Ken Bagchi, a retired undercover FBI agent, analyzed the Pretti shooting videos, stating that the footage shows Pretti lying face down on the ground with agents out of reach, making it hard to justify the continued shooting due to lack of "imminent threat of death or serious injury".
The Trump administration had initially labeled Pretti as a "domestic terrorist" and "would-be assassin", but the video evidence contradicts these claims, according to Bagchi, who emphasizes the importance of transparency and fact-based investigations.
Bagchi urges that "we should not fear information" and calls for agents to give statements under penalty of perjury, saying "I am swearing this to be true and this is what I saw happen", to ensure a proper investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti.
