1
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:02,102
When considering ICE enforcement

2
00:00:02,169 --> 00:00:04,137
in places like Minneapolis

3
00:00:04,204 --> 00:00:05,572
what is the intersection

4
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:06,940
between the First Amendment

5
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,176
freedom of speech and assembly

6
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:10,277
and the Second Amendment

7
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:11,678
the right to bear arms?

8
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:13,046
In the heat of a moment

9
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:15,449
like the chaos that we saw

10
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:17,451
in these protests

11
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:18,552
how difficult

12
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:20,754
is it for police agents

13
00:00:21,655 --> 00:00:22,556
federal agents

14
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:24,391
to know about

15
00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:26,860
that gun and that protester?

16
00:00:26,927 --> 00:00:28,762
So sometimes very difficult.

17
00:00:28,829 --> 00:00:30,597
The video evidence is

18
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:31,698
very, very strong

19
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:32,399
that in this case

20
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:34,334
the answer is really easy.

21
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:35,169
To break it down

22
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:35,969
the protesters were

23
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,137
not approaching the officers.

24
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:37,838
The officers

25
00:00:37,905 --> 00:00:38,772
approached the protesters.

26
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:39,673
They crossed the space

27
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:41,408
to get to them.

28
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:42,609
In the absence

29
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:43,977
of any interference

30
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:44,778
or challenge

31
00:00:44,845 --> 00:00:45,579
the officers

32
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:47,381
initiated pepper spraying

33
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:48,348
of the protesters

34
00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:49,416
and Pretti moved

35
00:00:49,483 --> 00:00:50,250
moved to interpose himself

36
00:00:50,317 --> 00:00:51,084
between an officer

37
00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:51,718
and a woman

38
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:53,020
being pepper sprayed.

39
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:54,321
He was then grabbed

40
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,622
and dragged to the ground

41
00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:57,057
at which point officers

42
00:00:57,124 --> 00:00:58,559
discovered his holstered weapon

43
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:00,460
removed it from him

44
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:02,229
and an officer walked away

45
00:01:02,296 --> 00:01:03,063
holding the weapon.

46
00:01:03,130 --> 00:01:04,798
All of this before

47
00:01:05,132 --> 00:01:06,233
shots were fired.

48
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:07,935
So you could have a case

49
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:08,535
where the facts

50
00:01:08,602 --> 00:01:09,436
are really complicated

51
00:01:09,503 --> 00:01:10,604
and you could have a case

52
00:01:10,671 --> 00:01:11,839
where the police judgment

53
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:13,207
is a close call

54
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:14,675
and has to be debated.

55
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:15,709
This is not one of them.

56
00:01:15,776 --> 00:01:17,044
The evidence

57
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:18,512
seems absolutely overwhelming

58
00:01:18,579 --> 00:01:20,113
that this was in

59
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:20,881
any other context

60
00:01:20,948 --> 00:01:23,083
this would be a murder.
