In this episode of Real Talk with Mohawk, we break down the Minneapolis shooting involving Border Patrol agents and Alex Preti.

As a 27-year law enforcement veteran and certified use-of-force instructor, Mohawk analyzes the incident using facts, video review, and established legal standards not emotion or politics.

This episode covers:

  • What actually happened before the shooting
  • The difference between a protest and interference with law enforcement
  • Why being armed while committing illegal acts matters legally
  • What “objective reasonableness” under Graham v. Connor really means
  • Why officers do not need to see a weapon to perceive a lethal threat
  • How split-second decisions are judged without 20/20 hindsight

Mohawk also addresses misinformation about federal agents, training standards, and the consequences of escalating police encounters in emotionally charged environments.

This is not about taking sides. It’s about understanding the law, use-of-force principles, and how quickly situations turn deadly when lines are crossed.
