'What the F*ck Did You Do?!' Video Contradicts DHS Claims About Killing of Alex Pretti | Common Dreams
www.commondreams.org
Graphic video shows federal agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis, contradicting DHS claims. Was the victim really a threat? Why did Border Patrol Commander Bovino shut down the press conference?

The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

    Alex Pretti was murdered.

    Say it with me. This was no “shooting.”

    And it’s going to keep happening again and again.

    The very minute I read some synopsis on a news alert on my phone and saw that it was claimed that “he had a gun” I disbelieved that.

    Even if he had a gun and he’s on the ground and tried to get up? That justifies shooting “roughly 10” times?

      He did have a gun.

      He was being a responsible citizen, exercising his 2nd Amendment rights with a holstered weapon, in compliance with Minnesota law.

      Gestapo thugs tackled and beat him, unholstered and removed the firearm from his side, and only then did they unload 9 bullets into him as he laid unarmed and beaten on the street.

      But as you’ll see, and as anyone who’s ever paid attention to the 2A fascist assholes will know, they suddenly become hyper anti-gun the moment its someone they don’t like exercising their rights.

          The NRA exists solely for the profit of firearms manufacturers.

          This won’t hinder their sales,so the NRA won’t care.

    Kristi Noem lying on TV this very moment about Alex Pretti and painting him as terrorist. And then claims the investigation will be performed. It seems to me they performed investigation 5 seconds after they put like 15 rounds into Alex. This shit needs Nuremberg type trials for entire current USA administration starting with Trump, all his hyenas and all the agents that murdered Alex and Renee. USA is a lawless wild west. They aren’t enforcing laws, they are playing Judge Dredd and interpret the laws pretty much randomly the way they feel, usually ending with innocent people dying. And then they continue lying about it. This is fucked.

    People should do this ICE monitoring with swarms of FPV drones. That would really drive them crazy, plus you could stay a safe distance away.
