Popular anger far beyond Minnesota was crystallised by the shootings of Good and Pretti — one a mother of three shot in the head as she turned her car away from federal agents; the other a nurse who cares for elderly veterans, shot on the ground after he tried to help bystanders being pepper-sprayed. Video later emerged showing Pretti previously shouting abuse and kicking an ICE agent’s car, but none of this can justify his killing. He was certainly not, as White House officials initially alleged, a “domestic terrorist”. Citizen footage exposed such comments as lies.
