It's hard to watch, but importantly for our mental health: not graphic or gory.
I made a point of not watching the original/unedited videos, so I don't know if this is just how they were, or if NYT took steps to minimize the more traumatic aspects.

This is a very hard video to watch — but critically important to understand just how unnecessary the death of Alex Pretti actually was. None of the agents involved should ever work in law enforcement again — and at least two should face criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
Video: New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti
A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.

I am legit surprised at this. I was speculating even just a couple days ago that they'd cornered themselves off from any kind of offramp. Glad to learn I was wrong about that.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

They killed Good, and then they killed Pretti. I'd be feeling a bit anxious right now if I had a name like Kind, Just or Loyal.

Oh, so they're SECRET secret police. Like, literally.
Bovino: "All agents that were involved in that scene are working, not in Minneapolis but in other locations. That's for this safety. There's this thing called doxxing. We're going to keep those employees safe."

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is <my name>! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.
every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

Well this was timely... dropped today:
"On any given day, I would not be shocked to wake up to a story that overnight, there was an outbreak of gunfire, that... people are dead, that there was some kind of horrific incident in the streets."

The flip side to this is that anyone working to resist ICE does so now with the understanding that it may cost then their life. Those are the stakes, and they're heroes for accepting them.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
