Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

For any Democrat hesitant to go full on against ICE because they’re wary about ~the right way to talk about immigration~ (🙄) - what’s happening now isn’t about immigration. It’s a secret police force terrorizing & killing American citizens, trampling their 1A (& 2A!) rights.

People in the highest levels of our government have all spent the last 24 hours willfully and repeatedly slandering and defaming an American citizen whom they brutally murdered in broad daylight.

It's important to understand not just the shooting but what happened before it: the hyper-aggressive behavior of Agent 1, who chased and repeatedly pushed two women, then followed them when they walked over to stand with Pretti, and turned his rage on Pretti instead. Agent 1 was the instigator. 3/
