Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.
In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. Hes then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

The agent appears to pepper-spray Pretti and pull him away from the other person as a group of several other officers approach and surround him.
They wrestle him to the ground and struggle with him for several seconds before he appears to try to get up. Roughly 10 gun shots ring out and Pretti falls to the ground.
What the fuck did you do? What the fuck did you do? yells the woman behind the camera repeatedly.
Cowards, said US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in response to the footage.
The video, said journalist Susan Glasser, shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.

OP
No need, you can't see anything if you don't watch the video and the video is clearly labeled as showing the killing.

as outraged as I am by this. They shrug and say "what can I do?"
THE LEVEL OF INDIFFERENCE IS FRIGHTENING!

they are rummaging through his pockets. They are probably taking money they find.
