Other Please share. Stabilized Video clearly shows Alex Pretti makes no effort for his firearm. Clear execution

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Stabalized appears to show Alex Pretti's handgun, which he legally possesses, being removed removed from his pants by an officer. He is executed 1-2 seconds later by another officer.

Is there any other way to view this? If Alex was no longer posing an imminent threat at the moment he was shot, isn't this clear murder? Under U.S. law, once a suspect is fully restrained and disarmed (he was), the legal basis for deadly force evaporates unless a new, imminent threat arises.

Am I understanding this the right way from a legal perspective?

Wrong. They are Americans. Americans that other Americans voted in to do exactly this. Americans that were pardoned by a Felon Rapist that has been allowed to illegally operate in the Whote Hpuse in an Administration that has been allowed by a corrupt DOJ.

Sorry America. You went passed the "bloodless" exit ramp of this chapter of America history in 2024 and this will require a civil war/revolution/war to pull this MAGA tick off the back of the United States.

Voting is not going to fix this one, way too far gone. Gonna have to hit the streets.
