Disarmed Before They Shot Him: Video Exposes DHS Lies in Alex Pretti Killing - Decoding The Rhetoric



Newly analyzed video evidence completely contradicts what the Department of Homeland Security claimed about the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Multiple independent investigations, including Bellingcat, The Washington Post, and local forensic analysts, all reached the same conclusion: Alex Pretti was disarmed before the first shot was fired. An agent removed his firearm, stepped away with it in hand, and less than one second later, a different agent opened fire. Most shots were fired after Pretti was already motionless on the ground.

DHS officials called Pretti a domestic terrorist and claimed agents acted in self-defense. The video evidence tells a very different story. A federal judge has now ordered the Trump administration to preserve all evidence related to the shooting, while state investigators say they were blocked from the scene despite having a warrant.

This video walks through the verified footage step by step, contrasts official statements with what the video actually shows, and explains why this case has become a flashpoint for accountability and use-of-force law.
