Still only 2 agents in your picture restraining him. The legs on the middle, belong to Pretti himself.
As the annotation in your 2nd picture says,, "appears to". When he does finally remove Pretti's gun, he quickly moves away with it. The fact that he's still there, means he hasn't yet got hold of it. So in my picture, Pretti still has the gun on him, because the agent is still there.
Even your pictures show that Pretti was resisting and wasn't fully restrained and wasn't lying down on the ground.
So what of the 5 things I said about my picture aren't true?
The first shot occurs as the other agent runs away with Pretti's gun. Because of reaction times, and the time it takes to physically move, the
trained autonomous actions were a result of the situation a fraction of a second before.
None of the agents were wildly brandishing their guns around looking for somebody to shoot, as so many seem to be implying.
It was only in that specific situation that a gun was drawn and fired. Whether an over-reaction or not, it was the
situation Pretti created, that led to the result.
Here's a picture of Pretti being pepper sprayed. He's NOT helping the other protestor at the time, as is claimed.

Comedian Chris Rock made a video 20 years ago about how best to behave in a law enforcement encounter. Pretti broke just about every applicable rule in that video, and not for the first time.
