    The agents involved in the Pretti shooting were part of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, an elite specialized force, McLaughlin said.

    “Elite” yeah ok.

    …which the public will surely never see.

    Nor do we need to because, you fucking idiots, your actions are recorded in detail from six angles (and counting)

    What can the show us that we haven’t seen from the multiple angles of videos? Pretti steps between a woman and an agent, gets sprayed with pepper spray, is wrestled to the ground by multiple agents, they seem to remove his legally carried gun and walk away, then they kill him. It’s not a single shot. It’s not a burst of shots. It’s one shot, a moment of silence, then many other shots to ensure death.
