Yeah.
Uh, it wasn't good.
It remains not good, but to lay down the facts on January 24th, Alex pretty, a 37 year old ICU nurse at a Minneapolis VA hospital was shot and killed by ice agents in
the back, by the way, during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
Bystander videos make it pretty clear, and there's so many of them coming out.
And they show that Pretty himself was filming the federal agents as they made their way down the street on foot.
The situation escalated when an agent shoved a woman to the ground.
Pretty stepped in to assist her, putting his arm around her, at which point agents pepper spray and grab him and force him to the ground.
While Preddy was pinned to the ground by several agents, video pretty clearly shows the following.
We're going to show some of this, but not all of it for reasons that'll be obvious.
But Preddy was holding a cell phone in his right hand.
An agent finds and removes, that's an important part of this story, an agent finds and removes a handgun from Preddy's waistband, basically that it tucked in his back.
That agent then quickly turns around and walks off with the gun.
Very shortly after that, as Preti continues to struggle, which we will certainly talk about that part of it.
Agents fire at least 10 shots over roughly five seconds, killing Preddy right where he lay.
And if my read of the videos is accurate, the first shots go into his back, man.
It is horrific.
And with the ability to watch the video over and over in slow motion,
It seems like Pretty is not only shot after being disarmed, but as I said, shot in the back multiple times.
Needless to say, the narrative battle of what actually happened is raging.
