The confrontation between state officials and the Trump administration has reached the breaking point. The two sides have put forth two opposing narratives of what happened last week when ICE agents surrounded, pushed to the ground, disarmed and then executed Alex Pretti.
The video evidence is not ambiguous.
From the Times:
Brian O’Hara, the Minneapolis police chief, said on CBS that Pretti appeared to be “exercising his First Amendment rights to record law enforcement activity, and also exercising his Second Amendment rights to lawfully be armed in a public space in the city.” He described the city and his department as being at a breaking point. “People have had enough,” he said.
