New Footage of Alex Pretti Doesn't Alter Fatal Outcome, Alyssa Farah Griffin Claims
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a co-host on The View, clarified the circumstances surrounding Alex Pretti's fatal shooting during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis. In a recent episode, Griffin stated that the new footage showing Pretti's altercation with federal agents 11 days prior to his death doesn't change the fundamental facts of the case.
The footage shows Pretti being immobilized by law enforcement, which raises questions about the necessity of such force. However, Griffin emphasized that the altercation captured on video does not impact whether his death was unlawful or not. She pointed out that Pretti's actions in the newly surfaced videos are "not germane" to the discussion surrounding his fatal shooting.
Griffin expressed her personal disapproval of Pretti's behavior, condemning his decision to kick out a light on a law enforcement vehicle and spit at police officers. Nevertheless, she maintained that these actions do not alter the fact that Pretti was shot 10 times after his weapon was removed from him.
The View host also used this opportunity to highlight shifting public sentiment regarding the Trump administration's ICE crackdown. A recent Fox News poll showed that 59% of all voters believe ICE is being "too aggressive" in its deportation efforts, indicating a growing divide across the political spectrum.
Griffin observed that the Trump administration is beginning to take note of these sentiments. She reported on plans to pull ICE agents out of Minneapolis, citing this as evidence that public pressure is forcing the administration to reevaluate its policies.
The View host concluded by stating that if Americans do not believe in a standard for when federal agents use lethal force against citizens, they are unclear about where they stand as a nation.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... It's crazy how the new footage doesn't really change anything 
. Like, we already knew Alex Pretti got shot and killed by law enforcement, so what does it all mean in the grand scheme of things? 
I do think it's kinda wild that he was kicking out a light on a police vehicle and spitting at officers... that's just not cool 
. But at the same time, Griffin is right that his actions aren't relevant to whether or not his death was unlawful 
. And I'm low-key impressed by how public opinion is shifting on this whole ICE thing 
- 59% of voters think they're being too aggressive? That's a lot! Maybe this is the push we need for some real change 
. What do you guys think? Shouldn't there be a standard for when law enforcement uses lethal force against citizens? 
like she's so right that the new footage doesn't change anything but at the same time it's just so sad thinking about what happened to him 
I mean who kicks out a light on a cop car? 
that's not even the point tho which is that ICE is being way too aggressive and ppl are starting to speak up 
59% of voters think they're being too harsh, that's crazy! 
. Those new footages show Alex Pretti being taken down by law enforcement and it's hard not to wonder if more force was really necessary 
. But at the same time, she's right that it doesn't change the fact he was shot 10 times after his gun was taken away 
.
. That Fox News poll saying 59% of voters think ICE is being too aggressive? It's a major wake-up call for the Trump administration 
. Maybe they're starting to listen to the people and rethinking their policies 
. It's not that hard to figure out 
.
she's right, the new footage doesn't change what happened - it's not about whether law enforcement was justified or not in that moment, but about holding our leaders accountable for their actions 
i also love how she highlighted the shift in public opinion towards ICE being too aggressive 
we should all strive for a more compassionate society where we can disagree without resorting to hate 
Anyway, what really gets me is that people are still debating whether or not Alex Pretti's actions justified his death. Like, isn't it pretty clear that kicking out a light on a cop car and spitting at police officers aren't exactly heroic acts? 
I get where they're coming from, but at the same time, we can't just let our borders be open to anyone who wants in. There has to be some sort of balance.
but seriously Alyssa Farah Griffin is bringing up some valid points about public pressure and how it's forcing the Trump administration to reevaluate their policies
