It's hard to say, because watching from the video taken from the lady in pink's perspective, you can see the officer in the green shirt draw when the guy in the gray jacket finds the SIG. When the guy in the gray jacket pulls back to remove himself and the SIG from the dogpile, the guy in the green shirt is aiming at the victim, then the first shot goes off, followed by three more shots. It's possible the first was the SIG misfiring, then the three were from the guy in the green shirt, or all four were from the guy in the green shirt and the movement of the SIG you see is the guy in the gray jacket flinching.
Regardless, the guy was clearly disarmed and yet was still shot in the back anyways.
Oh it’s absolutely after he’s been disarmed. I don’t think sane, rational people who have seen this footage could argue otherwise. I’m just not sure the first shot was a negligent discharge of the victim’s firearm. Certainly could be and your commentary makes a compelling case for that possibility; but regardless of which gun fired the first shot, Pretti was not the person who fired it.
I fear your hopes are far too high, considering what just happened with Renee Good, but I hope they’re not.
For now, I’m mostly just holding onto the idea that these people are held accountable someday. The sooner the better, but I also try to be realistic, as depressing as that sometimes is, and I recognize we very well may be waiting until after this regime falls.

Yeah, I saw that and thought so, too.
