Border Patrol chief praises agents who killed Alex Pretti and offers surprising theory

Legal experts and civil rights advocates have noted that video evidence has become a central factor in shaping public perception of law enforcement incidents, often prompting demands for accountability even before investigations are completed.

The presence of multiple camera angles has intensified scrutiny, making it difficult for authorities to control the narrative.
