"Pretti was fatally shot by federal immigration agents on Saturday during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Multiple bystander videos seems to show that, although Pretti was in possession of a holstered and registered firearm, he did not appear to brandish it at officers. Minneapolis officials and Pretti's family say he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The incident followed the shooting death of Renee Good by an ICE agent in the same city just weeks before."
"The conservative argument that allows school shootings to continue has always basically boiled down to, We have to protect the Second Amendment,' the visibly upset producer says in the video. Every argument I've seen for why Alex Pretti's death was justified yesterday is like, Well he had a gun.' Shut the fk up! he continues in the video. This guy was being beaten to a pulp on the ground. He didn't draw his weapon. He had a weapon on him legally. And they still shot the fk out of him!"
