This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to ‘take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure
Steve Bannon and Mike Johnson welcomed Trump's comments about taking control of elections. And a new Republican anti-voting bill could disenfranchise millions.

As is so often the case with this administration, it’s not the what, but the how. And then they pretend that critics are attacking the former rather than the latter. Don’t fall for it.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...
