![Gun rights advocate analyzes video footage
Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and a gun-rights advocate, has seen four citizen videos of the shooting of Pretti and gave the Minnesota Star Tribune a moment-by-moment account of what he saw.
“We saw Mr. Pretti in the roadway, and then the … agents started moving toward him,” Doar began. “He started retreating at that point.”
An agent shoved a woman to the ground, “and while helping the woman off the ground, Mr. Pretti is pepper-sprayed and taken to the ground," he continued.
“At least a half-dozen agents closed in, and one agent appeared to be striking Mr. Pretti’s head or toward the upper part of his body.”
Doar said an agent in a gray jacket “moved in and placed his arm in the huddle [of bodies], and it looks like he retrieved a firearm from Mr. Pretti’s waist.”
Based on the videos, Doar summed up, “If Mr. Pretti was disarmed — absent any other evidence of any risk to an officer —I don’t see how deadly force would be justified.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ubn7b3nztdlmxecuzxvwe464/bafkreia6brqmuld77jnxxi2v5gjo4dzydris5qixucfxstmyhmmv55fd7a)
