So accusations that ICE is not wearing body cams to avoid responsible conduct are more BS.

And there is no reason to keep secrets. The man put himself in a potentially deadly situation, assaulted officers while resisting. The onus is on Petit.

This is good.
We need transparency in this.
Looks like a terrible mistake happened .
Own it and fix it

And yes, the dead guy was an idiot to confront law enforcement and to be carrying when he did it.
If the guy hadn’t been armed, he could be at work today telling
Of his Saturday adventure .

A Teenage girl stomps a Parking Meter Reader to death in Baltimore. 117 shot over a weekend in Chicago. A former NFL player was killed in a Homeless Camp in LA.

Why aren’t any of these deaths concerning? Why aren’t former Presidents and Congress commenting on these other deaths?

I’m sure that the only way Americans are going to be able to scare off the illegal alien knuckledraggers is for the MAGAS to start suing the government agencies feeding them and kicking the asses of all those female Dipstick Court skank losers.

If it weren’t for the governor and mayor inciting riots and dumping criminals onto the streets, this would never have happened.

And carrying a Sig P320 with a round chambered - mega stupid.

What do they call it in the airline industry- cascading failures?

Two poor decisions by Pretti (at least).

Mob of people yelling and blowing whistles adding to the confusion, fear and aggression. Mob incited by the mayor and governor.

Poor handling and/or Sig pistol failure/mods for negligent discharge.

Poor training/tactics by agents to restrain Pretti?

Pretti Good. RESISTING while carrying a firearm during attempted detainment by 5 or 6 federal agents is a recipe for SUICIDE BY COP.

Admin isn’t rounding up employers who hired and supported the illegals in mass. Kinda like going after the drug users without going after the suppliers. Entire ecosystem of fraud needs to be shut down.

I read this morning that it shows that the confiscated gun went off in the act of confiscation and that is what triggered the response of gunfire.

Pretti effectively committed suicide by injecting himself into a confrontation with armed law enforcement, while being armed himself.

I should probably be looking up your posts since you are in the ground zero state. You have a perspective of whats happening there and where its headed?

I’m sure the body cam footage will be made public. If the officers screwed up, well, that unfortunately happens. If the wonderful nurse had not decided to carry his Sig when he went out to obstruct and interfere with federal agents doing their jobs it wouldn’t have happened to him.

Truly the essence of FAFO.

These people get up one day thinking it’s their duty to go interfere with ICE, but none of them ever consider that it is inherently risky and could cost them their life.

I forgot another important factor, lack of assistance from local police in crowd control, sharing information and making arrests easier.
