The bar in the US right now seems to be if someone with any authority feels like killing you.

The video evidence shows beyond peradventure that Renee Good didn't strike the ICE agent — who isn't a cop — with her vehicle.

EDIT: See the NY Times's frame-by-frame, time-synchronized compilation of the various videos [0], especially starting at about 3:42 in that video [1].

The agent wasn't hit by Good's vehicle - starting at 4:53 of the video [2], he was standing well away from her vehicle (see 5:42 [3]), leaning on it with his hand on the front fender, and his feet slipped as she was trying to pull away.

He wasn't hit or run over — at most he was slightly pushed by the vehicle. His reaction — "fucking bitch" [4].

As to Alex Pretti: You're focusing like a laser on a fact — if such it be — that's completely irrelevant.
