David J Harris Jr.'s Post

Country's top expert in the law of self defense weighs in. The firearm matters—and the media is hiding it. At the Minneapolis Border Patrol shooting, the suspect was armed with a SIG Sauer P320 AXG Combat, a high-capacity 9mm pistol with a threaded barrel, extended 20–21 round magazine, and a SIG Romeo optic—a setup costing $1,500–$2,000. This was not a cheap carry gun.
Officers were in a physical struggle with an armed suspect when a gun was perceived and the word “gun” was shouted. Under settled self-defense law, officers are entitled to rely on fellow officers’ reasonable perceptions. They do not have to personally confirm the threat.
Once a firearm appears during active resistance, the legal standard is simple: reasonable perception of imminent deadly force. That standard was met here. Freeze-frame activism doesn’t override real-time dynamics, and the law does not require officers to wait to be shot. This was a tragic—but lawful—use of force.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Nice try, but Harris forgot one very important detail. Video footage shows that an agent disarmed Pretti before he was shot. That nullifies everything his "top expert" said. Gun rights advocate Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, analyzed the video and believes the shooting was unwarranted.
That's the trouble with Facebook. It's the very last place to look for the truth about controversial news events.
