Tostrud concludes that the reason federal agents collapsed the perimeter around the Pretti shooting scene was not a procedural failure but a response to volatile protests that followed Pretti's death. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tostrud also agrees that federal agents appeared to mishandle Pretti's firearm but that this fact alone doesn't justify a continued restraining order and there wasn't enough information to decide what should be done about it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
