Let me say at the top here that what happened to Alex Pretti was a horrific ending to a set of events that, at any time, ALEX PRETTI had within his power to avoid. A web of encrypted chats and databases show that protesters were mobilized at the scene in Minneapolis, Minnesota, before the death of Alex Pretti. In this clash, Alex Pretti had a gun in his rear waistband and still physically attacked the law enforcement vehicle as they left. On Tuesday, it was revealed Pretti had an altercation with federal officers that saw him break a rib before his killing. Alex Pretti was part of that rage network and clearly a willing, unhinged, hate-filled participant engaging in violent actions against officers.
