There is no possible universe where Pretti's killing was a "good shoot",
Pretti got himself killed. His was a good shoot; Pretti made such the only possible outcome. Everyone needs to move on from that.
The story that he had pulled a gun, and was about to shoot ICE agents before being killed is not possible.
The clear video showing that he reached for his gun (that he didn't know was no longer there) closes out this story and files it under "Suicide by Cop." Now details are emerging that he was unhappy and quite possibly could have been seeking to end his life, corroborating the suicide angle.
Clearly he did not have a gun when killed,
Irrelevant. Explained above.
and was not about to kill anyone.
He gave all armed law enforcement officers reason to believe he was on the cusp of trying to kill them.
There is no possible universe where this was self defense.
It was self defense. Was Pretti in the process of violently resisting arrest? Yes? Say no more.
It could still be [correctly perceived] as self defense.
FTFY.
And there lies the problem.
There is no problem. The problem died when Pretti assumed room temperature.
They claimed he was a "domestic terrorist" who had pulled a gun on them
They did not claim this. You are dishonestly pretending to speak for them.
, even after they knew for sure that he had not.
They only knew for sure that he had not once he was dead. Prior to that, they and Pretti assumed Pretti's loaded gun was still in his waistband. Pretti then reached for it while violently resisting arrest, winning him the daily Darwin Award.
Has the S&P 500 reached well below 5,000 yet?
They destroyed the footage he took of the incident.
We have multiple clear angles; there are no outstanding questions, doubts or concerns.
And most important they lied, repeatedly.
Most importantly, you lie repeatedly. You haven't said anything truthful in this post.
So they have to convince a jury that while they have said a lot of lies about the incident, they are telling the truth about one part of it.
They don't have to convince anyone of anything. The video closes out this incident.
At first it seems kind of believable, that they mistook a cell phone for a gun...
At first it seems kind of believable, a leftist protester being so stupid as to bring a loaded weapon to a beligerent FAFO with law enforcement officers engaged in law enforcement activities ... and if that is all it had been, without Pretti violently resisting arrest and reaching for his loaded weapon, we might not have this case study in stupidity.
What I notice about leftists is that they will drone on and on and on about everything OTHER THAN what Pretti and Good did to get themselves killed.
@Walt, your whole schtick is dismissed.
But then you realize they were focused on that cell phone from the beginning.
Nope. They were focused on Pretti's irrational belligerence that might get one of them killed. That is on what they were focused.
They wanted to take that cell phone away from Pretti
Aaaaahhh, I was waiting for your omniscience fallacy; all leftists operate on one. Let's see if you are as omniscient as you claim. I want something right now. What is it?
That cell phone was the reason he was beating Pretti.
What was the reason Pretti was being belligerent with a loaded weapon? Would you jump ahead to that part?
