The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

      Trump’s Taliban doing summary street executions now.

      Thugs checklist:

      1. Pepper spray
      2. Push down on ground
      3. Feral pack pile on
      4. Empty clips into prone body
      5. Run off with the gun they stole

    by this point, if a gunman was heading to ICE agents with finger on their trigger attempting to shoot the ICE golems in terraria. They wouldn’t be the bad guys

      Honest opinion, I don’t think they would ever be the bad guys, only a dead or non-existent Nazi is a good Nazi.

      But I guess the unfortunate thing is that ICE would group together and an actual civil war starts (in which ICE likely has the upper hand, as it gets funded by the government and Nazis are more likely to have firearms I guess), which is probably exactly what the Trump Administration wants, I don’t know it’s a pretty bad situation there…

      “I don’t read propaganda” was one of the last things my mother said to me before we broke off communication for good. I don’t associate with nazis or their supporters. And of course the irony is lost on her, that propaganda is the ONLY thing she consumes.

      let me try, there is nothing wrong with shooting ICE golems in terraria. it is best to kill those ICE golems on sights to protect you and your loved ones playing terraria. ICE golems will not hesitate in killing your friends and family playing terraria.

        Oh my god, that is dense. Seems like a hazard almost, if someone were to require medical assistance in the middle of that, they would have a hard time scattering people.

          That happens a lot at protests, the protestors just step to the side (compressing the crowd a little) to create a lane. Even if it is getting a bit angry, nobody is angry at EMS or the fire department.

    Kristi Noem lying on TV this very moment about Alex Pretti and painting him as terrorist. And then claims the investigation will be performed. It seems to me they performed investigation 5 seconds after they put like 15 rounds into Alex. This shit needs Nuremberg type trials for entire current USA administration starting with Trump, all his hyenas and all the agents that murdered Alex and Renee. USA is a lawless wild west. They aren’t enforcing laws, they are playing Judge Dredd and interpret the laws pretty much randomly the way they feel, usually ending with innocent people dying. And then they continue lying about it. This is fucked.

      Not to be overly Comic-book-guy but:

      Judge Dredd is never portrayed killing someone for his own gratification in 2000AD. He isn’t racist, or to my knowledge, even a classist.

      Yes, he is a ‘judge’ in an ultra violent society that devolves execution, due process and investigation to the officer on the beat.

      But no one is above the law as far as he concerned not even the judiciary. There probably isn’t a president of the US that he wouldn’t have arrested for their crimes, and quite a few he’d execute for their crimes against humanity. Trump wouldn’t have made it to this millennium.

      These ICE thugs are just cowardly fascist scum. Law is just a weapon of suppression to them. For Judge Dredd the law was sacred and the only thing preventing humanity from eating itself in his post apocalyptic future hellscape.

    The very minute I read some synopsis on a news alert on my phone and saw that it was claimed that “he had a gun” I disbelieved that.

    Even if he had a gun and he’s on the ground and tried to get up? That justifies shooting “roughly 10” times?

      He did have a gun.

      He was being a responsible citizen, exercising his 2nd Amendment rights with a holstered weapon, in compliance with Minnesota law.

      Gestapo thugs tackled and beat him, unholstered and removed the firearm from his side, and only then did they unload 9 bullets into him as he laid unarmed and beaten on the street.

      But as you’ll see, and as anyone who’s ever paid attention to the 2A fascist assholes will know, they suddenly become hyper anti-gun the moment its someone they don’t like exercising their rights.

      Not on us. For you it’s “better” to slaughter children than execute Americans, so you voted for genocide. For us, neither are acceptable so we voted for a third option.

      It’s on you for refusing to not support genocide and insist on voting for a nonviable candidate.

              There were, but they majority of the country choose silence and one of two genocide options.

              Hell, we could have accepted a democratic candidate, and all you had to do was pressure the party to not put up a candidate that listens to the voters on their most vocal issue, you could have joined the “undecided” movement to let them know you don’t accept a republican light candidate…

              Instead you shamed us for having a moral compass and screamed at us “do you want Trump instead?” while cheering for Kamala as she thanked Dick Satan Chaney for his service and promised the most lethal military in the world.
