The footage-shot by officer Jonathan Ross-captures part of the Wednesday confrontation. Toward the end, two off-camera expletives are audible; NBC News has not confirmed who utters them. Throughout the clip, officers shout commands while a woman who identifies herself as Good’s wife interacts with police.

  • The FBI has taken sole jurisdiction over the shooting probe.
  • Gov. Tim Walz voiced skepticism, saying a federal-only inquiry makes a “fair outcome” less likely.
  • Local agencies have been sidelined, heightening community distrust.
