Democracy Now!'s John Hamilton reports from the scene of Pretti's killing, where protesters clashed with federal agents. “We’ve seen everything from people that are unconscious, that have fainted, tear-gassed, bruised, bloody noses, can’t breathe,” said Melissa, a local resident. State Senator Omar Fateh responded to the killing with outrage: “He had a camera on his hand. He was tackled, he was pummeled, and he was executed.” Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
