Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said authorities are reviewing all available video of federal agents' encounter with Alex Pretti as part of the investigation. Federal officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, have said Pretti approached agents with a handgun before he was shot " a claim that bystander footage and witnesses have challenged.

Not at all. Resisting/obstruction/impeding (if that was what even happened) almost never ends with lethal force, nor should it. If someone obstructs law enforcement carrying out their duties that is not a green light to open fire. Based upon the info we have SO FAR this does not appear to be a justified shooting. Once we have the complete story and it's deemed it was not a justified shooting I expect this agent to receive the Chauvin treatment.

Nearly every illegal shooting is framed as resisting, so there is that
Jeff has quickly moved into the obfuscation phase.
He can post "Once we have the complete story and it's deemed it was not a justified shooting I expect this agent to receive the Chauvin treatment." with a straight face as if the DHS investigating itself isnt a foregone conclusion.
