They look like acts of anger, either from what happened a few days before (Renee Good) or what happened just before the edit of this video or both. Either way, it's even more damning for the ICE agents since it makes the latter encounter look like a premeditated revenge killing. Especially since he was not acting that way on the day he executed.

Idiot.

Mr. Pretti could be anyone of us who still believes in the 1st, 4th, 10th, and 2nd Amendments.
