The Spin


Left narrative

No prosecutor has stepped up and no agency has taken responsibility since a mother of three died because a masked agent decided a driver trying to leave a terrifying scene deserved bullets. This is the best way for the Good family to get justice and for the officials who designed a campaign of intimidation against Somali and Hispanic neighborhoods to be back in the spotlight.

Right narrative

Suing Trump administration figures five weeks before the midterms looks like campaign messaging, not a wrongful-death claim. None of the cabinet secretaries named in the suit had anything to do with this incident. Good refused lawful commands while behind the wheel of a heavy vehicle and then accelerated her vehicle toward an officer, who was left with no choice but to shoot.
