"The clip initially published by digital outlet The News Movement on Wednesday was recorded on Jan. 13 near E. 36th Street and Park Avenue in Minneapolis' Powderhorn neighborhood. It shows the 37-year-old ICU nurse among a crowd of protesters yelling at agents in an unmarked vehicle. Pretti can then be seen kicking out the SUV's taillight, causing one of the officers inside to jump out of the vehicle."
"He then grabs Pretti by the jacket and pulls him to the ground while other agents pile on, the clip shows. The struggle lasts for about 20 seconds, at which point Pretti manages to break away from the fray, which also saw officers spray the crowd with rubber bullets and tear gas. The agents ultimately retreated without bringing Pretti into custody."
