NEW: Alex Pretti interfered with ICE agents during earlier operation, broke his rib after being tackledhttps://thepostmillennial.com/new-alex-pretti-interfered-with-ice-agents-during-earlier-operation-broke-his-rib-after-being-tackled#google_vignetteIt has been revealed that anti-ICE agitator Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday, broke his rib one week before the fatal shooting.
Sources told CNN that Pretti suffered a broken rib around a week prior to being shot after a group of federal agents tackled him. The incident began when Pretti stopped his car after he observed ICE agents allegedly chasing a family on foot. The source said Pretti began shouting and blowing his whistle.
Pretti had allegedly told the source that five federal agents tackled him and leaned on his back, leaving him with a broken rib. Pretti was released at the scene.
Two obvious lying-by-omission gaps in what CNN "reported":
* The "family" was being
chased, so obviously Pretti did more than
stand around shouting and blowing a whistle. CNN doesn't point out that Pretti had, at the least, to be chasing the CBP officers, and probably more, since the CBP officers are not likely to waste time and energy tackling a mere shouter.
* Speaking of not wasting time and energy, why would an officer be pressing down on Pretti's torso? Was Pretti struggling and resisting detainment?
Speculating a bit, was Pretti still angry from this, leading to his foolish decision to attack CBP officers the day he was shot?
