Notwithstanding everything else, the fact that they fired six more shots standing ten feet away from Pretti after he was already shot in the back three times and lay motionless on the ground dying, should be cause in and of itself to arrest and charge these goons.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.
