Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York. An optimist might call it a turning point this afternoon in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it didn't happen on its own because day by day, louder and louder. The people of Minneapolis and Minnesota and the American people at large are demanding accountability

from an administration seemingly hell-bent on avoiding it at all costs. Today, three days after

immigration officer shot and killed Alex Prettie, there is still no evidence, zero, to support

the claim that Preddy was there to do any harm or hurt anyone if he was ever a threat.

In fact, a comprehensive new frame-by-frame analysis conducted by the New York Times of the clearest available video

plainly illustrates what many people recognized from the beginning with their own eyes.

Federal officers using lethal force against a person, a target who didn't appear to pose any

threat. Watch. In around five seconds after fully turning his attention toward Preddy,

the agent draws his weapon and shoots. His arm visibly recoils at the first shot. The firearm has clearly been

removed from the scrum when the first shots are fired toward Preti at close range. The officer

who disarmed Prettie can be seen reacting to the sound of the first shot, looking back toward

the skirmish. The shooter was standing behind Prettie and not

under direct threat, contradicting statements from Homeland Security officials that he fired

defensive shots. He also has a vantage point to see the gun pulled from the scene, but it's

unclear if he did, and whether he thought a weapon was still on

Prattie. He then fires three more shots from behind Prattie, whose arms are down as he

appears to brace himself against the pavement. Despite what the things we can see with our own eyes, and that frame-by-frame analysis makes abundantly clear and lays bare, the Trump administration appears to be initiating what is called a, quote, use of force review.

It's happening inside its Customs and Border Protection Office instead of

opening a criminal investigation into the shooting. Now on top of that, two people familiar with

that decision tell MS Now, another DHS unit will look into whether Pready broke any laws.

Homeland Security Investigations Unit is part of ICE and normally focuses on tracking down

human trafficking suspects and narcotics rings and other threats to U.S. national security.
