re: Interesting stabilized shot of Pretti's death.

This was my post (in response to the nonsensical "he didn't have his ID or CC permit" justification)
quote:
Again, this isn't really relevant.
The agents shot either because they reacted to hearing "GUN" and freaked or b/c the gun in the LEO's possession accidentally discharged.
No time for any analysis as to his legal status of possessing that gun, nor to check his ID, existed.

An unarmed man was shot posing no threat. That's pretty fair.
Unarmed and posing no threat. I have been told repeatedly by leftists that those conditions still qualify for lethal force.
But Pretti was armed that day, and he was resisting arrest. Taking a gun with you to harass and obstruct law enforcement sounds like a combination that could lead to bad outcomes. And they did for this guy.

He didn’t protect the woman he put his hands on law enforcement. You do that and you are asking for trouble. Did he ever announce the fact that he had a gun?

Everyone makes choices. These officers were trying to arrest an illegal immigrant who had violated our laws. Unfortunately this man listening to his democrat politicians who have a vested interest in changing the Somali fraud narrative had convinced him along with others to go to a location to prevent the officers lawful arrest. In the midst of whistles and disorienting trouble this man for whatever reason decides not go peacefully with the officers. This choice was a mistake. Whether an investigation will find the officers violated their rules of conduct as prescribed by law is now in question sadly he has lost his life because of his choice and decision. We can all view the action of the officers and play arm chair quarterback. Just like in a football replay there will be many opinions depending unfortunately on preconceived notions and your source of information. No one wants to take away anyone’s right to assemble and free speech but the job these officers are doing in rounding up criminals is difficult and only made worse by the actions of many of these people which of course is their main point. Back to the replay, it’s always easier to speculate where someone made a bad choice in a tragedy like this in slow motion but in real time is not a friend to perfect responses. In the end, this man lost his life because of his choices and sadly there will likely be more until Minneapolis decides to calm its citizens. It is telling that this type of violence seems specific to this one area in Minneapolis that ICE is working. All others seem peaceful including Texas Florida and Louisiana I’ve heard Waltz talked to Pres Trump and that he promised to turn over the illegals in jail and others had he agreed to this earlier instead of the fight back rhetoric we might have two people able to be with their families tonight.

Goober, try approaching your hometown LEOs armed and not inform them. When they find out see what happens.
While they are disarming you resist. At best theyre gonna walk a mudhole in you and if you make any perceived wrong move they will blow you away.

Libs are still hoping to get a minority shot so that they can really get the ball rolling. Many on their bench don’t care about whities.
The ultimate goal is to get cities burning.

*The gun was behind his back.
Weren't the ICE agents telling him "put your hands behind your back!"
Make it make sense.

Why are you limiting it to 'arrest?' If I interfere with a cop doing traffic duty, I am still interfering with a police operation and should be arrested. If a cop is taking witness statements and I interfere, I should be arrested.
He was interfering with law enforcement officers doing their official duty. There's no need to limit it to just arrests unless you are trying to push a narrative not supported by the entire picture.

At the end of the day, this individual decided to get into an altercation with law enforcement officials.
If you don’t trust law enforcement officials, I would recommend not engaging with them.

Had he complied, he’d be alive today.
Good shoot in a highly volatile sich-e-ation
Wonder if his baws are second guessing their “revolt” now.

I assume something happened prior to the shove.
You should ask yourself why you are so quick to give the benefit of a doubt when you haven't seen the evidence

That’s great.
Go protest with the rest of your loser comrades.

Link?
It looked to me like they were trying to get him to lie prone on his stomach and he was resisting their efforts of pulling his arms out to get that outcome.
If you have audio, post it. If not, admit you’re just making shite up.

There is a lot of bad in the videos I saw. The original ICE agent that pushed the woman down had at least 3-4 opportunities to deescalate the situation, but he did not. That same agent was whacking the dude's head with the pepper spray can while the other agents were attempting to detain him.
Right. That’s not good. But it is not relevant to the decision by the officer that ultimately fired the fatal rounds.

He could have stayed at home.
But even if he really wanted to go, he didn't have to go armed.
But even if he really wanted to go and be armed he could have stayed at a safe distance.
But even if he really wanted to go and be armed and be in the thick of it, he didn't have to get phyiscal with the officers.
But even if he really wanted to go, be armed, be in the thick of it, and get physical with officers, he could have complied immediately once they wanted to detain/arrest him.
But even if he really wanted to go, be armed, be in the thick of it, fight law enforcement, resist arrest, he didn't have to reach into his waistband after they knew he was armed.
That is an impressive number of bad decisions.

Yeah exactly. There are photos of him filming with his phone in his right hand, it’s obvious he’s still holding it during the scuffle. No reaching for his holster, no pulling out mags (what good would that even do him?) Any zoomed in stabilized 360p image of a blurry dark object in his right hand is the phone.
The fact that he had a phone in his right hand is irrelevant once things escalated and a gun was found in his right side waistband…and then as agents disengaged from him, Pretti’s right arm reached back to his right hip and we can see his head even tilt in the direction as if looking for where he thought his gun was and where the officer who shot may have also thought his gun still was.
