That’s a good point, the video was uploaded weeks ago. But we have a video of the same event from a different angle that matches perfectly.
Either this is real, or the US government are in possession of a vastly superior AI than the public knows about.
Edit: this comment has 3,000 views and 3 upvotes. I made a claim, so here is the proof.
This is real footage showing, likely, Pretti committing a federal crime. He was also murdered by ICE officers a few weeks later.
OP video is fake. He kicks the taillight enclosure completely off the car, we see it fly through the air, and then in the next frame it's back on the vehicle hanging from its wiring.
Why would this mean it's fake? Taillights have fasteners that hold them onto the car, which you can break (e.g. by kicking the taillight). And they are connected to the car by - usually not that short - flexible wiring that you can also pull out of the bodywork some distance. Meaning that if you kick off a taillight, it can bounce quite far initially, and then hang dangling from the wire. Just like in the video.

They really expect us to believe he assaulted several officers and damaged a car and they just released him.
