Sara Haines Says Renee Good ‘Contributed’ to Tensions Leading to Her Death: We Must ‘Remain Peaceful’

The ladies of The View continued to discuss the shooting incident in Minneapolis that left Renee Nicole Good dead.

During the Monday, January 12, broadcast of the morning talk show, the cohosts analyzed the latest video footage from the January 7 ordeal that appears to be taken from the point of view of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fired the fatal shots.

Whoopi Goldberg wondered, “[How do people] watch the same footage and see things so differently?”

As the National Enquirer reported, the 37-year-old mother of three who was shot and killed spoke calmly from the driver’s seat of her Honda Pilot, telling an ICE agent, “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad.”

“Protocol wasn’t followed,” View cohost Sara Haines pointed out, adding that law enforcement shouldn’t be stepping in front of a person’s vehicle. Haines, 48, also noted that the shooter (identified in multiple reports as Jonathan Ross) was holding a cell phone to record what was happening.

“These are all things that they shouldn’t be doing,” she said. “But it is a reminder, as this is happening in our country, that we have to have peaceful protests because I think any time you have someone that is obstructing or cutting people off…”

Haines prefaced by saying that Good did not “deserve to be dead,” but said that her actions of appearing to hold up traffic during the confrontation created a “tinderbox.”

“The fact that she was cutting off the road also contributed to the heat of this situation,” Haines said. “We’ve got to remain peaceful. You can leave no room for error on this.”

Good was shot at close range after an ICE officer approached her car and she began to pull forward.

Federal officials claim the agent was acting in self-defense, but many people — including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey — are saying that’s not the case.

While Ross’ father spoke about the incident to the Daily Mail, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Newsweek: “We are not going to expose the name of this officer. He acted according to his training. This officer is a longtime ICE officer who has been serving his country his entire life.”
