I guess straight up murder and lying is a tad too far for the Wall Street Journal and possibly Fox News. Nothing seems too far for Newsmax though so you right wing idiots can turn to them for your news now. The dam on this lie is breaking.
The right wing family (Murdoch) owned Wall Street Journal came out with an article claiming that the leaders of the Federal Government are lying about their claims. The WSJ felt so strongly that they outlined a frame by frame breakdown of the bystander video that it authenticated. Its a brutal takedown of the federal version of events and paints a clearly illegal killing.
Even Fox News' main story says: "Federal officials initially claimed Pretti approached agents with a 9 mm handgun and resisted disarmament. Bystander video and eyewitness accounts circulating online raised questions about that version of events and whether Pretti was threatening officers when he was shot."
Murdoch Owned WSJ Concludes: Videos Contradict Feds Account of Minneapolis
Federal agents claimed Alex Pretti, 37, forced their hand, alleging he “violently resisted” disarmament until the officers fired “defensive shots.”
Bystander footage appears to tell a different story. A frame-by-frame review by The Wall Street Journal shows a federal officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti. Less than a second later, an agent fires several rounds. Pretti died at the scene.
“Where is the gun?” agents shouted in the chaotic aftermath.
Pretti, an intensive-care nurse, had been on a Minneapolis street Saturday morning and was filming Border Patrol agents. Videos appear to show what happened next.
