Not true.
He reached for his weapon while the car was in reverse.
When the car moves forward he has already positioned himself with his left hand propped against the side of the front fender (somewhere between the headlight and the front tire) with his feet back out of any potential path and the gun pointed at the driver.

This photo is just prior to the car moving forward and the first shot.

I've watched the videos countless times. When the tyres spin, he draws his weapon. The other angle is far clearer as the weapon is on his right hip and it's plain as day to see he draws it after she accelerates the first time.

He reaches for the weapon while the car is backing. In every video in which it can be seen. The still photo I posted is prior to the car moving forward, prior to the first shot. He fires the instant the car starts forward.

No he did not. He was in the front and was acrually walking toward the left
I think the agent was filming front passenger side of the car, as she backed up it gave the illusion of him moving, and it looks like he took one step to the right before the car hit him.

This is not someone in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's someone in the position they placed themselves in seemingly thinking they're above the consequences.
The exact is true for the so-called officer as well.
Going out on a limb guessing; when Noem said that he reacted in accordance to his training, I presume that was true. He positioned himself for Qualified Immunity by placeing his left hand on the car. Any surge forward would then "justify" the weaponization of the vehicle claim - whether it is true or not.

She was clearly in the wrong, and her actions were never going to end well,
Why not? That has happenned THOUSANDS of times across america without anyone getting shot in the face. Sometimes perhaps even more dangerous scenarios so the argument that "her actions were never going to end well" is both fatalistic, and totally false. That officer CHOSE to shoot her in the face and all appearances are that he didn't need to.

but the administration coming out with language like that is ridiculous and no better than people branding ICE agents as nazis.

The rhetoric is just silly and not helping anything.
Moreso when people can watch teh video play out. Makes a person wonder whether one can trust what this adminstration reports as factual.

Yes, his hand is on his hip and he draws as she started forward.

The escalation is having squads of armed agents sweep through people’s neighborhoods. That’s bound to bring out opposition and inevitably lead to tragedy like this.

ICE is not trained to sweep neighborhoods. Historically, ICE has conducted focussed operations, targeting specific individuals etc. And they're certainly not trained in the proper procedures to force a vehicle to move. How many videos have we seen of ICE agents smashing car windows and yanking occupants out of the car to the ground. The driver probably had the same thoughts when two ICE agents rushed her car - in fact one was reaching into her open window as she put the car in motion.


She was clearly in the wrong, and her actions were never going to end well, but the administration coming out with language like that is ridiculous and no better than people branding ICE agents as nazis.

The rhetoric is more than silly. It gives permission for ICE agents to treat U.S. citizens as domestic terrorist.

Agree.
If anything, this incident illustrates the absolute necessity of citizens observing/recording the events in real-time to either support or counter the narrative given by untrustworthy adminstrations.

Sometimes I think the USA should end this free movement between states thing. And movement of fed money too. Let the low productivity states fend for themselves instead of leaching off the high productivity (bluer average) ones.

As for now tho, people can relocate. They can even just travel if they feel like it.

I wonder what state those various ICE agents are from?
I just found the article that states that she did indeed move to Minneapolis last year. The thing though is that according to the article from the NY post she was part of an anti-ICE activist group. Sometimes activists go looking for trouble and actually find it.

Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.”

In many cases the same people that railed against minor inconveniences during COVID like mask mandates. Funny how the federal government isn't the problem anymore.
The difference is the Federal government is enforcing laws that were created during a democratic process by the elected representatives of the people. And now people are trying to prevent the enforcement of those laws.

That is simply false.

He reaches when neither the break or reverse lights are on, and when the car is moving forward the first time after the front wheels spin.

Screenshot_20260109_170921_Chrome.jpg


At 9 seconds on the the video her reverse light is visible and she brakes. The officer is not visible.



Screenshot_20260109_170937_Chrome.jpg

At 10 seconds in the video the brake lights are off, as is her reverse light. Her vehicle is now in drive. The officer has not drawn his weapon.

Screenshot_20260109_171032_Chrome.jpg


At 11 seconds in the video she accelerates, the tyres spin, and the officer clearly places his hand on his firearm.

Screenshot_20260109_171053_Chrome.jpg


A few frames later at 11 seconds in the video, the vehicle continues forward at the officer, wheels facing forward, and the officer is aiming at the driver, or in the process of.

So no, your claim that he drew his weapon whilst reversing is flat-out wrong.

And? People have a right to free speech.
Sometimes activists go looking for trouble and actually find it.
"Don't protest the government because you might be shot" is certainly a take.

That's the question. Many, many people (and a number of judges) are convinced that those laws are not being inforced in a legal fashion.

So you are justifying the killing for ideological reasons. Got it.

For everyone their is a potential law suit. The first officer was attempting to violate her fourth amendment right.
If she only abided by the officers command.
