Wearing body armor?
Can this first be established before people go off the rails accepting it?
It seems like something that would have been known by government official on day one, and if true would been part of the description about Pretti’s intentions on that day.

I was at home when he was shot, he was out harassing federal agents. Which is why he was shot and I wasn’t.
You are dumb.

If he was, it would have been in the first sentence out of Kristy Noam’s mouth. This is more right wing spin cycle BS that they will repeat to each other and declare “proven.”

Noam and Bogino read the exact same statement saying the nurse was a terrorist who went after ICE with a gun and the good ICE agents prevented a mass shooting.
Are you actually asleep or just brain dead?

I'm not LEO, but have gone through local citizens police academies with our local department. Over a year understanding how they operate. Drive arounds. Shooting and self-defense classes. So, I could see how they'd think about this.
He had every legal right to carry, and he never brandished the weapon — it stayed holstered until the ICE agent pulled it out and accidentally discharged it. He was then shot ten times after he was already subdued. The agent was standing two feet away; if people can see from a compressed video twenty feet back that it wasn’t a gun, he certainly could in person. My honest takeaway: armor draws scrutiny, a handgun raises perceived threat, and together they change how law enforcement responds.
But, and here's the most important part to me:
I have to question a person's train of thought going to such a situation carrying a firearm legal or not. It’s probably not a good idea to go to such a volatile situation with a legal or not legal concealed weapon. On top of that getting involved with law enforcement while they are doing their job whether you agree with it or not.

Another paid agitator trying to control the narrative.
Just know if your anarcho-communist revolution is successful, the agitators and shock troops are the first in the killing fields and camps once the party is in control,

A vest is a piece of clothing. Body armor has at least Kevlar and is distinctly recognizable for it’s ballistic protective properties by it’s design.
I do not see a vest with any ballistic properties. Thermal properties maybe.

How does the presence of soft body armor, plate carriers etc and the presence of a handgun affect the way law enforcement views you?
IIRC, it's against the law in Louisiana to wear body armor while committing a crime. He committed a crime shoving a fed. He would have had charges pressed had he not been shot.

The way he behaved, he could have just as easily had a bomb strapped to himself.
Any audio of this guy during his attempted arrest? Did he make death threats too?
He does profile as dangerous. When so called protestors stalk, yell, jostle, spit in your face, block you, touch you, and throw objects at you—you have only seconds to handle an armed individual.

He clearly wasn’t subdued considering how body position when shot

Provide a copy - not some regurgitation of he said she said.

Protesting / verbally assaulting a cop
deserves the death penalty?
Not at all.
But what does that have to do with Pretti?
He was not protesting. He was interfering. Then he resisted arrest while armed, to the extent it took multiple officers to wrestle with him.

1. That just looks like a chest rig. He may or may not have had plates.
2. Even when his jacket was covering everything it looks like he's wearing tacticool pants & boots, baseball cap, etc. He's kitted up and he sorta wants everybody to know it. Yes, that will get you more scrutiny than some land whale in a muumuu if you're just in observation mode. I couldn't tell you if they personally kept that in the front of their minds once the scuffle started, but that's not a training thing, that's just an individual "how does my brain work" thing.

You must have worked under Biden's DHS who did nothing.
You can't fight with LEO while armed and not expect consequences. Why fight with the agents knowing what the outcome could be?

Either you take medication or you are currently off of them.
Anyone with 2 brain cells can deduce that this was a good shoot.
He went looking for an altercation and found it.
Protesting is one thing. Harassing and interfering in legal LEO operations is not protesting. Carrying a CC weapon without proper ID is also a no-no. It's not a coincidence that these leftist goons always know exactly where to be.
