On the killing of Renee Nicole Good, I just published a piece in @foreignpolicy.com arguing the Trump administration is weaponizing the narrative of โvehicular terrorismโ as a shortcut to justify an unlawful killing: โdeath squad logic, adapted to American streetsโ
foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/13/v...
๐งตIn my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
