It’s not “self defense” it’s a tactic.
It permits offensive action by police.

Federal immigration agents keep shooting at drivers. We tracked 15 cases since July.
After each shooting, federal agencies claimed the drivers tried to ram agents with their vehicles. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration."

Hi this is Rebecca, FFO EIC. I just want to say that if you are like me, it’s been really hard to write lately. The absolute horrific behavior of ICE goons is hard to watch yet I can’t look away. I’m journaling, I’m capturing quotes and emotions, I’m reading poetry.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Sorry, but being nice to 🧊 after they've outright murdered US citizens is what's gotten us to this point.

Alex Pretti was a US citizen, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital, and someone who had a license to carry a weapon
Or, if you listen to the Trump admin and their boosters, he was a "terrorist", "lunatic" "illegal alien" who was going to "massacre law enforcement."

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.

As I was researching police training, I came across a video of this well known police trainer Dave Grossman. He made a controversial video in 2021 where he talks about great sex after killing. I figured well, he’s gone away, but no- clearly he’s still out there training. I’m sickened by this.
Controversial ‘killology’ trainer Dave Grossman met with police in Jackson County
Grossman's law enforcement training methods face criticism from community members concerned about increased use of force, while officers defend the approach as preparation for dangerous situations.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"
And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”
And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.
If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
