This Photo Of Armed MAGA Protesters Is Going Viral In The Wake Of Alex Pretti’s Death

Whether Pretti had a gun on him at the time of the shooting appears to be a large talking point for conservatives, despite the fact that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed on Face the Nation that Alex had a legal permit to carry a gun. Likewise, O’Hara insisted that he didn’t see Pretti brandishing the weapon in any videos.

In fact, a CNN analysis found that, “At no point in any of the videos reviewed by CNN can Pretti be seen wielding a weapon. He is seen carrying a cellphone in one hand,” and officers appeared to disarm Pretti before agents shot him multiple times.
