President Donald Trump said Tuesday he now sees “both sides” of the Jan. 7 ICE shooting that killed a woman in Minneapolis—amid ongoing unrest and protests across the country over what’s widely believed to be an unjustified use of force.
Trump told reporters he “felt terribly” about Good being killed, adding, “I understand both sides of it,” before complaining about protesters at the scene.
The comments mark a departure from Trump’s previous rhetoric blaming Good for the shooting and claiming she ran over the officer, Jonathan Ross, before he fatally shot her, despite video footage that doesn’t show her car making contact with Ross, and accounts from state and local officials disputing the Trump administration’s narrative.
