Watch: How Alex Pretti shooting led Trump to shift course in Minneapolis

The article discusses the events surrounding the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, and how it led to a shift in former President Donald Trump's approach to the city. The analysis examines the underlying tensions in Minneapolis, which had been simmering for years due to issues of racial inequality and police brutality. The shooting of Pretti, a Black man, further fueled these tensions and sparked protests across the city. Ros Atkins, the BBC's analysis editor, explores how the Trump administration initially took a hardline approach, threatening to send in the military to quell the protests. However, this stance was later modified, with Trump shifting towards a more conciliatory tone and calling for "law and order" rather than a violent crackdown. The article highlights the complex dynamics at play, with the Pretti shooting serving as a catalyst for a broader examination of the systemic challenges facing Minneapolis and the nation as a whole.
