"I've gotta tell you, I've watched that videotape for at least about let's say, a hundred times because I knew I was going to be coming on with you, Williams told Fox News anchor Jon Scott. And I wanted to speak as accurate as I canAnd I do believe that there needs to be a complete investigation. I was taken aback by the White House who initially put out what I defined as misrepresentation of what took place there when you look at the video."
"It was said that Mr. Pretti was banishing a weapon. Well, he was not brandishing the weapon. Yes, he did have a weapon. It was said by the White House that Mr. Pretti attacked those agents. No, he did not attack those agents. And one of the White House individuals called Mr. Pretti a domestic terroristthis man is dead, he has a family, and to go out and call him a domestic terrorist without giving any more information is just unacceptable! Williams continued."
"And then Jon, when I looked at the video, what you saw was an agent pushing a woman side, Mr. Pretti getting sprayed, them jumping on top of Mr Pretti. And this is something that our audience should see with their own eyes. You can see where one of the agents actually physically takes Mr. Pretti's gun. And that is before he shot. And then all of a sudden he's shot, there's a pause and there are more bullets that are shot in his direction."
Ted Williams, a former DC homicide detective and Fox News contributor, reviewed the Minneapolis ICE shooting video repeatedly and concluded the White House mischaracterized key actions. Williams said the White House claimed Alex Pretti brandished a weapon and attacked agents, assertions Williams disputes after viewing the footage. Williams described seeing an agent push a woman, Pretti being sprayed, officers jumping on Pretti, and an agent taking Pretti's gun before shots were fired, followed by additional rounds. Williams called the White House labeling Pretti a domestic terrorist unacceptable and urged a complete, transparent federal investigation.
