Three new videos have shown Alex Pretti had a confrontation with federal agents almost two weeks before he was shot and killed.On Wednesday (January 29), The News Movement shared video footage that appeared to show 37-year-old Pretti at a protest in Minneapolis on January 13.It is not clear what happened before the camera footage begins but it does show Pretti shouting in the street and eventually kicking a tail light of an agent’s unmarked vehicle.Federal immigration officers then exited the vehicle, apprehend Pretti and tackled him to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 30 seconds on the ground, Pretti then gets up and remains at the scene while the agents appear to vacate the area, driving away.At one point, it appears that the man in the footage has a gun holster on his hip and is seen wearing a similar outfit to what Pretti was wearing the day he was shot.Speaking to the Guardian, a family representative of Pretti\u2019s confirmed that it was him in the footage.A witness at the incident provided another video of the same incident and shared it with the Minnesota Star Tribune. Max Shapiro, the witness who filmed the interaction, told the newspaper: \u201cHe got slammed to the ground pretty hard.\u201dThis footage ends with Shapiro approaching Pretti and asking if he is ‘OK’, with Pretti responding, \u2018I\u2019m OK. Are we all OK? Are we all safe?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
