> On top of which they have matching ICE issued vest with inscriptions.

It's a fascist theme to have paramilitaries not wearing uniforms. See for example the mukhabarat in Syria. It makes them more intimidating, because they look undisciplined, and adds confusion to protestors as to whether they are dealing with someone who is part of the legal system. Why on earth would they not be issued with uniforms?

> Yes, accidents like this will happen when you shove law enforcement officers with a gun on you.

Pretti did not shove any "law enforcement officers". The first physical contact is a shove on Pretti by one of them.

BBC did a frame by frame analysis: the first shove happens at approx 1:00 in this video. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/l0057wmt/bbc-verify-an...

If you disagree, please provide a source.

The first time they seem to be aware that he has a firearm is when they disarm him, and the execution happens after that, so I don't see how that is relevant.

>they disarm him, and the execution happens after that,

You're leaving the part out where a gunshot is heard right before they "execute" him. The officers with their fingers on the trigger pointed at him during detainment, got scared of that gunshot and jumped on the trigger by accident. It's an unfortunate accident but not an execution. Read up the legal definition of execution. This is not it.

  • I have literally never met anyone as delusional as you on HN. Your comments are just on the absolute edge of sanity, and the only hope I have is that you are an actual russian troll trying to sow discontent and not an actual real human that holds these beliefs earnestly.

    It just leaves me wondering - how do you look yourself in the mirror each day? I guess it must be super easy if you just look at what happened there and think shooting a guy 11 times from close distance is an "accident".

    • >I have literally never met anyone as delusional as you on HN.

      Pot calling the kettle black.

      Yes, you are not the minority opinion, you are 100% correct and everyone disagreeing with you is a russian troll.
