You are a LIAR...
In the recent shooting of
Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, video evidence and witness accounts suggest a
conflict between the official DHS narrative and what actually happened.
What the Evidence Shows
- Disarmament Before Shots: Video analysis from news outlets like the Washington Post and The Guardian appears to show federal agents wrestling Pretti to the ground and removing a handgun from his waistband.
- The Shooting: Seconds after the gun was removed and moved away from the scuffle, an agent drew their weapon and fired several fatal shots while Pretti was still on the ground.
- DHS Account: The Department of Homeland Security claims Pretti "approached" them with a 9mm handgun and "violently resisted" disarmament, leading to "defensive shots."
- Local Response: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called the DHS account "nonsense" and "lies" after reviewing the footage, which shows Pretti holding a cellphone and intervening to help a woman before being tackled.

Video evidence from the
Alex Pretti shooting appears to confirm he was disarmed before being killed.
Video Evidence vs. DHS Claims
- Disarmed Before Shots: Analysis of multiple angles shows an agent reaching into the scuffle, removing a Sig P320 handgun from Pretti's waistband, and walking away. The fatal shots were fired roughly eight seconds after the gun was removed.
- Holding a Phone: Footage shows Pretti holding a cellphone in his right hand and nothing in his left immediately before being tackled.
- The Struggle: Pretti was on his knees being pepper-sprayed and beaten by approximately six agents when he was shot at least ten times at close range.
- Conflicting Stories: While the DHS claims Pretti "violently resisted" with a handgun, witness affidavits and local officials, including Governor Tim Walz, state the video shows him trying to help a woman who had been shoved by agents.
Investigation Status
- Evidence Protection: A federal judge has issued a restraining order to prevent the Trump administration from "destroying or altering" evidence.
- State Blocked: The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reported that federal agents blocked them from the crime scene, despite the state having a signed search warrant.
