Most of us, I would imagine, have seen the video.

What do we know about why Alex Preddy was shot?

Well, he appears to have been recording federal agents with his phone, like has become common.

Everybody's doing it.

And then he seems to try to intervene after a woman was pushed down by a federal agent.

And then he gets into this scuffle with probably a half dozen federal agents.

He is a law-abiding concealed carry permit holder who was armed.

And in this scuffle, they disarm him.

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.

The Constitution still!

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said Preti was part of a riot.

He was obstructing law enforcement.

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.

What does the evidence show?

There's no evidence of that.

There's also been a kind of false impression that we're talking about protests.

And

I mean, it's not exactly wrong, but these people are actually what they prefer to be called as observers.
