"Video taken before the shooting showed Pretti directing traffic and holding a phone to record Border Patrol agents in the area. After an officer shoved a woman to the ground, Pretti attempted to help her when he was pounced on by multiple officers and pepper-sprayed. Pretti had a lawful permit to carry a concealed weapon, and video showed officers removing a handgun from Pretti's waistband before shooting him 10 times."
"Anybody who knows you have a concealed permit, and some guy is confronting you is federal enforcement, you say, Here are my hands. I have a loaded weapon on me, and you wait for further instruction. You do not actively, physically resist, he said, continuing: Now, you watch the video, and it's very, very chaotic. It may have looked like they might have disarmed this guy during the scuffle. You have whistles blowing. You can't hear anything. You hear, Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun!"
A claim was made without evidence that a Minneapolis protester violently obstructed federal agents before he was shot and killed. Video taken before the shooting showed the protester directing traffic and holding a phone to record Border Patrol agents. After an officer shoved a woman, the protester attempted to help and was pounced on by multiple officers and pepper‑sprayed. The protester held a lawful concealed‑carry permit, and video showed officers removing a handgun from his waistband before firing ten rounds. One commentary framed the scene as chaotic and urged investigation; other commentary and independent video analyses showed contrary evidence.
