"A few things are already clear from the best video angle out now: Pretti was directing traffic on a Minneapolis street. He was filming agents out in public, as is his undisputed right. An agent approached Pretti and then shoved a woman, hard, into a snowbank. Pretti put his hand up as he went to assist the woman. The masked agent who threw the woman to the ground draped himself over Pretti, then was joined by several of his colleagues."
"Pretti had a gun on him. An administration that once wrapped Kyle Rittenhouse in a loving embrace after he brought a rifle to a protest and killed two men took an interesting view of that fact. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement, an unsigned Homeland Security post said. An assassin tried to murder federal agents, Stephen Miller said. (JD Vance, the heir apparent to the Republican presidential nomination, reposted Miller.)"
Homeland Security agents fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis ICU nurse and researcher Alex Pretti on a Saturday morning in broad daylight. Video shows Pretti directing traffic and filming federal agents, an agent approaching and shoving a woman into a snowbank, and Pretti raising his hand while moving to assist. The masked agent who shoved the woman landed on Pretti and was joined by colleagues; they brought Pretti to the ground and shot him to death. The administration emphasized that Pretti carried a loaded handgun and officials described him as an assassin, while critics highlighted contrasting past responses to armed civilians.
