Minneapolis lit up again, and the facts matter more than the feelings.

Tonight on BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, we dig into the ICE shooting in Minneapolis with a simple rule: we stick to what we can confirm, we call out what we cannot, and we put the video where it belongs, front and center.

The Incident That Lit The Fuse

Federal agents shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue on Saturday morning, according to Minneapolis police and local reporting. DHS says agents fired after a confrontation in which Pretti allegedly approached Border Patrol officers while armed and resisted disarmament efforts. Local officials say he had a permit to carry and no criminal record.

That is the backbone. Everything else is noise until it earns the right to be called fact.

What We Know Right Now

Here is what reporting and official statements put on the board so far:

• The shooting happened near 26th and Nicollet around 9 a.m.
• DHS claims the subject had a 9mm handgun and two magazines and that agents fired “defensive shots.”
• Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara indicated the deceased appeared to be a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry and minimal prior contact with law enforcement.
• The state BCA says DHS personnel blocked access to the scene, even after a judge signed a search warrant.

The Video Evidence Is Not A Side Note

Video drives this story because it shows what press releases try to summarize in convenient terms.

Tonight, we break down what the available videos show, what they do not show, and where people jump the rails to fill gaps with narrative. Minneapolis police have pointed to the public video and the visible scuffle as a key piece of what investigators and the public are reacting to.

Who Is Advocating Violence?

This is where the story gets ugly fast.

Everyone screams “de escalation” right up until their side gets the microphone. Tonight we name names, quote receipts, and separate “hot rhetoric” from actual calls to harm people. If someone pushes violence or excuses it, we put it under the light.
