New evidence has emerged that Alex Pretti was known to federal agents more than a week before he was gunned down, and a veteran columnist made a case that the government officers who killed him committed first-degree murder. Then he and his colleagues swarm Pretti, who vanishes below a flurry of punches and kicks while onlookers plead with his attackers. "Presumably, Pretti at least was incapacitated by the first volley, which means the second burst was meant to do what?" Everything that the ICE agents do in that video can arguably be interpreted as planned and purposeful." Shapiro’s recording begins seconds after Pretti kicks the vehicle, when he is seen flipping off the car full of federal agents.
