30. That is the law. But the difference is the police don't get to decide that.

That is why we have courts. Right now, ICE is acting as judge, jury, and quite literally, executioner.

Put the two ICE agents who executed Pretti (still unnamed but on administrative leave) on trial. Let the jury decide if Pretti, who was subdued on the ground with his gun removed was a threat to the agents. I guarantee you that the jury will find that it was the agents who were threatening. But go ahead and defend ICE with your hypotheticals. I will continue to call for a trial to decide this.

While you are at it, tell us why you don't think ICE should identify the executioners.
