[quote]he video shows an officer shoving a person who is wearing a brown jacket, skirt, and black tights and carrying a water bottle. That person reaches out for Pretti and the two link up, embracing. Pretti, wearing a brown jacket and black hat, seems to be holding his phone up toward the officer.

The same officer shoves Pretti in his chest and the two, still embracing, fall back.

The video then shifts to a different part of the street and then comes back to the two individuals unlinking from each other. The video shifts focus again and then shows three officers surrounding Pretti.

Soon at least seven officers surround him. One is on Pretti's back and another who appears to have a canister in his hand strikes a blow to Pretti's chest. Several officers try to bring Pretti's arms behind his back as he appears to resist. As they pull Pretti's arms, his face is briefly visible on camera. The officer with the canister strikes Pretti near his head several times.

A shot rings out, but with officers surrounding the man, it's not clear from where the shot came. Multiple officers backed off of Pretti after the shot. More shots are heard. Officers back away and Pretti lies motionless on the street.

The officer who shot Pretti is an 8-year veteran of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal officials said.[/quote]

No, it's not about training, except possibly for the fact that ICE/CBP have probably never been trained AT ALL in interacting with the general civilian population.
