BREAKING: Bodycam Shows Aggressive Renee Good Made Eye Contact with ICE Agent Before Aiming Her Car at Him

Another tragic confrontation is being rapidly repackaged into a political morality tale, but newly released body-camera footage tells a far more complete — and inconvenient — story.

On Wednesday morning, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was driving through a Minneapolis neighborhood that was the site of an active Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation. Rather than passing through, Good stopped her vehicle diagonally in the roadway, blocking traffic — and, as the video now shows, actively inserting herself into a volatile law enforcement encounter.

Footage obtained by Alpha News and posted to X on Friday provides the clearest view yet of what unfolded in the moments before Good was shot and killed. And it sharply contradicts the narrative advanced by left-wing activists and sympathetic media outlets.

Contrary to claims that Good was a terrified mother and poet caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, the video depicts a woman who was neither passive nor fearful.

As ICE agents approached the Honda Pilot, they issued clear, lawful commands for Good to exit the vehicle. Two agents stood near the driver’s side as she remained seated behind the wheel. The camera angle is the most unobstructed view released so far.

WARNING: The following videos contain images and language that some viewers may find disturbing.

At one point, an officer walked past the driver’s side window. Good looked at him, smiled, and said, “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you,” in a tone that came across not as fear, but open sarcasm.

Her demeanor reflected defiance, not panic.

At the same time, Good’s lesbian partner, positioned behind the vehicle, taunted officers on scene.

“You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy,” she told one officer.

While the taunting itself did not cause the shooting, it provides critical context. The situation was already escalating, and tensions were being actively inflamed — not calmed.

The officer who ultimately fired the fatal shot was wearing a body camera. His footage shows Good receiving repeated, lawful orders to exit the vehicle. She did not comply. Instead, she made direct eye contact with the officer positioned in front of the car — and then accelerated.

This was not the involuntary reaction of a confused or frightened bystander. Based on the video, it appears to have been a conscious decision to escalate a confrontation with armed federal agents by weaponizing a vehicle.

Before this footage surfaced, activists and media figures wasted no time transforming Good into a symbol — a martyr of alleged federal brutality. She was canonized within hours, portrayed as an innocent woman overwhelmed by chaos and hunted down by ICE.

That narrative does not survive contact with the evidence.

It is always tragic when a life is lost. That reality does not change simply because the facts are politically inconvenient. It is also true that the officer involved is alive — possibly because he reacted decisively in a moment of imminent danger.

Law enforcement officers are not obligated to absorb lethal force to satisfy a media narrative. When faced with a vehicle accelerating toward them, they have the right — and the responsibility — to protect themselves and others.

Facts matter. Video matters. And in this case, they tell a story very different from the one activists want the public to believe.
