Federal agents in Minneapolis shot and killed a 37-year-old man, Alex Pretti, following a confrontation where multiple agents wrestled him to the ground. Witness footage reveals that, while he appeared to be helping a protester, agents pepper-sprayed him before firing at least ten shots as he lay on the ground, raising serious concerns about the use of force and the training of federal law enforcement.
Key Takeaways
