“Alex Pretti, foolishly, tried to be a decent human being”

Two thoughts on the guy killed in Minneapolis: 1) I don’t care whether he “deserved” to be shot based on his specific actions in the moment—debating this is a distraction. He intentionally inserted himself into a law enforcement conflict, and his allies intentionally created noise and chaos designed to disorient and distract. Accidents happen in such environments; law enforcement agents deserve extra margin. The mission is important, and what matters is that it proceed. 2) Leftists aren’t upset by his death. They see it as a political tool. If most were given the option to have him survive, they wouldn’t take it. They want a martyr.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences that come from those choices"
