Yeah, did you? Any more substantive discourse you'd like to add to the conversation?

To be clear about the word "reasonable" in my comment, it's similar to the usage of the very same word in the phrase "beyond a reasonable doubt".

The agents involved in the shootings aren't claiming that:

- the driver telepathically communicated their ill intent

- they saw Pretti transform into a Satan spawn and knew they had to put him down

They claim (unsurprisingly, to protect themselves) that they feared for their life because either a car was driving at them or they thought Pretti had another firearm. These are reasonable fears, that a reasonable person has.

That doesn't mean the agents involved are without blame. In fact, especially in Pretti's case, they constructed a pretext to began engagement with him (given that he was simply exercising his 1st amendment right just prior).

But once in the situation, a reasonable person could have feared for their lives.
