YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bystander videos captured from multiple angles show the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. Trump administration officials said Pretti intended to carry out a mass attack, but video evidence reviewed by The Washington Post shows a more complex sequence of events — raising questions about when agents became aware that he was armed and that his gun had been secured before the shooting. This video breaks down what the footage shows, frame by frame.
