What exactly transpired a week before Alex Preddy was shot in Minneapolis and died this past weekend?

Now, in this earlier incident, he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot and began shouting and blowing his whistle.

Pretty later told one of these sources that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back, appearing to leave him with a broken rib.

According to this source, and I'm quoting here, that source said, quote, that day he thought he was going to die.

Freddie was later given medication that is consistent with treating a broken rib, according to records reviewed by CNN.

Sources also say that he was known to federal law enforcement, though it's unclear whether it was this incident or another with federal agents that they knew him, they knew of him.

Am I understanding that correctly?

She raises her fist.

Oh, good morning, Vince.

How are you doing?

Yeah, that's, uh, that's the key to the whole thing is, uh, like recognizing like, um, as a special forces, uh, warrant officer, we're trained to, uh, conduct unconventional warfare.

So we, we recognize it for what it is and we can actually appreciate it for what it is.

So when I saw what cam Higney Higby put out there and all credit to cam going out there and putting himself, you know, out front like that, uh, the information he's providing just made the hair on the back of my neck go up simply because.

I recognize it for what it is.

I could really appreciate what they're doing, how they're running their operations over there in Minnesota, the communications, the level of networking, the responses, their ability to move around up there in Minnesota and be where they need to be when they need to be there.

So what you'll see is the average foot soldier out there and they'll be conducting operations against you.

But they are sponsored by somebody and they have senior leadership out there that is guiding them into certain areas and where they need to be and what they need to do to bring the best effect on the battlefield possible.

So whenever you run into an insurgent, it's because they are where they need to be when they need to be there.

Because there's usually a much smaller force, they've got to conserve everything and just apply pressure wherever it can produce the most effect.

Otherwise, they're just going to disappear.
