The video footage shows that Ms. Good was unarmed and not posing an immediate lethal threat. There's a fundamental difference between feeling uncomfortable and facing a life-threatening situation. Law enforcement officers receive training in de-escalation techniques for exactly these scenarios.
People saying "just comply and nothing will happen" are ignoring the reality that compliance doesn't always prevent tragedy. There are documented cases of unarmed, compliant individuals being shot by law enforcement. The standard should be objective threat assessment, not subjective fear.
The family deserves answers. Renee Good was a mother, a community member, and a human being. The fact that she's being portrayed as a threat when witness accounts say otherwise is deeply troubling. Federal agents must be held to the same accountability standards as everyone else.
This is another example of excessive force being used when other options were available. Tasers, pepper spray, backup—all of these exist specifically to prevent lethal outcomes. The threshold for using deadly force should be extremely high, and from what we know, that threshold was not met here.
