In a chaotic couple of seconds
A video filmed by the US immigration agent who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday has emerged, showing the moments before gunfire rang out.
The gunfire didn’t “ring out”. Quite the contrary. There’s nothing bell-like about gunshots. End all stupid journalistic clichés.
The 47-second footage, obtained by Minnesota-based outlet Alpha News, shows Renee Nicole Good sitting behind the wheel of her car and speaking to the officer.
US Vice-President JD Vance shared the clip on social media, commenting that the agent had acted in self-defence.
US VP lied, not for the first time.
The Trump administration says Good was blocking the road and impeding the work of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
That may be true. It is not a reason to shoot her in the head. Not even slightly.
Another agent approaches Good on the driver’s side and uses an expletive as he says: “Get out of the car.”
The agent filming the clip moves in front of Good’s car as she reverses.
In a chaotic couple of seconds, she turns the wheel to the right and pulls forwards.
The camera jerks up to the sky. “Woah, woah!” a voice says, as bangs are heard.
In the final part of the video the car is seen veering down the road. The ICE agent swears.
No the ICE agent doesn’t swear, the ICE agent calls the woman he’s just killed “fucking bitch”.
