Episode notes
Footage Contradicts Federal Narrative
- Video analysis shows Alex Preddy held a phone, not a gun, during most of the interaction with agents.
- He was restrained and disarmed before agents fired multiple shots into his motionless body.
Rapid Escalation In Under A Minute
- The escalation from a street encounter to deadly force unfolded in about 40 seconds.
- Agents subdued Preddy, pulled a gun from his waist, and then shots were fired almost immediately.
Multiple Shots After Disarming
- After Preddy's gun was removed, agents fired ten shots in five seconds at his disarmed body.
- Many agents later appeared unaware the firearm had already been taken from him.
