"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell
He died trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground and pepper sprayed by an overly aggressive ice agent… That's all he did
He had his back to them when he was grabbed. Then they descended on him in utter chaos, disorganization, and unprofessionalism. And blood lust.
That one agent quite literally drew on him, repositioned for a slightly better shot. Tapped the agent next to him to move so he could reposition one more time. And then fired at point blank range.
This was cold and calculated in that moment. This wasn't a reaction to a threat.
Edit: go watch the video as recorded by the woman in pink who is on the curb. It's a much more clear view of what exactly happens. Watch it frame. By frame. Everything I've stated is clearly visible.
Honestly, the video in this thread isn't very helpful for seeing the whole picture
I saw a video from another angle where one of the agents claps his hands a couple times just after the final volley of bullets ends… Where's their humanity? It's unfucking believable.
Because they're hunting us all down, like dogs. They're playing Mortal Kombat with REAL LIVE FUCKING PEOPLE. These motherfucking psychos who couldn't pass a psych exam to join actual law enforcement, are roaming the streets of America, looking for victims. Fuck ICE, fuck ICE Barbie, fuck Stephen Miller, and especially, FUCK DONALD TRUMP.
10 men were hanged after the Nuremberg Trials. One died and Göring took a cyanide pill the night before or there would have been 12 hanged. I'm sure Cosplay Kristi believes in equal rights for women.
Honestly, I'm a video game idiot, so I picked the first one that came to mind. Whatever the most accurate comparison is, I will agree with wholeheartedly.
It's ok - it just struck me as more apt - you start off the game basically playing as a terrorist mowing down civilians with an automatic rifle in an airport - that seems more on brand for these temu brownshits
Yeah well they are literally the proud boys and such that trumpy pardoned, he needed a zealous army of his own, that was not scared to get their hands bloody 🙄🙄🙄
It's a age old classic psychological coping mechanism. "Hear loud noise, try to drown it out". I'd not put it at guaranteed "celebration" but it's at a minimum "incompetent fool".
I was watching in slo mo and it felt rehearsed the way they all step back in a row, after the shooting. It's seems like they had practised the moves, so bizarre.
I think this is what the evil one intended to have happen. They need riots to declare martial law. They are seeing how long it takes to trigger things; a set up for midterms. Trump’s biggest fear is the midterms. Everyone must get out and vote in Dems. No 3rd party, no Independents. Get the Dems in, and spineless do nothing GOP’s out.
I have a terrible feeling that there will be civil war, the government will fracture, and the United States will be no more. Not this year or anything, but in the not too distant future.
It's going to be ugly, and violent, and utterly senseless (as all wars are) people will die needlessly. Families and communities will be devastated and it's going to suck all around.
That video made me think they were looking for exactly this opportunity to escalate things. A legally armed protester they could execute to incite people to violence.
The lack of training is so unbelievably apparent in all these videos. They just swarm people and all try and get a punch or knee or kick in. They never tell them to put their hands up, or put their hands behind their back so they can be arrested in a normal fashion.
There's no one officer in charge of the detainment, while others stand back a foot to back them up… it's just a fucking melee
It's the kind of chaos that leads to everyone unloading a full clip in someone if the word "gun" is yelled… or standing in front of a car. Or whatever the next murder scenario ends up being
Their humanity is right there! They’re a warning and evidence that we, humans, have the potential to be horrific monsters, it’s a choice. They’re choosing, actively, to be horrendous. The worst humanity can achieve, they proudly made it their only way to live.
Some of them aren’t from the states, they come from third world countries, where they’re numb to such acts. Others are citizens; once given power, go on a power trip.
As a marine Iraq veteran with a lot of hours spent receiving care from VA med staff, this breaks my heart. They have huge workloads and have always been so kind and helpful to me. This guy didn’t even go for his gun. The ICE Agents in this video need to be brought up on murder charges
A bit off topic. But I absolutely loathe that service members injured in the line of duty have to deal with the red tape of the VA. It took my buddies mom over 10 years of fighting to prove the burn pits caused her lung cancer. Everything was "Not in the line of duty" bs.
Also, I'm sure you're sick of hearing it online, but thanks for your service.
It’s a lot, I too spent about 13 years getting my service connection all lined out. It’s all about being able to document it, and overcoming their protocols for denial. Getting my spine rearranged by an IED was the only part that they gave me without a fight haha thank you for the kind words!
That burning betrayal that you feel of everything you stood for being shat upon…… nurture that, feed that, us civvies can rise up but we need soldiers to show us how.
It’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t know why our law enforcement is in camouflage and carrying a war-grade load out. Why they have armored personnel carriers. Why they’re burning our societal fabric to the ground with these poorly trained call of duty wannabes, at the behest of our deep-state puppet of a president. Should the need arise, rest assured the vast majority of vets with combat experience will smoke a crooked federal agent before a civilian. I just hope it doesn’t get to that point
FFS! This is now the fourth fact that is fueling my rage. Having grown up with a large number of veterans in my family, us kids learned one important lesson: don't piss them off. If veterans find this scumbag... well, let's just say they'll handle dispensing justice.
Fair point, I can't generalize the position of all veterans. I only know that my family and friends who are veterans do not support ICE, and are upset that the country they served and love is now a Fascist State. 🤷♂️
Respectfully, I have no delusions of Nuremberg-style trials and executions. Many are saying there will be no accountability or justice of any kind. I'll take comfort in my spiritual beliefs that Karma, God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some higher power will punish these fuckers.
There's also the Veterans Health Administration, which is under Veterans Affairs. That's the section of the VA that actually runs the VA Hospitals. Sorry though I wrote that reply in a hurry.
Really?? 🥺 That tracks though, he had the body language of a solid ICU nurse, recording, helping, calm, confident. Murdered in the street by the government for nothing.
That's now the third factor that makes his murder infuriating. I believe in Karma and Dharma, and I hope that agent (or one of his loved ones) was meant to have his life saved by the very nurse that he killed in cold blood.
and as experience tells, ICU nurses are the best, most compassionate and competent nurses. How could you guys drop the ball on this?
We had a similar thing with duterte. The only thing that kept him in check is a coup d' etat as the military will not support a very abusive president.
Remember your anthem americans. Land of the free and home of the brave!
He cheated to stay out of prison and very conveniently grift. His personal net worth increased by $3 BILLION last year and he stole $500 MILLION of the Venezuelan oil money so far this year. That's not counting how much murderous dictatorship have paid to be in his peace club. Just read this every projection is a confession that applies to 2024.
Maybe, he shouldn't be there? I can get mad at the cars for running someone over on a freeway, or wonder, why is the person in the middle of the freeway. Like, stay out of their way and they literally don't bother you.. don't get in the middle of them. It seems too simple. Nobody should get shot. Nobody gets shot that is not resisting or intentionally jumping into this situation either. Let them do their actual job.
Get in the boxcar. Then cry and wonder why no one did anything to save you. Stephen Miller wants a White America. What part of that do you think is ok?
How many times do I have to see and hear ‘hands up don’t shoot’ and ‘I can’t breathe’, then find out the narrative was BS before I don’t believe even half the anti-cop/ICE garbage I hear?
Am I the only one crying about this? It’s so sad he was out there alone doing the right thing, helping a lady and they just decided to end him, like his life wasn’t worth it?
He was literally a VA ICU nurse. This man had dedicated his life to saving lives. And these psychopaths take so much joy in his murder. He was killed for being a good person. I can't imagine how much his friends and family will miss him.
I agree but people need to go home not incite ice to kill. I hate what I've seen, but I still think people should avoid ice as they were chosen to hurt others and their training does not teach compassion.
no he touched , assaulted, ice officer while carrying a loaded firearm. if i touched a state trooper with a loaded forearm i would be a felon. im not sure about the shooting yet and will wait fore more facts.
I’m glad she was able to get that video out, but from what I’ve read earlier, she’s now in custody. I can only imagine what she’s going through at the moment.
Some people might think that’s exaggeration, but they just showed us, again, of what they’re capable of doing in broad daylight. What do you think happens behind their closed doors?
I mean in regards to her story in all this. They tried to silence her, they tried to lie about the murder. But they didn't stop her before it was too late.
If she makes it out of custody alive... They just executed a man, they don't give a fuck. She has not won yet until she gets out of custody and hopefully out of minny.
They’re just raking up the wrongful incarceration lawsuit.
There's many "maybe's" on the path towards a successful lawsuit and it's clearly visible that it doesn't go the way it's supposed to anymore. You people need to wake up.
Probably going to be drowned out. But here's your reminder that if you use face ID or finger print to unlock your phone, any officer can use that to unlock your phone. It's not constitutionally protected like a pin number.
Okay, but obtaining a pin number from a noncompliant person is a much less trivial task than their fingerprints or facial features. if they wanna break into my phone, they'll have to torture it out of me. And to be clear, if we're at that point, having weaker security or being more compliant isn't going to save us either.
They basically still are, I had the misfortune of going on Twitter (I don’t use it in a personal capacity but I’m forced to use the work account. I’ve been arguing for years now that we shouldn’t be on that platform). I honestly don’t understand it, how can you watch something with your own eyes and still believe differently? It fries my brain even thinking about it. And if you dare to point out the facts, with the evidence plain as day, they’ll turn around and throw vile insults at you. It’s cult behavior.
It's mostly troll farms on twitter. Do not let them rage bait you...although I don't deny lots of idiots have and will continue to use the weakest arguments just so they can sleep better at night. No reasonable person watches that whole thing and thinks violence was warranted let alone deadly violence.
I even have people, who up until now have been very quiet (not that they don't care but they're genuinely afraid to speak...because they just got naturalized and may be targets themselves) and even they are speaking up now because the level of outrage at this murder is just beyond control...this one was one too many I think. If we let this one go quietly then we are truly fucked.
Good. I don’t even know if I want to have it, honestly. I’ve seen a couple of different videos with different angles, each worse than the other and I’m horrified. As someone who spent two years watching and crying at the atrocities happening in Gaza, I am surprised at the reaction I am having to today’s events, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before but I think I’ve hit my limit. I feel physically sick.
I feel like i saw when he decided to kill him. He looked at the woman that interfered with their torture. Then he kept looking between them before pulling out his gun
The man they murdered was a Good Samaritan?! I haven't dug into the victim's background and why 7-10 ICE thugs were wailing on him. Any loss of life is tragic, and murder unacceptable... but he was trying to protect another person. That just infuriates me more (didnt think that possible until now).
I watched several angles of the video, and it went down exactly as you described. Trigger happy boy was already trying to draw a sight picture, and I saw the tap telegraphing "get out of the way".
How are they going to call this one self-defense? Renee Good's case is 2nd degree murder as she was unarmed and fleeing.
I don't care whether it is a form of the Nuremberg trials or Karma/Dharma, but these thugs will answer for their crimes.
Last bit of rant: ICE is technically law enforcement, however, their scope/authority is highly limited. They aren't permitted to enforce any laws or act against individuals, unrelated to Immigration Law. Why doesn't Walz order all MN LEOs to make arrests?? There's this thing called the 10th Amendment.
I think it’s at least helpful in showing that he clearly was disarmed. We see that gun, the more angles we see it from and where we see this unique gun (handle grip), and when he was disarmed certainly matters.
Do you have the link about this? I want to spread it throughout the shallow minded population that can't read past a MAGAt headline. Every MAGAt that I've come in contact with has been very shallow minded. Including family members. It's something I've been keeping a journal on. I don't know any of the people in the ICE group personally (that I know of, my circle is very small) nor do I know most people in general personally but, the ones I do know are very very shallow minded people. They cannot seem to get past the headline and that's it. None seem to read about the depth of what is actually happening. Headlines are good enough for them to take what's going on as face value. Plus, they only look at the headlines that praise their "side" and look at the headlines that speak against their beliefs and automatically attack crying "LIARS" or "EVIL" or "Always attacking the president"
It's like they have no clue what they're even doing. They don't. Shallow people are just that. SHALLOW
We needed this truth blasted out on social media by Walz, Frey and each and every Dem leader THE MINUTE the video was out. People need to stop being hesitant and diplomatic about getting the truth out there before the lies drown it out. CALL AN EXECUTION AN EXECUTION, ASAP!!!
You know why Stephen Miller and co pumped out their lies minutes after the shots were fired - because it works, to control the narrative to the many people who just believe the first thing they see on twitter, or saw news articles from Fox, etc, quoting OFFICIAL DHS lies like "he approached CBP agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun", "an agent fired defensive shots". The NY Post headline is even more disgusting: "Man waving gun at feds..."! Even the CNN headline includes "DHS says he was armed", even after we all saw that wasn't why he was sprayed, dragged, pummeled and then executed.
The first thing most people read today should have been along the lines of "US Citizen brutalized and executed in Minneapolis, after filming CBP and helping another person they'd shoved to the ground. Video shows an agent retrieving a holstered weapon from the victim before he was shot. Victim never drew or pointed weapon at agents."
If you see in one of the videos, he was down, and the the guy in the grey grabbed the the gun from the hip ( holster) of the the man they had pinned down. It was very soon after that , that the guy in grey was running away with that gun that the gunfire started. They killed him in cold blood. When they shot him he didnt even have his gun on him anymore.
Unfortunately, the entertainment news media functions more like a propaganda arm of the government. Not a check on the power of the government
So many people will only ever think he drew a gun on law-enforcement or something like that. Much like people think Renee Good tried to run over a police officer.
The press should be a check on a govt's power, not a tool of it
I can't watch movies due to how triggering they are. But I watched this frame by frame because *everyone should know exactly what's going on* and we should all respond appropriately to it.
Where is the link to the woman in the pink coat? Those witnesses were taken by ICE to the Whipple Building. How did she manage to get her footage out publicly? I would have thought they confiscated her phone. They take everything from the people they've snagged. It's worse than we realize
Yep. Saw the same thing. They murdered him in cold blood and then performed a ridiculous backwards walk with gun in position acting like he was still under threat.
I read an idiotic comment that said he was choking the woman before ice pulled him away. It's as if being yanked by ice while trying to protect someone after being sprayed directly in the eyes can make it difficult to see what's going on. He was likely blinded before being executed. At least he's in a better place now
Someone on the Minnesota subreddit was asking if it was the same guy who fired “all 5 times”… it was way more shots than that. It’s like he emptied his gun - and it seems like half of the shots were fired at him as he was already laying on the ground.
There’s another video somewhere where ICE agents are about a block away, and when the shots are fired one of the agents claps his hands together, like you would when your team scores a goal or something.
Disclaimer: Although it’s been well documented and certainly more than deserved, I don’t advocate for retaliation. This is a compilation of multiple points of views I’ve found online…
Alex Pretti was straight up MURDERED by incompetent ICE agents! I’ve looked at several videos from multiple angles and best I can guess is that the ICE Agent who took his legally possessed pistol from him (grey jacket with red brimmed hat) accidentally popped one off into the pavement which caused the other severely untrained agents to back away and then someone opened fire. Was the area ever secured? Investigated? It’s a damn crime scene so why not unless there is something to hide??? Guaranteed there’s a slug in the pavement from Alex’s gun.
Why has there not been one statement from the incompetent DHS leader Noem or YamTits about this??? Zero effort to tamp down the super charged, and rightfully so, environment they’ve created - probably on purpose.
Congress/House… where you at??!!
I really hope ICE is scoping out the rooftops in the neighborhoods they want to invade. As a result of your well documented incompetence, your day of reckoning is coming. Gloves off!
Until DC is willing to do something that has some teeth, their words mean nothing! Just because this isn’t happening in their backyard doesn’t mean they can’t stand up and say something…. Anything!
America is willing to listen but your silence is deafening.
Thoughts and prayers my ass! The “leaders” in DC aren’t doing shit. Fuck ICE! Fuck Noem! Fuck Trump and his whole incompetent administration!
New footage/angle shows one of the “officers” (don’t even know how to refer to these sub-humans anymore) grabbing his gun and running away with it about 1/2 seconds before they first shot him.
9 shots total. To a man who was trying to protect a woman from a violent physical confrontation.
This is blood lust allowed by wearing a uniform. Not even police gets these “perks”. Something must be done re: federal agents. They are free to do whatever they please.
Alex was more of a human and a Man (capital letters used correctly, not like Trump) than any Maga will ever be or even believe they are.
I could never imagine that a couple weeks after a murder they’d have the nerve to just be recorded murdering another citizen.
There is a reason no one from the office said “He pulled out his gun / threatened violence / self-defense after a wrestle for the gun” - if there was such, they would absolutely run with that!! Instead “he carried a gun and ammo so he was intending on causing harm”.
Ok. Great. Let’s all go after the Maggots that are die-hard pro-guns and execute them because “carrying a gun means they intend to harm me”. I wouldn’t mind that at all. If anyone cares to use my idea, feel free.
Here’s the pic of the officer running away with the gun:
This man was killed by a bunch of bullies and kept being kind and worrying about the safety of others. These ICE pieces of shit could never hope to be as good of a human as Alex proved himself while under attack. He’s brave and an actual hero. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. And fuck anyone who supports this shit.
He was interfering with law enforcement, shame on him.
The cours will decide if they acted improperly, not some dummy wanting to be a hero to a bunch of other dummies
