Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Blasts US Government Over Fatal Shooting of Renee Nicole Good
In a scathing critique, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has condemned the federal government for its response to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three shot dead by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for accountability from those responsible.
Kerr's comments came after a moment of silence was held at the Minnesota Timberwolves' game against the Cavaliers to honor Good's life and the tragic circumstances of her death. When asked about the government's characterization of the shooting as self-defense, Kerr expressed his disappointment and frustration, saying it was "shameful" that the government was lying about what happened despite video evidence and witness testimony contradicting their claims.
"This is human nature to not want to deal with this stuff, but we have to think about it," Kerr said. "We can't just ignore the fact that law enforcement officers can commit murder and seemingly get away with it." He also praised the Timberwolves for recognizing Good's life and expressing sadness over her death.
This is not the first time Kerr has spoken out on current events and social justice issues. The coach has a history of voicing his opinions, including speaking at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and making headlines for sharing his thoughts on hot-button topics such as gun reform and immigration policies.
Kerr's comments have sparked a wider conversation about police brutality and accountability in the US, with many calling for greater transparency and justice for victims like Renee Nicole Good. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for ongoing dialogue and action to address systemic issues that affect marginalized communities.

I'm literally livid rn 
this is not what we need more of - another powerful voice calling out systemic failures 
Steve Kerr's right to speak truth to power though 
can't let the government sweep this under the rug like it did with Renee Nicole Good's family. It's all about accountability now 
and I'm glad the Timberwolves showed some courage in recognizing her life 
we need more of these conversations about police brutality and reform 
this is not just about Renee, it's about protecting our communities from systemic oppression 
this is so sad what happened to Renee Nicole Good... I mean, I get why Steve Kerr is upset it's ridiculous how the government is trying to spin this... 
my heart goes out to Renee's family and loved ones, they deserve justice and truth. 
I'm so sick of politicians and officials just brushing off these kinds of incidents and saying it's 'self-defense'. Like, we all know what really went down here... Renee Nicole Good was a human being, not some statistic or obstacle for law enforcement to overcome 
. And don't even get me started on the fact that she was killed by an ICE agent. What even is the point of having law enforcement if they're just gonna turn on civilians and claim it's 'self-defense'? 
I'm so sick of politicians and law enforcement officials trying to spin a narrative when the video footage is clear as day 
... like, come on Steve Kerr is right on point here, we can't just ignore this stuff 
. It's not just about Renee Nicole Good, it's about all these other cases where law enforcement officers get away with murder and it's like "oh, they're heroes" 
. The fact that the government is lying about this shooting despite evidence to the contrary is just mind-boggling 
.
shouldn't have to wonder what's really going on behind closed doors. and another thing, what's with all these cops getting away scot-free? it's like they're above the law or something 
not good for anyone, fam.
. We need more transparency and accountability in our justice system, period 
. I mean, we've seen this kind of thing happen too many times before, and it's time for us to take a hard look at how we're treating our marginalized communities 
.
. We need more people like them who are willing to take a stand and say enough is enough 
.
