Video of Alex Pretti’s previous confrontation with federal immigration agents shows that he had allowed himself to become consumed by a deranged political ideology that legitimizes street violence, which explains how he found himself in the lethal position he did in his last confrontation.

Newly released video from Jan. 13 in Minneapolis shows Pretti screaming and cursing at federal immigration agents while he stands in the middle of the street. He kicks a federal vehicle multiple times, kicking out a rear taillight. Pretti is thrown to the ground by agents, resisting the entire time, with his gun visible in his waistband.
