ACCOUNTABILITY

The video from the officer who shot Renee Nicole Good is now out. It’s not hard to find. Pick your favorite platform and view it from there. The image I posted is a screenshot from the FOX News platform.

It happened quickly it was over in less than a minute. What led up to it is under investigation including what matters – the immediate moments right before the shots were fired.

From what I saw and heard from the video.

  • Ms. Good was in the driver’s seat and was perpendicular to traffic.
  • Portland is a one way street and you can see it from how the cars were parked.
  • Sirens were blaring.
  • The officer who fired the shot was being engaged by Ms. Good’s partner/wife.
  • Commands could be heard for Ms. Good to get out of the F’in car as she was impeding traffic.
  • You can see her back up and you can hear the engine rev as she drives forward and it wasn’t slow “I’ll nudge you” driving. It was I’m outta here driving.
  • The officer can be heard getting hit by the car and him firing shots at Ms. Good.
  • The car continues to drive forward and barrels down the road and hits parked cars. (My assumption is because of her bullet wound that she lost control of the vehicle)

Reasonable people can differ even if they saw the same exact thing. Whether she intended to hit him or just get away, will be debated. Unfortunately, tragically, we will never know.

What matters for this shooting was the officer’s frame of mind when the car drove towards him actually hitting him.

Both the officer and Ms. Good deserve to be treated fairly. Whose actions contributed to the tragic shooting? That’s who’s accountable.

Hug your loved ones and please tell them to obey law enforcement. It’s better to be alive and sue them after. Either you win or you lose. Dying – because your actions were viewed as a threat, is and will always be a losing proposition.

I pray for everyone involved that they heal from this tragedy. Be well, everyone!

LIVE GRATEFUL.
