Called Renee Good a Terrorist and sided with ICE in the Minneapolis Shooting

Following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, streamer xQc provided a series of comments defending the shooting. His arguments rely on the premise that the victim actively attacked law enforcement ("drive at police") and that any criticism of the officer’s actions implies support for "terrorists."

Below is a breakdown of the specific claims made in the chat logs and a factual refutation based on video analysis and use-of-force standards. I want to make it extremely clear to everyone before you read on. The DHS themselves have their own guidebook and training. What the officer did, factually... Is AGAINST this training. Even if you think she "deserved it", it doesn't matter, as the officer did not carry out his training.

Claim 1: "Drive at police -> get shot."

xQc’s Argument: He asserts a simple cause-and-effect: Good drove her vehicle directly at officers, making the shooting a clear-cut case of self-defence.

The Refutation:

• Video Evidence Contradicts "Ramming": Multiple angles of the incident analysed by major outlets (including The Washington Post and The New York Times) show that Good was not driving directly at the officer when shots were fired. The footage shows her vehicle steering away from the agent in an attempt to manoeuvre around them and flee the area.

• Trajectory Matters: Legal justification for lethal force requires an "imminent threat" of death or serious bodily harm. If a vehicle is turning away or moving at a slow speed to escape, the "imminent threat" standard is often not met. The agent stepped into the path or remained in front of the vehicle rather than moving to safety, a tactic widely criticized in modern policing.

Claim 2: "'Turns the wheels away' ... don't put people in survival situation and ask them to make forensic level analysis in 0.01 second"

xQc’s Argument: He dismisses the relevance of the car’s direction (turning away) and argues that officers cannot be expected to process details in split-second scenarios.

The Refutation:

• Officer-Created Jeopardy: Standard police training (and specifically policies in major departments like the NYPD and MPD) explicitly forbids officers from stepping in front of moving vehicles precisely to avoid this "0.01 second" dilemma. By positioning himself in front of the car, the agent created the very "survival situation" xQc mentions.

• Conflicting Orders: Witnesses and audio from the scene confirm that agents were shouting contradictory commands, one ordering her to "drive away" and another ordering her to "get out." Expecting a civilian to process conflicting armed commands in 0.01 seconds is equally unreasonable.

Claim 3: "Vehicles are weapons ... Imagine if you shoot a fake gun at police"

xQc’s Argument: He equates driving a car to pointing a gun (fake or real) at police, arguing that a car is inherently a deadly weapon that justifies immediate lethal force.

The Refutation:

• False Equivalence: While a car can be lethal, it is primarily a mode of transport. Courts have ruled that using a vehicle to flee is distinct from using it to assault. Shooting a driver creates an unguided missile (the crashing car), often endangering the public more than letting the suspect flee. Why do you think there's so many TV shows of cops chasing cars, often deploying stingers?

• Proportionality: The "fake gun" analogy fails because pointing a gun has no utility other than to threaten. Driving a car has a utility (transport/escape). Unless the driver is intentionally targeting people (which video evidence suggests she was not), the "weapon" classification is legally distinct from a firearm.

Claim 4: "Far left libtards defending terrorists" / "Trying to be Ben Laden"

xQc’s Argument: He categorizes the victim as a "terrorist" and anyone questioning the shooting as a terrorist sympathizer. The Refutation:

• Character Assassination: Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old poet, mother, and writer with no known history of violence or criminal record. Labelling a civilian traffic obstructionist as a "terrorist" (akin to Osama Bin Laden) is a hyperbolic strawman used to shut down valid inquiry into state violence.

• Civilian Rights: Questioning the use of lethal force against an unarmed woman (armed only with a vehicle she was trying to drive away) is a function of democratic oversight, not "terrorist defence."

Claim 5: "Stopping crime = Gestapo"

xQc’s Argument: He implies that critics believe any law enforcement action is fascist ("Gestapo"). The Refutation:

• Legality of the Stop: Reports indicate Good was simply blocking a lane or idling near an operation. There is no evidence she was committing a violent crime prior to the interaction. The criticism is not that "stopping crime" is bad, but that extrajudicial execution is an unacceptable response to a non-violent obstruction or traffic violation.
