Minneapolis Police Chief Says “People Have Had Enough” After Fatal Shooting By Federal Agents

 Minneapolis Police Chief Says “People Have Had Enough” After Fatal Shooting By Federal Agents

Washington — Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said on Sunday that “people have had enough” after this weekend’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man by federal agents.

Federal agents in Minneapolis shot and killed Alex Pretti , an ICU nurse, on Saturday morning. The shooting came as protests have continued in Minnesota’s largest city over a federal immigration enforcement surge. Earlier this month, Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, and a Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by ICE while allegedly trying to flee.

The Department of Homeland Security said agents were acting in self-defense while trying to disarm Pretti, while local officials have pushed back on the account.

O’Hara said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that it’s “deeply concerning the things that are being said.”

“This is an individual that was a city resident. It appears that he was present exercising his First Amendment rights to record law enforcement activity and also exercising his Second Amendment rights to lawfully be armed in a public space in the city,” O’Hara said. “So I think very obviously, there are serious questions that are being raised.”..

“This is the third shooting now in less than three weeks. The Minneapolis Police Department went the entire year last year, recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds and hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn’t shoot anyone. And now this is the second American citizen that’s been killed, it’s the third shooting within three weeks,” O’Hara said….

“This is not sustainable,” he said. “This police department has only 600 police officers. We are stretched incredibly thin. This is taking an enormous toll trying to manage all of this chaos on top of having to be the police department for a major city. It’s too much.”

Asked whether he is calling on ICE to leave Minneapolis, O’Hara said the problem isn’t that “enforcement is happening, it’s clearly the manner in which these things are happening.”

“These tactics are very obviously not safe, and it is generating a lot of outrage and fear in the community,” O’Hara said.
