I think you can replace 'narrative' with 'abject lies' as well
why not frame this as "Trump Administration narrative conflicts with video evidence"? Seems more accurate.
They disarmed and executed an innocent man because he cared about other people. There’s your headline, NBC.
ICE Death Squads roaming the streets of Minneapolis, attacking and killing citizens like a pack of wolves.
You don't need "appear to" with this gaggle of inveterate liars about every single ICE shooting.
“Appear to?”
No. They contradict the Trump Administration.
They’re lying. Quit being squeamish about the truth.
There is no "appear to". The witness videos absolutely contradict the Trump administrations pile of BS.
Keep pressing. Thank you. Now may be the final time real journalists have.
Translation: your government is LYING to you. Other news outlets are reporting this correctly. Do better NBC
Yeah, the rest of us knew they were lying right away, but go off I guess
It’s sad how scared the news media is of calling it like it is.
Trump and his Nazi goons murdered another American citizen.
Yeah, lose "appear to" or get a new editor.
This isn’t an appear.It isn’t inconclusive.It was sloppy,untrained Kyles in over their head,who either share this administration’s evil or don’t understand their own idiocy-cowardly shooting a citizen who was showing decency,empathy and passiveness.Clear as day.
Arrest & Charge.Start at the top
🥕🤢
Lose two words to in this post: “appear to.” It should just be: “Witness videos contradict Trump administration’s narrative of Alex Pretti’s killing.” You’re not taking sides or making judgments when you do so. Just acknowledging reality.
I was hardly the first with the same observation
They don’t “appear to contradict”, they “contradict.” Get it right NBC, do your journalistic duty and call the liars out!
“Appears” …
“Trump administration lies again”
There, fixed it for you
It was murder, a summary execution. Tell it like we all saw it with our own eyes.
Not just this murder, but everything they say contradicts the facts! They never tell the truth and their cult never cares to look at or hear facts. They just believe everything the liars spew out.
Change "videos appear to contradict" to "videos contradict".
Appear? It’s pretty darn obvious. He was executed.

And still you say appear.
Way to get on top of the story.
This is like answering the final Jeopardy question a day & a half later, after everyone already knows the answer, and claiming you're the only one who got it right. You think.
Can we start calling it what it is? A M-U-R-D-E-R. 🤬
You mean…this honest administration…lied?!(faints)
The agent that shot was looking directly at the other agent removing the gun from Alex’s holster 👇, so he knew there was no longer any threat before he fired.
These deaths, and injuries would not be happening if Trump would pull the agents out. But just like Jan 6 all he wants is to see his steroid pumped up jack booted thugs cause harm to good law abiding citizens. This administration needs to be impeached.
It doesn't appear to contradict. It contradicts. Period. But thank you for at least posting the video. Please being truth back to the news.
The witness video seems to show A FUCKING MURDER. That's the correct headline
Shot him in the back while he was kneeling with his hands down and swarmed by agents. Not just murder, but an execution.
The abolishment of ICE should be just the beginning. The criminal prosecution of everyone facilitating this nightmare on their fellow citizens should follow shortly after.
😢 Your federal gov't has and is openly lying to the American public while executing its own citizens. You are being drawn into a war against your own gov't by your gov't all in an attempt to control elections and end democracy so the uber wealthy can continue to play kings and control your life.
Why are you leaving any room to interpret anything else.
What do your eyes see NBC?
Report what you see.
No more both sides.
Get real.
I feel like a lot is about to happen in the USA. It seems like the country is going backward, and people are really angry. Things aren’t looking good for Trump I had a feeling this was coming
The Trump administration lied as always and tried to blame the victim. Pretti was murdered by terrorists sent by Trump. There is no "appear" about it.
There appears to be an issue with that headline.
everyone knows this administration lies and will make up narratives to suit their own image. That is no longer news.
Real Journalism for a change. It's nice to see. Too bad it took things to get to this point for people to stop bending the knee.
Has anyone seen the video from the woman wearing a pink jacket on the sidewalk, who seems to be recording on her phone?
Yes, saw it on Reddit, subreddit r/Minnesota. It's too wide angle and shakey in the crucial moments to be very useful.
