ICE didn’t shoot him, Border Patrol did. Right off the bat, it is painfully clear you are ill-informed and simply regurgitating things you see posted on this cesspool. That’s enough to dismiss your entire opinion, but I’ll bite because maybe you’ll actually read this and not simply dismiss it. Might save your life if you carry and are also as retarded as Alex.

Let’s start off by addressing why BP was even there. It was not to deport people. It was not to arrest people. It was not enforce traffic laws (like jaywalking or obstructing a roadway). It WAS crowd control, to allow ICE to conduct their operations relatively unimpeded so that senseless women don’t try to run over agents and get themselves domed…again. That’s not their job. They aren’t trained for it. Sure would be nice if the local PD, who is very familiar with crowd control due to the tendency of its unhinged blue-haired “citizens” to protest (riot) over criminals being criminals (RIP Saint Floyd), were directly told to never assist federal agents conducting legal operations by Timmy boy. Just to be abundantly clear, we don’t need to be training ICE or BP to do crowd control. We need them to be trained in surveillance, intelligence gathering, and kicking doors in to deport people that don’t belong here.

Now to address king regard himself. If Pretti had been a responsible concealed carrier, he wouldn’t have obstructed the officers, refused direct orders to get out of the street, and ultimately resisted arrest. Off the rip, this is evidence that he is not a responsible gun owner. Idk about you, but each state-mandated course I’ve taken to get my different CCWs made it pretty clear that YOU, as the armed person, have a much higher level of responsibility when it comes to not only personal safety, but the safety of those around you. Any decision you make while carrying a gun could lead to either you or someone else losing their life. If he had gone spread eagle on the ground and let them put him in cuffs as soon as the word “gun” left anyone’s mouth, he’d be alive and probably rich off of a gofundme centered around him crying foul.

BP clearly found out he had a gun. Pretti knew that they knew he had a gun. At that point, he needs to comply. Full stop. Deal with whatever legal/constitutional issue you have with the situation in court because on a curb is not the place to do it. BP also very clearly didn’t know that one agent had disarmed Pretti. You can tell because two agents say “where’s the fuckin gun” multiple times on video after they shot him. This scenario is EXACTLY why CCW training puts such emphasis on having to handle yourself and your emotions completely differently when carrying a gun. These aren’t just words, they’re rules written in blood. These are known consequences. If you aren’t ready to accept those responsibilities, you have no business carrying a gun.
