ICE also straight up murdered Pretti. The video is there. They shot him 9 times while he was already on the ground.
Our untrained, fragile masculinity, COD wannabe douchebags playing solider why now are the most pathetic group of "men" in our country currently. Fuck ICE
I wasn’t sure where to post this but this is the best l could find on the film breakdown for Alex Pretti’s death. It’s definitely from a guy who is not a fan of ICE so you stage B TDSers, use caution.
This one looks ugly. Yeah, it sounds like he had a gun, he was licensed and it was holstered. It looks like he never reached for it though, and instead it was taken from his holster from an ICE agent just before the other ICE agent shot him in the back.
Presumably that’s 4 body cams on the guy since there were 4 ICE agents all over him, but for some reason l can’t seem to find any body cam footage online.
I would imagine ICE would be quick to show how justified this killing is since all of this is polarized and fucked up.

That's why I told cal to show me the video where he's flailing around a firearm. It doesn't exist. These TDS dipshits are just believing whatever DHS tells them.
The man was murdered. Shot 9(?) times.
If you're defending this you're a disgusting human

The guy was helping someone who got knocked down back up and got pepper sprayed for it. That in and of itself is fucked up. This shouldn’t be normal behavior from law enforcement.

It absolutely shouldn't. But these "law enforcement" "officers" are just untrained, fragile little cowboy wannabes. They're pathetic, tiny men.

I figure ICE is a mixed bag of individuals, l don’t want to categorically lump them all as assholes.
I figure part of the allure of law enforcement in general is you get to be a hero everyday. Like a fireman. Who didn’t want to be a fireman when they were young?
I kinda feel bad for ICE that they have to be assholes that no one wants around. They’re people too. That has to be a drain.

I appreciate your approach on this one, it's easier to debate or talk when we're just calling things out for what they are and nothing more.
I haven't seen enough to make any conclusion on this one just what other people are trying to narrate.
One thing I can say is it's another unfortunate situation that didn't have to happen. People need to stop interfering with law enforcement and those higher ups and the media need to stop instigating. I'll leave the person who pulled the trigger up to whoever is investigating this.
We all should agree, stay out of our federal agents way 100%. If you need to protest, go do it on the lawmakers front steps.

Firemen and ICE are very different. Opinion polls aren't in the tank for firemen. Fireman aren't running around in masks and unmarked cars kidnapping immigrants and beating them into submission.

Definitely unfortunate. I’ll disagree with you on one thing, l don’t think he was trying to interfere. Yes, he wanted to be in the thick of it, I agree there, but l think he was driven by documenting and helping.
Protesting is American AF. That’s the stuff we’re built on and the stuff that makes us special. The day will come and maybe has already come where something fires you up to do some protesting yourself.
I get that there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, but l didn’t see that in Pretti’s case.

It's dumbass to assume the guy was just innocent because he was a nurse.
You don't know your birdfeathers from your stupid beak. I have a CCW, and we are ALL TAUGHT that when pulled over, etc etc, by police, you let them know you have a ccw and where your gun is.

"Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti's death is genuine, the network's real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities."

"The encrypted Signal messages obtained by Fox News Digital in real time show that anti-ICE "rapid responders" were actively tracking, broadcasting and summoning "backup" around federal agents outside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue, where the shooting happened. Local "rapid responders" made at least 26 entries into a database called "MN ICE Plates" in the critical hours before and after the killing, documenting the license plate numbers and details of alleged ICE vehicles they claimed to see around Nicollet Avenue."

"Video of the scene shows that as Pretti stepped into the middle of Nicollet Avenue to direct traffic, fellow agitators could be heard blowing whistles to alert locals that ICE officers were around. Soon after, Pretti ended up in a street confrontation with CBP agents, across the street from Glam Doll Donuts outside a worn storefront marked "NEW AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT CENTER," a nonprofit focused on immigration entry programs for Somalis."

Some are also offshoots of the People’s Forum Inc., a nonprofit hub Singham has funded in New York City since 2017 as an "incubator" for socialist and communist groups.

Soon after, at 12:24 p.m., the Party for Socialism and Liberation – a political wing of the movement, working with shared leadership at the People’s Forum – published a quickly-made graphic, "CBP MURDERS ANOTHER IN MINNEAPOLIS," and the message, "EXPAND THE GENERAL STRIKE!"

At the protest, Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian political operative who has led virulently anti-Israel protests with socialist organizations after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel by Hamas terrorists, rallied the crowd at the 4 p.m. protest, yelling, "We will bring this country to a halt!"

ANTI-ICE AGITATOR ALLEGEDLY BITES OFF FEDERAL OFFICER'S FINGER DURING MINNEAPOLIS ATTACK
By early evening, the narrative had coalesced into a chorus of voices within the far-left propaganda apparatus, adopting charged historical language to brand federal officials as Nazi-like figures. At 4:12 p.m. ET, Calla Walsh, a controversial communist activist filmed this past summer in Iran shouting, "Death to America! Death to Israel!" shared a 32-second video showing barricades built with Republic Services dumpsters.
She wrote, "People of Minneapolis build barricades, trapping ICE Gestapo at the scene of their latest murder in broad daylight. Not far from where they killed Renee Good a couple weeks ago, not far from where George Floyd was killed in 2020."
By evening, CNN was reporting from the 4 p.m. protest in New York City but did not identify the ideological affiliations of the organizers, even as activists openly carried signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation, with the group’s full name printed across the bottom."
******************************
"
Another CNN segment from Minneapolis interviewed Chris Gray, describing him only as Pretti’s "next-door neighbor." Gray spoke about Pretti while delivering a well-scripted appeal for a general strike to dismantle the "Trump regime" and promote "non-violent resistance." The segment did not disclose that Gray is a member of Socialist Alternative, the U.S. affiliate of the International Socialist Alternative, a "global fighting organization of workers, young people, and all those oppressed by capitalism and imperialism," seeking to create a "socialist world."
Soon after, however, Socialist Alternative shared the interview proudly on Instagram, noting, "Chris Gray, Socialist Alternative member and next-door neighbor of Alex Pretti, speaks out."
By evening’s end, at 9:44 p.m. ET, Gloria La Riva, a co-founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who has described herself as "a communist," posted a message on X, using the inflammatory language now normalized: "Alex Pretti was murdered in cold blood, everyone knows that. 10 shots in his back. All of Trump's, Noem's, Bovino's lies cannot cover it up. The people's struggle will only grow!""

Gray spoke about Pretti while delivering a well-scripted appeal for a general strike to dismantle the "Trump regime" and promote "non-violent resistance." The segment did not disclose that Gray is a member of Socialist Alternative, the U.S. affiliate of the International Socialist Alternative, a "global fighting organization of workers, young people, and all those oppressed by capitalism and imperialism," seeking to create a "socialist world."
Soon after, however, Socialist Alternative shared the interview proudly on Instagram, noting, "Chris Gray, Socialist Alternative member and next-door neighbor of Alex Pretti, speaks out."
By evening’s end, at 9:44 p.m. ET, Gloria La Riva, a co-founder of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who has described herself as "a communist," posted a message on X, using the inflammatory language now normalized: "Alex Pretti was murdered in cold blood, everyone knows that. 10 shots in his back. All of Trump's, Noem's, Bovino's lies cannot cover it up. The people's struggle will only grow!""
