This is good news.
But unless the Police thought he was wearing a suicide vest, they don't have much of an argument for shooting him.
Incorrect....
As I have stated, they didn't know if he had another weapon. Some officers might not even know the weapon was removed, only heard "GUN". He wasn't face down when the shooting occurred, he was on one knee reaching back to where the weapon was previously located..
Now LE aren't in a hivemind despite your desire that they are, they all didn't know he was disarmed, and his reaching back towards the location of his weapon (which was removed) concerned the officers. It was about this time the first shot rang out.
Being an officer in that position, someone assumed Pretti fired the first round (sight pause inbetween first shot and barrage), and the firing on him began.
As I stated if could be AD or ND, but the officers with all the noise (whistles etc) aren't sure.
The racist-------------------'s record speaks for itself.
