Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith says the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good was legally justified. He shared his views in a video on his YouTube channel.
Legal Perspective Shared
Smith watched the video of the Minneapolis shooting several times. He noted that Good drove her car toward law enforcement officers. The analyst does not expect the agent to face any prosecution. Later, he called the actions of the agent justified from a legal view.
Questioning the Humanity
Smith also criticized the officer for not using less force. He suggested the agent should have shot the car tires instead. The car was parked before Good tried to drive away from ICE. “From a humanitarian perspective, however, why did you have to do that?” He believes the 37-year-old mother did not have to die that day.
Details of Incident
Good died after being shot three times in the face. The car hit an officer but did not knock him down. Then, the SUV crashed into two parked cars nearby. ICE officials claimed Good used her vehicle as a weapon. “It wasn’t necessary. You could have arrested her.”
Official Training Defended
Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem defended the officer at a press conference. She said the agent used his training to save his own life. Also, President Trump supported the officer on his Truth Social platform. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the federal claims false.
