Body language expert tells people pay very close attention to man in gray jacket after Alex Pretti shooting! – Story Of The Day!

“I don’t like any shooting,” Trump said. “But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest with a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines of bullets. That doesn’t play good either.”

The Department of Homeland Security echoed that position. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated that Pretti had been “brandishing” a weapon and had attacked officers during the operation, claiming he intended to inflict harm.

“This individual impeded law enforcement operations, attacked officers, had a weapon on him and dozens of rounds of ammunition,” Noem said on the day of the shooting. “He was coming in, brandishing.”

However, as video footage from multiple angles began circulating online, those claims came under increasing scrutiny. None of the publicly available recordings show Pretti holding a gun at any point during the confrontation. While it is undisputed that he was legally carrying a firearm in a belt holster, the footage consistently shows him holding only a phone as agents surrounded him, deployed pepper spray, and forced him to the ground.

Eyewitnesses at the scene have said Pretti appeared to be trying to assist a woman who had been knocked down during the chaos. Rather than acting aggressively, he appeared to be attempting to comply and de-escalate. The videos do not clearly show him reaching for his weapon or making any movement that would indicate an imminent threat at the moment lethal force was used.

The controversy deepened after an in-depth review by Dr. G Explains, a clinical and forensic psychologist who analyzes high-profile incidents through behavioral and body language interpretation. After examining the footage frame by frame, he concluded that key elements of the official narrative were inconsistent with what could be observed on screen.

In a video analysis posted online, Dr. G stated that the agents’ behavior appeared to escalate the situation rapidly rather than de-escalate it.

“This is not somebody trying to calm things down,” he said while narrating the footage. “This is someone actively escalating the situation very, very quickly.”
