… Pretti Posed No Threat

A new video of the killing of Alex Pretti shows the interaction between him and a swarm of DHS officers from start to finish … and, it batters the credibility of Trump officials who came out of the gates swinging, calling Pretti a domestic terrorist
The video shows Pretti directing traffic before it appears he is asked to move out of the street, which he does. As he walks toward the sidewalk, a DHS officer violently pushes a woman to the ground and Pretti moves toward her to help her up. Officers then pepperspray both Pretti and the woman and drag Pretti to the ground. He never pulls a weapon.
As Pretti is swarmed, you see an officer pull a gun — presumably the concealed weapon Pretti was caring. A second later another officer fires nine shots at Pretti, killing him.
As you know, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the incident “looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.” Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bonvino also defended the shooting as justified.
The video shows the opposite.
