And if you watch the video in very slow motion, you can see he's then shot after he's disarmed, despite the accounts of the federal officials that we heard almost immediately afterward.
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said Preti was part of a riot.
During this operation, an individual approached U.S.
Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted.
There's also been a kind of false impression that we're talking about protests.
I mean, it's not exactly wrong, but these people are actually what they prefer to be called as observers.
And so the idea that there was some sort of a riot going on is not true.
They are just alerting people to the presence of federal officials, which they're allowed to do.
They were recording and observing, which they're allowed to do.
It turns out that the person they were looking for, the State Department of Corrections put out a statement saying that apparently this guy was not the heinous criminal they were claiming.
Furthermore, Bovino actually seemed to walk back his contention yesterday when he gave a much softer line.
He said, we're going to wait and find out what happens with the investigation.
