The final seconds of Renee Nicole Good’s life now sit on an endless loop online, replayed by strangers who never knew her but feel the weight of what they see. Her SUV inches, bumps an officer who stays on his feet, then is ripped apart by gunfire. No warning in the clip, no visible lunge toward anyone. Just panic, motion, and then silence.
Into that silence, the country has poured its rage and fear. Good’s mother speaks of a gentle, artistic daughter who wrote poetry and dropped her child at school that morning. Elected leaders denounce “public murder” while the White House insists on “domestic terrorism” and “absolute immunity.” Between those extremes lies a brutal truth: a citizen is dead at federal hands, and trust in the story from Washington may have died with her.
