In a sane country, the DOJ response to a motion asking a judge to stop the government from destroying evidence after federal officers shot and killed a man in broad daylight would be, "Of course we wouldn't destroy evidence. We agree with this motion."
That . . . is not what happened.

Speaking of investment in cancer treatment…in just their first 7 months, this administration kicked more than 74K ppl out of active clinical trials, including cancer treatments, meaning if they were receiving treatment that may have been a cure it was just stopped and likely not available elsewhere:

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Thinking a lot right now about this crisis of trust. It’s a new world for Americans to not be able to trust what their government tells them.
Not to say that the government has never lied or misled the public before. Obviously it has.
But this is a new, Soviet-style level of lies and fabrication

We don’t even have to speculate. The bare facts are that you cannot and should not trust anything coming from ICE, CBP, DHS, or this administration in general.
They are not reliable. And they don’t have our interests at heart.

Yeah, I saw, and I don’t like to get conspiratorial, but I at this point would 100% believe that each ICE agent is issued a ghost gun as part of their standard kit to plant on victims if something like this happens.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

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.
