It’s very convenient: No matter what she did, you can claim she was disobeying police orders. Which in the minds of a depressing number of people with a taste for boot leather, merits summary execution.
Officer 1: “Get out of the car!”
<simultaneously>
Officer 2: “Get out of here!”
The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.
This deserves a clear and fair investigation

Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before!
Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense" www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

ROGERS: Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage?
TRUMP: Yeah. There's one thing. My own morality. My own mind. That's the only thing that can stop me.
