CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

2) "Skyndsamt" innebär att handlingar ska lämnas ut utan onödiga dröjesmål.

När jag fick ut ett papper som statsministerns lobbymöte med Palantir dröjde svaret nio dagar.

Ambassaden bad om ursäkt för att de haft mycket att göra den veckan. Helt rimligt.

Vi kommer inom kort se namnändringar på skolor från koncernnamnet till gullifiering som Blomstermålaskolan, Selma Lagerlöfskolan och Gullebulleskolan som signalerar liten skola med begränsade admin resurser.
”Lättnaden” är ett intressant ordval eftersom transparensen i första hand handlar om de mest skyddsbehövande i samhället, nämligen skolbarn. Lättnad från att se till barns intresse främst.
"Det kommer kritik mot regeringens förslag om lättnader för mindre privata skolhuvudmän när offentlighetsprincipen införs för friskolor. Lättnaderna kommer gälla för omkring 70 procent av alla privata skolhuvudmän och 86 procent av förskoleägarna..."

if you read enough history you understand that the very best people, following their instincts, tend to make themselves targets in times like these.
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

🧵 Walkthrough of the timeline for the deadly shooting in Minneapolis yesterday. Several other sources, among them CNN, confirm that Alex Pretti was unarmed when the shooting commenced. As he was incapacitated on the ground from the first shots, several more shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Tack och lov har vi ännu en bred medieoffentlighet i Sverige. Det är svårare för makthavare att komma undan med lögner och faktaförvanskningar.

USA visar hur farligt det är med separata mediesfärer. Vi måste vårda de breda svenska medierna som har förtroende från väljare från vänster till höger.
Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

Looking at the video footage so far I think its questionable whether he was armed at the moment he was killed.
Even presuming this is true, possessing a gun is completely legal if he had the appropriate permit. They're not even claiming he pulled it or brandished it, just that he had one. That's no reason to execute someone.
