This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.

They could stand on a Minneapolis street corner, dare ICE to attack them, and force a ceasefire.
Force a CEASEFIRE.

I think you have to remember that in a presidential system, there simply is no party leader. Clinton, Obama, and Biden are correct that if they spoke up, even their former voters might not listen. Think about it -- they have no power at all, nothing, just fading memories of different times

A lot of responses re organizers not wanting officials. Fair points. But this is not about elections, at least not right now. Political actors (past presidents, senators from anywhere, etc) can go stand with citizens and dare ICE to attack them. Force a ceasefire. Media coverage is a bonus.
Government agents committed a barbaric, extrajudicial killing on an American street in front of witnesses whom they also harmed.
WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS? Why aren’t they standing, physically, w/ the brave citizens of Minneapolis? Any city may be next. Leaders should lead. At least follow the brave.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.
