Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the Bullwork. We have what appears to be leaked body cam video from the federal agent that murdered Renee Good. And to me, this body cam footage confirms that that's exactly what happened.
Interestingly, it was leaked to Alpha News, which I'm not familiar with, which appears to be a right-wing site, which just shows you how far gone the MAGA media is on all this.
that they're going to, that they think what I'm about to show you in some way exonerates this guy.
And boy, it's the exact opposite to me.
So it's a 47 second video.
Fair warning, you know, just because we know what happens to her, it is traumatizing to see it this close up.
You don't, there's no blood or, you know, you don't see anything graphic.
But I did want to warn people.
I'm going to go through it very slowly because this body cam footage, I think, gives us the best.
perspective on like what it felt like to be in that moment in that scenario.
I have from the start that of the view that like these frame by frame analysis of this
is stupid because these guys had no business being in this neighborhood.
They had no business pulling weapons or wearing masks or going after protesters who are
exercising the first moment right.
Just the whole like whether which way she turned her wheel or whatever was like never
really that important to me because in a free country, a citizen of the state should not fear
that agents are going to go surround her car when she's not breaking any laws and then shoot and kill her
when she tries to leave. So that's my perspective on this. But I think that because there's a lot
of discussion on this, because the vice president's obsessed with this, vice president's tweeted this
exact video, as a matter of fact, I think it's important to go through it second by second because
it reveals the most clearly to me that this was an intentional killing and that the perpetrator
should be prosecuted. So let's do it. We start here just to kind of get your bearings. We're
about 30 seconds before the ICE agent fires his weapon. He's walking around the vehicle
with Renee Good in the driver's seat and her dog in the backseat. So let's watch a little bit.
All right, so you can see there, the ice agent Jonathan Ross, the one that kills Renee good.
Jonathan Ross gets out of the car.
He sees the dog in the back seat of the Honda pilot there.
And then he walks around the front of the car, at which point with her window down, Renee says to him,
that's fine, dude.
I'm not mad at you.
Very calmly.
She smiles.
Let's actually play that one more time.
I think that's very important.
important. 20 seconds after this, she's dead. She looks at him very calmly, window down, dog in the
back of the car. That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you. So that, that does not seem like a
menacing person at that point. It does not seem like, it's not like he comes around the car
and it's somebody with a bunch of tattoos on his face, on their face, and they see a weapon,
you know, in the driver's seat. You know, it's not somebody that's like raging, yelling at him.
you, I say, Jen, I want to take you out. Like, none of that. Calmly, she smiles. That's fine, dude.
She says specifically, I'm not mad at you. 20 seconds later, he kills her.
Show your face. I'm not mad at it. It's okay. We don't change our plates every morning,
just so you know. There'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine.
U.S. citizen. Former fucking guys. You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say,
go get yourself some lunch, big boy.
Okay, so after Good tells Ross that she's not madame.
He walks around the back of the car.
He encounters someone else who's there with her.
And she's a little bit more aggressive, tells him that she's a U.S. citizen.
There's somebody shouting that they should take off their mask.
And he comes back around towards his car, back towards the front of the vehicle,
at which point she's saying, hey, big boy,
go get some lunch, teasing him a little bit. She's obviously taping him. He's obviously taping her back.
So, like, that's what happens to the next 18 seconds. So he encounters Renee Good. She very calmly says
she's not mad at him, and the kid she wants to get out of there. He sees the dog. He sees the other
person. There are other protesters that are shouting. There's some sirens. And he gets,
well, just so he gets teased a little bit. Who knows whether that affects his psyche, but he does get teased.
It's called Big Boy by someone else, not the person he murders, but by someone else.
And now the next 10 seconds is where tragedy ensues.
So you hear in the distance, the other officers approaching René Good.
And they are shouting, the one guy that I can hear, they're shouting, get out of the car, get out of a car.
Ross comes to join them.
He walks in front of the car.
He was off to the side.
He walks right in front of the car.
And you can see clearly on his body cam footage that he can see the driver.
Now, I want to pull up this one frame.
He can see two things clearly.
Number one, Ross is in front of the car and he can see Renee Good turning the wheel.
Okay?
She's turning the wheel, not towards him, right?
He's right in front of the car.
If she wanted to ram him over, she would just press on the gas,
and she could have rammed him over right there.
Okay.
But she wasn't doing that.
She was turning the wheel to turn away from him.
He can see that.
It's right there.
We can just see it.
It's point blank.
The windshield isn't dirty or doesn't have slead on it.
Like, he can see very clearly,
Renee good right before she dies,
turning the wheel away from him while he's standing right in front of her.
He can also see that this other woman is trying to get in the car.
Right? So again, like, it's not a situation where it's like, oh, these are agitators. They're both in the car and they are revving their engines and trying to come after up. No, it's like, it's like the passenger is trying to get in the car. The dog is in the backseat. The car is stopped. She's turning the wheel. He can see that clearly. Right before he shoots her. So let's watch the last few seconds.
In the last few seconds, you see his body can get jarred.
You hear the three gunshots and you see the car pull away.
And then what do you hear?
Fucking bitch.
That's what Jonathan Ross or one of the other ice agents says about Renee Good after they execute her in the head.
They shoot her three times and kill her with her dog in the baby.
back seat with her kids' toys in the passenger seat.
They shoot her three times in the head and then say,
fucking bitch.
Fucking bitch.
You're telling me that's not a murder?
We walk off after the car and let her bleed out.
You're telling me this guy was scared for his life, by the way.
I want to play this one more time.
I want to play it at full speed at real life speed, not slow-mo,
not frame by frame, real life speed.
I want to play this one more time, starting from the moment where he starts walking in
front of the car to when he sees her turn the wheel to when he shoots her and murders her.
Let's watch it one more time.
Get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
Are you fucking kidding me, you wusses?
And all you tough guys on the internet, all you alpha macho guys, this car isn't even moving.
Like this car is barely moving.
You're scared of this?
You had to shoot three times?
I mean, like, this is something you do with, like, your teen kid who's screwing around.
You kind of, like, press the gas a little bit while they're not getting in the car.
Like, you're afraid that you're going to die in that moment?
Let's watch it again.
Out of the car.
Get out of the fucking car.
Get out of the car.
You're telling me this guy was afraid he was going to.
die? Like, the car is barely moving. Like, even if it did hit him, you're, you just kind of move
off to the side. She had no space. It's not like there's any space for her to jam on the gas and run
him over and trample him. Like, how big of wimps are all you people that are defending this
and saying that this guy had legitimate fear for his life in that moment? Like, what? Do you guys get
scared walking down the street in a neighborhood when cars are going 15 miles an hour? Are you jumping by?
jumping behind the bushes to try to get away from them?
Like, how do you guys live a life?
How do you survive in society?
If you're so scared and you're so trigger-happy,
you have to shoot somebody when their cars moving like three miles an hour,
two inches in front of you?
Like, well, it's the worst thing that's going to happen to this guy?
Like, some bruise quad, an adductor strain?
Like, are you shitting me?
Are you shitting?
Are you, these fucking people are gaslighting us
to thinking that this guy had to murder someone in this moment?
Michael Fanon, my friend Michael Fanon,
got his ass beat at the Capitol.
He got his ass beat.
People were tasing at them.
People were hitting them with poles.
There was a mob trampling them.
They didn't kill a single person outside.
You're trying to compare this to Ashley Babette.
It happened inside.
Like, I'm sick Nick, who's dead now.
Like these Capitol police got trampled.
They didn't kill anybody.
This guy was scared because when he saw the wheel turn the car going two miles an hour right in front of it.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Like, cops put themselves on the line every day.
The cops are in more danger than this every day across this country.
Every day.
It's a hard job.
It's a real job.
I respect people that do law enforcement.
Do it the right way.
Want to serve their community.
Want to protect people.
I have nothing but respect.
All right.
This is a scary country.
A lot of weapons are everywhere.
I get it.
If you're a cop and it's like you're in an unknown situation,
you're walking into a, you know, a drug den.
You know, you're walking into a house where you have a warrant where there's gang activity.
You don't know if people behind that door you're carrying weapons, all right?
You know, you're pulling over a car and the suspect has, you know it to be a violent criminal.
come out to the window.
I understand that sometimes
the cops have to live in fear.
That's scary.
This wasn't fucking scary.
There was nothing scary about this situation.
This lady told him,
she was like, dude, I'm not mad at you 20 seconds earlier.
A 37-year-old lady in a beanie in a Honda pilot
with stuffies in the passenger seat.
You thought this lady was a,
crazed murderer?
She talked to you. She just talked to you.
I will not be fucking gaslight
lit by these people. And I will not, I will not
calm down the rhetoric and tone it down.
I'd be like, oh, you got to understand the other
perspective. Jonathan Ross murdered her.
She talked to him calmly.
Said, dude, I'm not mad.
Other agents stormed her car. She was afraid.
He walks around to the front.
She turns her wheel to get away from. You can see that
clearly he can see it clearly.
She goes to get away from him.
Like you hear a sound.
Like maybe, again, maybe it did bump into him.
Not good, by the way.
She should get a, there should be punishment for that.
You can't not listen to cops.
All right?
You can't bump into a cop with your car.
You can't do that.
There should be a punishment for that.
But the punishment shouldn't be summary execution on the street.
About getting like a little bumper car, Nick, at worst case scenario.
at two miles an hour.
I'm like, seriously.
I've seen more violent attacks at the bumper cars, the carousel gardens, than that.
All right?
Like, this is fucking insane.
Okay.
I will not, I will not abide any efforts to be like, oh, you have to feel bad for this guy.
Or, oh, it was a tough call in this moment.
We all are watching this.
This is not a tough call.
If I'm carrying a weapon and I just talked to a 30,
year old lady and a Honda pilot and she said, I'm not mad at you dude, smiled.
And then some other people start yelling at her.
And she goes to turn her car away from me.
And it's like right in front of me and she's going two miles an hour.
I'm not going to take out my fucking weapon and shoot her in the head three times.
And then call her a fucking bitch after I killed her.
He orphaned her child.
He orphaned her child then called her a fucking bitch after he killed her.
No. No. No. We do not have to accept this. People should protest peacefully, should speak out about this, but do not let Donald Trump and J.D. Vance and Christy Nome and these thugs try to convince you that this is anything other than murder.
Because that's what it is.
