27:50Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian are joined by civil rights attorney and excessive force expert Greg Kirakosian to discuss the killing of Alex Pretti—a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis while filming with his phone. The hosts don't mince words: this looks like murder. Greg walks through the legal framework courts use to evaluate police shootings and explains why every step of this encounter—from the pepper spray to the tackle to the ten rounds fired into a prone, disarmed man—constitutes excessive force. They examine the administration's immediate rush to label Pretti a "domestic terrorist," the stunning hypocrisy of Second Amendment advocates now claiming a holstered, legally carried firearm justifies execution, and why qualified immunity likely won't protect these agents. Brian and Shant also have a warning for the federal officers who think this administration has their backs: Trump won't be paying your legal bills when the civil judgments come due.
