The Truth About Alex Pretti Minnesota Shooting

About this video

Colion analyzes a fatal shooting involving a legally armed protester and federal agents in Minneapolis, criticizing both anti-gun political rhetoric (including from Trump) and what he argues appears to be negligent use of force by officers. He breaks down Minnesota carry laws, the timeline of the incident, and Fourth Amendment deadly force standards, maintaining that the individual’s Second Amendment rights did not disappear based on his politics or protest presence. Colion emphasizes judging the incident on legal standards rather than political tribalism, while expressing frustration that gun issues are being conflated with immigration debates.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that under Minnesota law, the individual was legally permitted to carry a firearm at a protest, and that simply possessing a gun does not make someone a criminal or indicate intent to commit violence
• Colion argues that Second Amendment rights apply to everyone regardless of political views, and warns against abandoning constitutional principles when the armed person disagrees with you politically
• Colion breaks down what he views as likely negligence in the shooting, explaining that under Fourth Amendment standards (Graham v. Connor), deadly force must be objectively reasonable second-by-second, and a disarmed, controlled firearm changes the legal justification for force
• Colion distinguishes between Trump’s anti-gun rhetoric (which he calls embarrassing) and Trump’s actual judicial appointments and policies, which Colion credits with significantly protecting Second Amendment rights in practice
