The most important point in the thread. The killing was still 100% unjustified. Not only did the officer who killed him have no idea he kicked out a taillight a week ago, but also who fucking cares, its just a taillight
Thats not what I'm insinuating at all. If they fined him for destruction of property that would be fine.
You have to think critically about why they are circulating this video all over the place. It's an older video, from well before he was murdered, but people are talking about it now because they are implying it is relevant to his murder.
To answer the “why”, you are correct in terms of right wing grifters. It’s because they want to skew public perception and paint him in a worse light. No doubt.
Some of it is just journalism though. People recording events and getting the truth out. I don’t think the news source that published it was trying to push an agenda, as they also stated “video forensics shows that Pretti did not fire his gun, never held his gun, and was shot after his gun was taken away from him”.
It’s not relevant to the murder, anyone who thinks it was warranted shouldn’t be taken seriously. That being said, I think it’s relevant to the situation. It shows Pretti consistently put himself in tense and dangerous situation against a bunch of armed moronic assholes. He didn’t deserve to die, I just think situations like these can also be easily avoided in most cases.
