Ludicrous right?
exactly, their fear needed to be reasonable. It is not reasonable IMO for agents to first create the conflict by physically shoving citizens and pepper spraying them, tackling them to the ground, restraining them, and then claim that same citizen was the aggressor and a danger to them because of a weapon that was never drawn or raised.
It is in the BBC's coverage today, Ros Atkins at 12.40. But they are not giving it undue prominence, since, as you say, it does not justify or explain what happened to Alex Pretti.

Devin Stone made that very point in the video he put out the other day. There is ZERO reason that ICE needs to be armed. Just because they work under Federal authority doesn't mean that they need firearms. He equated it with the government arming every postman in the country - pointless and dangerous.
BBM, this is what concerns me. IMO Agents either shot a man who was no threat in a situation they for unknown reasons escalated due to poor training or knowledge of a lack of accountability OR they recognized him from the prior incident because he was in a database of "agitators" and he was executed purposefully.
JMO IF Homan is interested in securing public safety and removing threats from the community, he can start by removing the masked band of agents who apparently have woefully inadequate training and even less accountability who are on the federal payroll and currently occupying the state of MN. JSHoman pledges to stay in Minneapolis until 'problem gone'
Homan begins his update by saying he's been given talking points which he will read out, as he doesn't like reading speeches but doesn't want to miss anything.
He says he was called by the president on Monday and was asked to deploy. He's been on the ground for fewer than three full days.
Homan tells journalists he will stay until the "problem is gone" and they've already made a "lot of progress".
Focus is on removing 'threats from the community', says Trump's border tsar
Homan says his task is to "regain law and order" in the city and work to "remove threats from the community".
He says President Trump has promised the American people, including Minnesota residents, that he would make their communities safe.
Homan adds that he is focused on identifying and removing immigrants that "pose a public safety threat and a national security threat".
He has met with Governor Tim Walz and local businesses and law enforcement, he says, and will continue a dialogue with each of them.

Live: Tom Homan says Minnesota operation will be 'safer, by the book'
Tom Homan has been deployed after two people were shot dead by federal agents in the city in less than a month.
I agree with your opinion.
Armed officers should have training in what to do when they shoot someone.
Is the prior "incident" you are referring to the one <modsnip: Removed totally unnecessary snark about a victim > armed with a pistol spitting at officers and breaking the tail light on one of their vehicles?
Do we have a timeline of when 911 was called and by whom? I'm getting the ICE killings mixed up and have forgotten that detail.

fair enough. I don't agree with AP's behavior in the prior incident. damage to property and spitting are not peaceful behaviors. And yet whoever was dealing with him in that incident de escalated the situation and left him still alive.
My sympathy level for him hasn't changed at all, and I still wish it wouldn't have come to this.
Well said, one can still be a victim while willingly contributing to a situation that led to being victimized.
He chose to legally arm himself , then chose to confront and provoke officers- not a good course of action with any police or law enforcement agency.
not what I said, but if that is your opinion I will not debate you on it as your opinion is yours to have.
And, as has been established by quoting the actual legislation, not carrying ID or your carry permit does NOT render the carry itself unlawful, regardless of how many times certain people claim that it does.Not having ID while carrying is not a major crime anyway. It doesn't mean they can take your gun away nor imprison you. It's just a $25 fine. This issue is a red herring imo.
Fact-checking FBI Director Patel's claim that guns are barred at protests
After federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, FBI Director Kash Patel said people cannot bring loaded firearms to protests. Laws vary by state, but the law in Minnesota, and many other states, makes guns at protests legal.www.pbs.org
State law says not carrying a permit is a "petty misdemeanor" subject to a fine of up to $25. Such a violation "does not constitute a crime," state law says.
