   One of the biggest stories around the States has been the shooting of   
   Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota, as the various videos have been   
   circulating online. After seemingly trying to run over an ICE agent, the   
   latter responded and fired, resulting in the 37-year-old woman passing   
   behind the wheel.   
      
   The reactions are divided, with some saying the agent acted accordingly,   
   while others think it was a bit too hasty, resulting in the tragic death   
   of a mother. One of the most prominent media personalities in basketball   
   and sports, Stephen A. Smith, is not one to shy away from sharing his   
   opinion on contentious topics, including political/social issues like this   
   one.   
      
   "I saw the video on numerous occasions, and seeing what transpired from a   
   lawful perspective, as it pertains to a law enforcement official, don't   
   expect him to be prosecuted. He was completely justified," Smith said.   
      
   It still could have been handled differently   
   Stephen A. is confident that no legal issues should follow the agent, as   
   he reacted accordingly to his training, profession and situation. However,   
   he still couldn't shake off the fact that the problem could have been de-   
   escalated in a non-tragic manner.   
      
   "She wasn't driving down the road, coming at you 90 miles an hour, she was   
   parked in the middle of the street. Rather than get out the car, she   
   wrongfully tried to drive off. And wrongfully disregarded a law   
   enforcement official because that it was ICE is and as a result, lost her   
   life because of it," he added.   
      
   What the correct conclusion is, however, is really subjective and complex   
   to determine, as it is the reason why so many people are arguing and   
   debating what the consequences for such an unfortunate event should be. At   
   the end of the day, one can only offer their condolences to Good's family   
   and pray that other problems do not arise from this situation.
