Rand Paul calls on heads of Ice an CBP to come before his senate Homeland security panel.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he “saw no evidence” to back the claims of senior Trump administration officials that Alex Pretti was attempting to assault law enforcement officers and instead “saw a man that was retreating” when he was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis.
 
“I saw no evidence — I saw a man that was retreating. He went to the middle of the street, he didn’t even obstruct traffic, he let a car go through. As the agents advanced on him, he retreated to the side of the street. A woman is violently pushed to the ground and he turns to help her and that’s when he is grabbed from behind,” Paul told Scott Pelley on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

“I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,” Paul said, contradicting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he wanted to “inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement.”

reasonable. however that quoted article makes this statement:

“I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,” Paul said, contradicting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he wanted to “inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement.”

it says that 'contradicts'. no it does not. all three of those things can be true. although i haven't seen conclusive evidence of the last claim, but i suspect it is true. it can both be an unjustified bad shoot, and also something that he deserved and his actions indicate he was seeking out, can't it?

He interfered with law enforcement.

Pretti interfered with law enforcement.

If you are armed, and are interfering with law enforcement, then you may very well die.

Rand Paul quote:

Noem quote:

called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he wanted to “inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement"

No assault vs " inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement"

Its clear they were either watching an entirely different event, or one of them was just making stuff up to sound dramatic.

Trump has a way of bringing out the Sean Spicer in everyone that works for him.

Did he interfere with law enforcement?

Easy question.

Yes or no.
