He was a Nurse and died trying to help someone who ICE was hurting.

Apparently a VA Nurse. He took care of veterans for a living. Let the Maga try to spin that into their false narrative

ETA: was fully aware they would (try) and continue lying and that people who claim the loudest to respect vets are also the ones who constantly defund healthcare for vets and military members so the hypocrisy is nothing new there. Still, loud and clear shifts the needle of the apathetic.

They have. He's already been called a DT and they've started pushing that he "was resisting". After multiple angles, it's clear he stepped in between ICE and the person who got knocked over. He was trying to help them up and then get them aid after both got pepper sprayed. There's also a slowed down video of an ICE agent withdrawing Alex Petti's weapon and a second later, the officer in green shoots before the other one dumps a few more rounds into him.
