It's also unclear what happened before this video and after but I have been told by the Department of Homeland Security that they are reviewing this video. The department of course part of the investigation into this past Saturday's deadly shooting. Now additional context of the video here it was filmed less than two miles from the scene of Pretty's deadly encounter and he is seen wearing similar attire to what he wore when he was fatally shot.
