The story of Alex Pretti is a tragic reminder of how quickly things can spiral out of control. Just days before his untimely death, video footage surfaced showing the Minneapolis ICU nurse violently kicking the tail light of a federal agent’s SUV. At this point, one might expect law enforcement to intervene, but in a bewildering twist, they didn’t even detain him after the incident.

Pretti’s family is understandably reeling, questioning why he was let go despite the tense and dangerous altercation. Their attorney argues that his violent confrontation with agents a week prior could not possibly justify the shooting that ultimately took his life. With protests erupting across the state, this incident raises serious questions about accountability and the sometimes excessive force used by law enforcement. How many more stories like this need to come to light before real change happens?
