This video has been confirmed; it’s quite the kill shot for the liberal media narrative that’s been forming around the shooting of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24 after intervening, stupidly, in a federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis. It has set the city aflame again, the incident occurring a little more than two weeks after the death of Renee Good, who was shot and killed after ramming her car into an ICE agent.
Pretti had broken ribs from a previous encounter with federal law enforcement and was a participant on an anti-ICE Signal chat that heavily coordinated actions to interfere with federal law enforcement. The new footage shows someone who, with a 97 percent probability, matches Mr. Pretti using facial recognition technology. He’s shown spitting and attacking vehicles carrying federal agents in an altercation that occurred on January 13. The Star Tribune, citing Pretti's family, confirmed that it's him:
Pretti was a left-wing activist who knew what he was getting himself into, not some Mother Theresa nurse who happened to be just a protester or legal observer. We know he was actually unemployed at the time of his death.
These people are unhinged, and Mr. Pretti died because of his own reckless actions.
UPDATE: Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the footage.
