Alex Pretti | Murder OR Justified Use Of Force

The Alex Pretti shooting! In this video, I break down exactly what happened to Alex Pretti using the law courts actually apply, including Graham v. Connor, federal use-of-force standards, and the “totality of the circumstances” test. We walk through the initial physical confrontations, the pepper spray, the takedown, the “gun” call, and the moment shots were fired — including what changes legally once a weapon is perceived, secured, or no longer a threat. This analysis separates criminal liability from civil liability and explains how one officer’s unlawful actions can contaminate everything that follows. Watch the footage, understand the law, and decide for yourself whether this shooting was justified.
