As officials disparage Pretti and Good, families of Black people killed by police have déjà vu

Federal officials called Minneapolis protesters extremists to justify law enforcement actions amid a civil rights probe into Alex Pretti's killing, while Renee Good's case remains uninvestigated.

  • The shooting deaths of white protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers followed a pattern familiar to Black Americans, where authorities initially disparaged the victims before contradictory evidence emerged.
  • Officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and President Donald Trump labeled Pretti and Good as far-left radicals intending harm, though a civil rights probe into Pretti's death was announced.
  • Black activists expressed frustration that outrage over Pretti and Good's cases often ignores similar dynamics when victims are Black, with authorities quickly defending officers' actions.
