- zahlman 9mo ago> The Pretti shooting has been ruled a homicide, by the way. I don't see anything in e.g. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/27/alex-pretti-dhs-cbp-report/88386166007/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/27/alex-p... to substantiate that; and as far as I can tell there have not yet been any other investigations, and thus no other opportunity for such a ruling.
- hypeatei 9mo agoA homicide isn't a "ruling" in court, it just describes the manner of death. We all saw several ICE agents shoot this man. It's a homicide.
- direwolf20 9mo ago"ruled a homicide" is a "ruling"
- zahlman 9mo agoI didn't say anything about court. When you say "ruled a homicide", that does not include people on the Internet thinking it was a homicide. It is a judicial term of art that applies only after a formal police investigation has come to such a conclusion. If you don't mean "ruled a homicide" then please don't say it.
- hypeatei 9mo ago> applies only after a formal police investigation Not true, the medical examiner will "rule" on this, not the police. I don't know if the Hennepin county examiner has said so, but we don't need to wait for that with the several angles of video available to us. We're in the court of public opinion, not law. If you disagree that it was a homicide, then say that. I don't understand the motivation to play lawyer here and obfuscate. We're not making arguments in court and there is ample evidence of what happened.
- nailer 9mo agoNo it hasn’t. Cite a link if you have one.
