Concur.

No, that does not mean he deserved to get shot

Appears to be a legit video. Utterly irrelevant to the decision of officers to use force the day he was killed.

True. But in a world where 'truth' can't be social nor believed, conspiracy theories abound. In reporting of the previous encounter between Pretti and ICE agents, there is notably the question of whether or not any of the agents were at both incidents. Prior behaviour may be irrelevant to the justification for the killing, but knowledge of previous encounter could be relevant to premeditation.

They beat him up, and drove away without detaining or arresting him. This is not the gotcha some (not here) are calling this, in fact it doesn't make ICE/DHS look any better.

Didn't pull his CCW out in this instance either.

That's a pretty good kick.

Or shoot him ten times in the back after disarming him.

If you’re gonna thump a dude, you better make the arrest. Seems they didn’t even ID him. Clearly he committed an offence that time. Sloppy police work.
