To the left, ICE beating the shit out of Pretti

To the right, in the grey jacket, an ICE thug is taking off with Pretti's revolver

He was not part of the original ICE group that tackled Pretti

He showed up afterwards, which means they called him to get the gun BEFORE they executed Pretti.

If you rank civility over justice at this point you are a collaborator
I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.

Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.

Name them, record them, and make it public.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Further, anyone defending Ice should live with the shame eternally.
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Lying bitch.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.
Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Audio from both is included

They are both slowed down to ~.5x, zoomed in, and have their colors enhanced

Now that I've done all the work to edit these I will say that at no point does it appear the man who was killed reached for a weapon

From my perspective, it looks like the agents discovered he had one and used that as justifcation to execute him

The only life in danger was his

Remember last week when there were people dismissing the idea they could do illegal things to mess with elections?

Days later the administration is using violence from federal agents in the streets as a tool to try and access voter data.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Cops lie.
I’m suspicious of that gun they say Alex Pretti was carrying. In the video one of the feds comes out of a huddle of officers, carrying what appears to be the gun. We don’t see him actually take it.

It could have been a “throw down” gun is what I’m saying. Wouldn’t be the first.

Masked ICE gestapo agents just murdered an ICU nurse after assaulting him, stealing the firearm he was lawfully carrying, spraying him with chemicals, then restraining him so they could shoot him point-blank.

And the federal government's response is to shield the killers and justify the killing.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.
