NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

Dear NRA card carrying Republicans,
I advise all of you to stay inside of your houses while they are still deemed safe zones, because Alex Pretti had his legal to carry firearm holstered as many of you do as well. He helped a bystander and was murdered for it. Your votes won't save your lives.

Trump and his outriders are intentionally trying to destroy even the idea of truth
Trational media strictures - reporting he said, she said; not reporting more ‘extreme’ claims by those not in power - plays right into this
It’s a playbook, and it’s already in U.K. (cf Farage’s Dulwich racism)

And yet the BBC omitted this detail from his parents overnight statement..
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs,”

Am not an American but that makes absolutely no difference today
She is absolutely right
Today really is the tipping point
I am rarely speechless but I am today
And I really hope people in UK here are watching
Because we can still get the off ramp & tell Farage that we don’t want this here

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Taken moments before his execution.
For what?
Exercising his first amendment right to observe and record along with his second amendment right to own a gun (which, BTW was tucked in his pocket and for which he had a license to conceal and carry in MN).

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
