DHS vs. City Leaders

DHS stated Good “weaponized her vehicle,” forcing the agent to shoot.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected that:

> “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video for myself, I want to tell everybody directly, that is bulls—. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody getting killed.”

Victim’s Family

Good’s mother, Donna Ganger, told the Star Tribune:

> “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
