Federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis while he was restrained and unarmed, just weeks after an ICE agent killed Renée Good. Senior officials have denied what the videos plainly show and blocked meaningful investigation. It's time to speak up.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
