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

They had him on the ground. Six agents pinned him down. They disarmed him. They removed his gun from its holster. And THEN they shot him. Ten times. To repeat. AFTER they pinned him to the ground, and AFTER they disarmed him, they shot him. Ten times.

They murdered him.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

The autopsy done by the Good family strongly suggests that the second or third shot that ICE agent Ross fired killed her; those two shots are the LEAST defensible as self-defense as Good was driving away from Ross, and deadly force would be least justified. And yet Trump/Vance protect him....
I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.
Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation
The results of an independent autopsy for Renee Good have been released as part of a law firm's civil investigation, two weeks after she was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

It’s hard being human sometimes, but then there are moments to remind you of your place in the universe when you can share in joy and wonder and humility. So thankful for this experience and my Cornish neighbours who shared pictures and texted me to come outside! #northernlights #bucketlistathomeb

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Denmark is in NATO. That alone makes the idea of “invading” Greenland absurd. We already have military access and can secure rare earths through agreements. An invasion would be unnecessary, expensive, and destroy U.S. credibility. With @katiecouric.bsky.social

As bad as the interview with Trump was, the most nauseating part of the show came at the end, when Tony patted himself on the back for his “newsmaking” interviews and told audiences he trusted them to “listen… and decide for yourself.” youtu.be/OyXExakWMZo?...

Americans don’t want the uniform military policing our streets. Over Christmas, the Supreme Court agreed.

And, as we are seeing in Minnesota right now, having unnecessary federal forces in our streets can cause things to spin out of control.
