Alex Pretti was murdered by United States Border Patrol.

Not to be confused with ICE, I gather, but as I've mentioned before,

the uniform policy of these thugs is mailable so fuck knows who they are.

A grey overcoat is now an option it would appear.

I can imagine Trump banning non-favourable angles leaving any

future legal proceedings limited to the, Fox-friendly, video

taken from across the street and between two cars.

I grabbed this commentary piece which has a decent analysis.

Nothing new here but it's a small DL which covers all the salient points.

Key Claims from the DHS Statement

Armed Confrontation:

DHS claimed Pretti approached U.S. Border Patrol agents

while armed with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun

and two magazines of ammunition.

Violent Resistance:

The agency stated that agents attempted to disarm Pretti,

but he "violently resisted," leading an agent to fire "defensive shots"

in fear for their life and the safety of others.

Intent to Harm:

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino characterized the situation

as one where "an individual wanted to do maximum damage

and massacre law enforcement".

Lack of Identification:

DHS noted that Pretti did not have any identification on his person

at the time of the incident.

 

Response from DHS Officials

Secretary Kristi Noem: Defended the agents' actions,

stating they followed protocols and responded to an individual

who "assaulted our officers" to impede a lawful operation.

She added, "I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up

with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign".
