A doctor says DHS agents were counting bullet holes rather than assisting Alex as he died. Indeed, they were actively harming him further. We know initially they had only been concerned with finding his weapon

I think it’s weird that news agencies aren’t reporting that, on video, it appears an agent took a gun from (or near) Pretti’s person before he was shot and killed.

My worry is that many of us have lost our ability to see things for what they are.

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Literally all of this is a lie. We are about to find out who is state media, because they will be the ones to parrot a justification for state-sanctioned murder.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

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.

I don’t think we should be using words like “innocent” or “US citizen” or “bystander” or things like that because — what if someone was an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record? Would they deserve this? No one deserves to be executed on the street in cold blood.

I understand this argument. I also think that it’s worth pointing out that the administration is lying when it calls someone a violent criminal and underscoring that even citizens can be apparently executed on American streets in broad daylight.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

THIS is how Trump's DOJ is destroying our nation. Any FBI Agent who insists on doing his/her job honestly and according to the law is forced out. Eventually, only political hacks and thugs willing to violate their oath of office to do Trump's bidding will remain.

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.

As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core.

Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions.

That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.

Yes, there is always going to be a minority contingent of this country for whom the shootings will always be justified, but there is a vanishingly small audience for whom Miller's brand will still play. Everyone saw the video. No one will buy that it was an "assassination attempt."

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.
