After years and years of hearing Americans bragging about their intention to rise up with arms if their government ever becomes tyrannical... I must say I'm very disappointed.

3 bullets for a mom in a minivan. 10 bullets for disarmed ICU nurse. Yet they claim the murdered are terrorists, while the murderers are the victims. This is fascism.

An ICU nurse trying to help someone because that's who he is, was EXECUTED live on tv. The president applauded it. The vice president applauded it. The very next day, rhere were pictures of Alex at a party wearing drag: this was apparently enough to justify his cold blooded murder. Its not that its BECOME normal, its that one side is going out of it way to MAKE it normal.

From his apartment window, the doctor stated in a sworn affidavit about Pretti: “I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind. Suddenly an ICE agent shoved him to the ground … I saw at least four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man at least six or seven times.” The doctor ran outside. “I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn’t let me through … none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR.” Instead, “the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds.” Finally, the doctor was allowed to approach the body and found no pulse. His affidavit ends: “I worry that I or someone I love will be shot and killed for voicing their displeasure and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

He was shot 8 times after he had his gun taken away.

That is a fact verifiable by watching any of the video footage.

I'm sure the Trumpanzees will tell us how brave the ICEholes were, shooting an unarmed man 8 times, but I'd be interested to know how they can believe that might be self-defence. Can one of our Trumpanzees explain how shooting a protester multiple times after disarming him can be construed as self-defence?

@Rooinek,

The LEOs do not have a hive mind. Someone shouts gun and while one of the officers does remove Pretti's firearm (looks like it might be a Sig P320 known to UD), how are the other officers to know he is now unarmed. There is a gunshot as the officer with Pretti's gun is moving away which I think was an unintentional discharge (UD), although it could also have been one of the officers with their firearms drawn having an ND ( negligent discharge). That shot rings out and its tickets for Pretti.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. LEOs are trained to shoot till the threat is gone.

Those officers have families they want to go home to as well.

Tragic but avoidable.

Don't storm Capitol buildings.

Don't drive at LEO'S

Don't fight LEO'S while armed.

You live, you lear.

Spot on Xavi, but GRRR! from the mob...I wonder how they would perform permanently under the crosshairs...wtf was the guy thinking protesting law enforcement while armed and then getting uppity while being confronted...tragic but some next level Darwin at work there...don't fck around with people under extream duress.

PS, Pie is a p....

And then we read about the Agent who arrested someone who had an accent, trouble is the Agent had an accent as well.

It's all damn bloody sad.

Let's see what this supposed new footage apparently shows, where Pretti allegedly attacked an ICE vehicle 11 days prior to him being shot ... physically damaging the vehicle as it pulled up to him.

If that really did happen, and it was him, then maybe he was known by these ICE officers.

Obviously that does not condone what happened, but it could paint a totally different image of a relaxed minneapolis citizen who just happened to be there taking innocent photographs...

The clip I saw, if it was him, and it certainly looks like him..... showed an extremely aggressive individual who spat at the driver in the vehicle and then smashed out the rear light of the vehicle that the ICE agents were travelling in after, kicking it twice.....

Pretti also had a gun on him then, which at no point did he reach for.

As I said before numerous times, and so has Xavi and Db.... you don't start this type of shit with law enforcement without expecting repercussions, and if it indeed was Pretti, then I can imagine how or why these ICE officers would respond in the way that they did, especially after hearing a gunshot...... due to Pretti's previous display of violence towards all of them

Here is the clip

where Pretti allegedly attacked an ICE vehicle 11 days prior to him being shot ... physically damaging the vehicle as it pulled up to him.

Wanted to report about that. Now liberal ICE agents had a motivation to gun down that dude. A violent confrontation happened 11 days before and ICE liberal agents had a score to settle.

Of course, liberals can not consider that line of thinking... It is too much for them.
