ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say - "The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident... Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents. "The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released," Noem told reporters on Jan. 7... U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News in an interview Sunday that Ross "has had several threats against his life," adding, "he's in a safe location. He's recovering from those injuries, and we're thankful that he's recovering.""
Weird. Left wingers keep telling us he wasn't hit by the car, despite all the video evidence
Bodycam shows struggle after suspect grabs NYPD officer's gun and shoots 2 cops - "A Brooklyn ex-con grabbed an NYPD officer’s gun and shot two cops when a routine domestic violence call erupted into a harrowing fight for survival, body camera footage released by police shows. The footage of the Jan. 16 encounter, caught on the officer’s body-worn cameras, shows the officers trying to take Melvin Butler into custody for misdemeanor assault before he resisted and started brawling with Police Officers Samuel Acevedo and Timothy Brennan on the floor of a Brownsville apartment on Bergen St. near Saratoga Ave. just after 3 p.m. Body-worn camera footage from the incident was released on the NYPD’s YouTube page Thursday afternoon. “He’s got my gun! He’s got my f—–g gun!” Brennan screams before Butler fires off three shots from the officer’s pistol as the cops try to pin his gun hand to the floor."
District of Columbia | U.S. Attorney’s Office Concludes Investigation Into Fatal Police Shooting of Justin Robinson | United States Department of Justice - "On September 1, 2024, at about 5:20 a.m., Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Officers received a radio run for a vehicle that had crashed into the side of the McDonald’s located at 2529 Marion Barry Avenue in Southeast D.C. MPD Officers and D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Service (DCFEMS) members responded to the scene and observed an unresponsive individual, later identified as Justin Robinson, sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Mr. Robinson had been sitting inside his car in the drive-thru of the McDonald’s, unresponsive, for around an hour before it moved forward and crashed into the building. When the MPD Officers arrived, they observed a firearm in plain view in Mr. Robinson’s lap. As the officers were devising a plan to remove the firearm from the vehicle, Mr. Robinson woke up, prompting multiple officers to scream at Mr. Robinson to put his hands up and not to touch the gun. As an MPD officer reached into the car and attempted to retrieve the gun from Mr. Robinson’s lap, a struggle ensued, during which Mr. Robinson refused to relinquish control of his own gun and grabbed the firearm of that MPD Officer. MPD officers instructed Mr. Robinson to take his hand off the gun. After this warning, as Mr. Robinson continued to struggle, two MPD officers discharged a total of 11 rounds from their service pistols at Mr. Robinson, striking him."

Left wingers claimed, for some reason, that the fact that multiple law enforcement agents were holding Pretti down was proof that he was a victim of police brutality, even before the shooting. Not to mention they always pretend that "unarmed" criminals should never be shot, because there is no chance they can grab law enforcement's gun and shoot them

Video shows physical clash between Alex Pretti and federal agents 11 days before he was fatally shot | CNN - "New video has emerged showing a physical clash between Alex Pretti and federal agents over a week before he was fatally shot by Customs and Border Protection agents. A representative for Pretti’s family confirmed to CNN that the man in a video posted Wednesday is Pretti."
Besides the cope that this is a fake AI video, another is that this proves that ICE killed him in a targeted revenge killing (nevermind that it was Border Patrol)
'Spitting, hitting car': New video shows Alex Pretti in scuffle with federal agents days before fatal shooting - "New videos of the Minneapolis protest that emerged on social media show a scuffle between Alex Pretti and federal immigration agents 11 days before his fatal death. The video, which was shot on January 13, showed Pretti spitting, shouting an expletive at the federal officers and struggling with them. His winter coat comes off when he is on the ground, and he either breaks free or the officers let him go... As the SUV begins to pull away, Pretti kicks the vehicle's taillight twice, shattering the red plastic casing on the second strike and leaving it hanging. In response, the rear door of the vehicle opens, and an immigration officer—equipped with a gas mask and helmet—steps out and begins to approach Pretti."
Of course left wingers were calling this "character assassination". So much for the truth having a liberal bias
Just a few days before this, left wingers were crowing that he was a saint and no one would be able to dig up any dirt on him. Of course, one cope is that spitting at federal agents is not wrong. The Other 98% was cheering this on, as were many followers
Even BBC Verify and Snopes say it's genuine

Alex Pretti was 'known' to feds, and had rib broken in anti-ICE protest a week before he was killed by Border Patrol - "Alex Pretti was known to the feds and suffered a broken rib in a violent confrontation with agents a week before Border Patrol officers killed him in Minneapolis, according to a report. Pretti, an ICU nurse, told a pal he saw ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and stopped his car during the earlier incident around a week before he was shot... He said he pulled over in his car and began shouting and blowing on a whistle, at which point he was tackled by five agents... Pretti claimed that one of the agents had left him with a broken rib after leaning on his back, the friend told CNN. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” the source said, adding that Pretti had been released by agents at the scene.
Who recovers from a broken rib in a week?
Seems like he really had a death wish

The fact that even when people can pore over videos and stills in minute detail and disagree on what happened demonstrates that in the moment, you can't blame law enforcement for shooting an armed assailant who resists arrest (as Graham v Connor 1989 reminds us), especially with all that damn whistling going on
Keywords: Alex Pretti tried to draw his gun, Alex Pretti tried to draw his weapon
Graham v. Connor | 490 U.S. 386 (1989) | Justia U.S. Supreme Court Center - "Our Fourth Amendment jurisprudence has long recognized that the right to make an arrest or investigatory stop necessarily carries with it the right to use some degree of physical coercion or threat thereof to effect it. See Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. at 392 U. S. 22-27. Because "[t]he test of reasonableness under the Fourth Amendment is not capable of precise definition or mechanical application," Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U. S. 520, 441 U. S. 559 (1979), however, its proper application requires careful attention to the facts and circumstances of each particular case, including the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight. See Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. at 471 U. S. 8-9 (the question is "whether the totality of the circumstances justifie[s] a particular sort of. . . seizure"). The "reasonableness" of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight. See Terry v. Ohio, supra, at 392 U. S. 20-22. The Fourth Amendment is not violated by an arrest based on probable cause, even though the wrong person is arrested, Hill v. California, 401 U. S. 797 (1971), nor by the mistaken execution of a valid search warrant on the wrong premises, Maryland v. Garrison, 480 U. S. 79 (1987). With respect to a claim of excessive force, the same standard of reasonableness at the moment applies: "Not every push or shove, even if it may later seem unnecessary in the peace of a judge's chambers," Johnson v. Glick, 481 F.2d at 1033, violates the Fourth Amendment. The calculus of reasonableness must embody allowance for the fact that police officers are often forced to make split-second judgments -- in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving -- about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation."
Clearly, this Supreme Court ruling means that law enforcement are not allowed to defend themselves, or they will be the gestapo carrying out executions, being judge, jury and executioner

18 U.S. Code § 111 - Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute - "Whoever— (1) forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section 1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties... shall, where the acts in violation of this section constitute only simple assault, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, and where such acts involve physical contact with the victim of that assault or the intent to commit another felony, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. Whoever, in the commission of any acts described in subsection (a), uses a deadly or dangerous weapon (including a weapon intended to cause death or danger but that fails to do so by reason of a defective component) or inflicts bodily injury, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both."

Wilfred Reilly on X - "He...died because he illegally intervened in an active arrest/confrontation situation, involving a federal agent and a radical activist from a group organized specifically to disrupt federal operations. Pretti himself was armed, with a semi-automatic handgun and two spare magazines. This was his third hyper-violent confrontation with the feds in a week. He was not even shot at this time, but later, when his gun likely discharged while being removed-from-scene. Tragic case, but this guy was not killed for 'being too good for this dark Age,' or what not. And, it is broadly interesting to think about why that second narrative is needed. Post-modern city kids who have rejected the saints of the past seem absolutely desperate for new ones."
