Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

There's a third video I just watched and it just confirms everything.
He died trying to help people being brutalized by agents.
His response to them shoving two women was to a) help the women and b) put himself between them and the agents WITH HIS HANDS UP.
At no point does he reach for his gun.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

What I told new colleagues last month. Reject the notion that cops don’t have time to think. Do not fall for that crap. That’s an excuse for repeat garbage behaviors. Make time to think. Slow down. Plan. React smartly. Determine WHAT IS THE POINT. Communicate. Or find a new job.
I told them to reject the notion cops don’t have time to think, that they simply must act. I say ‘if I tell you I’m gonna punch you in 90 seconds, you could go make a sandwich & still have time to figure out what to do.’ Well, you’ve got 90 seconds as you’re driving to the call..so use it wisely
