"Rabois argued that Pretti was at fault, writing that the protester was committing a "felony." One of Rabois' posts said, "[N]o law enforcement has shot an innocent person. [I[llegals are committing violent crimes every day." Another said: "[H]e unequivocally attempted to draw his weapon. [F]uck you." In another post that discussed citizens' ability to exercise their First, Second and Fourth Amendment rights, the VC responded weighed in to write: "[Y]es but interfering w a law enforcement operation is not protected by any of those amendments.""
"Rabois went on to say he doesn't believe that the Minneapolis police could be credible sources in an investigation. "[I] don't think you should ask any law enforcement in MN. But i am very open to reading views from any other urban jurisdiction." He instead blamed the city's police for the situation. "Because the MN police's refusal to cooperate is exactly what is leading to these treacherous conditions (for everyone).""
ICE agents shot and killed American citizen Alex Pretti during a Minneapolis incident. Khosla Ventures partner Keith Rabois defended ICE on X, asserting Pretti committed a felony, attempted to draw a weapon, and that interference with law enforcement is not constitutionally protected. Rabois questioned Minneapolis police credibility and blamed the city's refusal to cooperate for creating dangerous conditions. Khosla partners Ethan Choi and Vinod Khosla publicly disavowed Rabois' statements. X users split between supporters who cheered Rabois and critics who condemned him, and some suggested removing Khosla from founders' cap tables.
