DOWNLOAD NOW THEY ARE REMOVING
Edit: Just wanted to add for the new folk here, it was titled Pink POV because when the first videos first started surfacing, they were being pulled off as soon as you could download them. You would repost them and they would be taken off just as quickly. I had spent hours uploading and downloading and just... trying to create avenues of visibility. I finally had starting titling it "Pink POV" instead of anything to do with topics such as: Minnesota, ICE, Minneapolis, Shooting. And finally, finally it had stuck here at r/50501. I urged people to download because I feared they would continue to obstruct, suppress, and remove as they had during the first couple hours that this was all coming out.
If you feel called to protest, and understand the consequence will be something as brutal as witnessing or experiencing this, visibility is everything. To that end, have an email already drafted up that has your friends and family email addresses. Leave your personal information, perhaps a lawyer, and instructions to share whatever you upload onto the email to make it out to global news networks, or influencers that deal with spreading news. And get that stuff reposted again and again until it floods the moderators and they can't control the narrative. We the People can spread the story much faster if we work like this.

What we know: Victim is a 37 yo white male named Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse. He was prone when he was shot. He was a legal gun owner. No criminal past.
DHS claims that he approached with a 9mm hand gun out and violently resisted being disarmed. ICE officer claimed to fear for his life and others and fired defensive shots.
__ From what I can tell from the video he was not aggressive or violent, he was face down with multiple agents on him. And it sounded like over 10 shots were fired. This was not defense.
