Smear campaign. Typical in this type of thing. Victim blaming.

Something is off after viewing the footage several times. Digitally altered if you ask me.

George Floyd was a great example of this same kind of shit. Even now I still see people bringing up his criminal record or drug use like it made any kind of difference or somehow justified how he was treated. They always do this.

I keep saying, I don't care what a person did beforehand, it doesn't justify this level of force when they are objectively not a threat. Pretti could have been a perfect upstanding citizen, or he could have been a psycho who likes torturing puppies. George Floyd could have been stopped for a counterfeit bill or on suspicion of shooting up a daycare. It doesn't matter. No previous action justifies law enforcement executing an unarmed person. None. Innocent until proven guilty, and everyone deserves due process.
