The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In 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

"Most of all, through these performances, she lands a kind of symbolism—the heart as a physical and metaphorical organ that binds languages, experiences, and hopes—that would seem cloying if you attempted to explain it aloud. But it’s not here. The desire is earned."
I liked Cherien Dabis’ ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU the first time I watched it at Sundance. I have come to LOVE it upon second and now third watch.
