I already posted this on social media, but I just want to make sure that Media Nation readers are able to take advantage of the gift link.
The New York Times has undertaken another video analysis of the killing of Renee Good at the hands of ICE agent Jonathan Good. As you’ll see, it’s absolutely clear — as it was in earlier videos — that Good’s vehicle did not run over Ross (I mean, really?) and did not strike him. The most likely explanation was that she was trying, very slowly, to drive away, cutting her wheels away from Good and another agent.
It’s possible that Good’s vehicle brushed up against him, but that remains unclear. It appears that Ross slipped on the ice and braced himself by placing his hand on the roof of her vehicle. Oh, and there’s this: After the shooting, an ICE agent is heard describing Good as a “fucking bitch” as she, mortally wounded, careens down the street. The Times has determined that it was Ross himself who used those words to describe his victim.
Claims that Ross suffered internal bleeding are obviously a lie. You can see him casually strolling down the street after shooting Good four times. Federal authorities aren’t going to do anything, and they’re impeding an investigation by state and local officials.

I think it basically all comes down to this, that familiar phrase, “an itchy trigger finger.” Also “an accident” – though not an accident – “waiting to happen.”
Thank you for posting the Times video analysis. I’m a NYT subscriber so I watched it yesterday and I’m glad that you are giving non-Times subscribers the opportunity toi see it.
Oops, Jonathan Ross is named “Jonathan Good” in one place.
