Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37.
No criminal history. A lawful gun owner with a valid conceal carry permit.
I haven’t commented on any of the content of this story until now.
Pay very close attention the the ‘agent’ wearing the grey coat, with his back to the camera before he turns around and walks towards it holding a gun.
He goes in hands empty, retrieves the gun from the suspects waistband, at the small of his back, and leaves before the first shot is fired.
Every shot was fired, by federal agents, at an unarmed individual. Plain murder.
/edit:
multiple angles synced up together (this ones being updated as new angles come in)
That’s not even a murder, that is a straight up execution.
There was no reason… pure murder
Yeah, just shoots him while he’s on the ground. Wtf.
Watch the guy with jeans and grey jacket on top of the victim. He knew what was about to happen.
This was inevitable and there will be more until ICE goes home or until the protesters give up.
What’s gonna be next? Night of the Long Knives for people who are against it?
From this angle, it does look like all the shots were fired by ICE.
I really can’t make out what is happening from that potato camera video. It looks like ICE fired all shots, multiple agents.
There are some slowed down videos with markers in this thread. He was disarmed before they shot him.

Thank you, this is the first video I’ve seen of the start of the interaction. It’s a little hard to tell, but it doesn’t look like the victim ever drew his gun. Bovino claimed in a press conference that ICE believed he had threatened ICE with his gun, which I’m currently doubting.
I wouldn’t believe a fucking word of armed terrorists. Trump straight lied in the Whitehouse about Goode’s murder, even after watching the video together with reporters. “Internal bleeding” my ass.
There’s another video that shows a man in a tan jacket standing up from and walking away from the dogpile immediately before the first shot. He has a pistol with a holographic sight mounted on the slide, pointed at the ground. This appears to be the victim’s pistol.
It is the 15MB file, starting with AA67, in this Proton Drive
It appears that this officer disarmed the victim, then discharged the victim’s weapon into the pavement. This appears to be the first round fired.
This is the one that needs to be at the top. Someone posted this below, so yes, AA67 definitely shows grey guy taking the victims gun before the execution happens.
we get it he had a gun, but why did the gray-coat not indicate to them that he’s been disarmed? They just shouted “Gun…Gun…”, then that ill-trained trigger-happy lowlife who shot him literally pushed the grey-coat agent away before shooting him in the back. I can’t believe he did not realize that he was disarmed. There is no excuse
So they took his gun and executed him with his own gun?
Edit: okay, it’s pretty clear that one of the thugs disarmed the victim and fired a shot into the pavement as he was leaving, and a second later the victim was brutally shot to kill by other thugs.
I bet this was all on purpose - the shot to the pavement from the victim’s gun was so they could claim the victim fired the first shot and killing him was in self defense.
I highly doubt it was intentional. That would require a certain degree of competence that is entirely lacking here. From the agent’s initial and unecessary provocation, to the escalation with pepper spray, to the vicious attack on a compliant subject, there is no evidence of competency here. That the officer handling the victim’s weapon lacked the most basic weapons handling skills seems on par.
I’m not really seeing your point. Why is competence a prerequisite for premeditated murder? Especially since they actually fucked up and got caught on video.
Hanlon’s Razor. Incompetence adequately explains everything that happened here, and is, IMO, much more damaging. A competent group of conspirators can be brought under control. An incompetent group can’t help but continue fucking up, time and time again.
The latter is much more dangerous.
But the MiDtErRms bro, just vote on the midterms. Let them jerk killing people until you can vote, one vote and we defeat fascism bro trust /s
They fucking scurryed away. Not joke scurryed. Literally scurryed!
This is our big bad, what the hell is going on in Minneapolis. Like a bunch of bullies playing a deadly prank
They will keep doing this at this point. Strongly worded letters and asking the collective of white supremacists who said empathy is a sin is not going to change their minds. RIP the victim. Republicans should be socially exiled from society.
All MAGA should have a T branded on their forehead so everyone they ever meet knows exactly who they’re talking to. All ICE agents should be sent to prison for the rest of their life, but also be gifted a 6ft length of rope. They can do whatever they want with that rope.
Maybe instead of a branded “T” they could wear yellow armbands and we could make a series of camps to keep them in for the long term. Is this just another case of history repeating? /s
Very interesting how you decided to go there. What part about what I said prompted you to suggest camps?
Murder/execution.
Are we doing Iran cosplay now?
American: sees something american happening americanly in America:
“What are we, a bunch of ASIANS!!!”
I don’t get your thought process.
- I’m not an American. You can say “Are we doing XY now?” in the English language as a “looking down” way of saying “Are you serious?” without being part of that group…
- I’m obviously talking about the Mullah dictatorship that has recently murdered protesters and they are less than 500k people (incl. revolutionary gard corps), which is like 0.01% of the whole population of Asia, so they are a really bad representation of “Asians” as a whole.
Your brain jerks to “look at these evil Muslims” when something obviously western happens in the west. Militarized police terrorizing minorities is literally as USA/European as it gets.
My thought process is that measuring repression using “le evil regime from another culture” is at its core a racist thing to do.
Iran estimated death figures range from 3000 to 30000. And they’re trying to overthrow the government.
Over 500 of the dead were agents of the government. Iran doesn’t even have a 2A. How many government agents have you Americans gotten this far with your guns? 0? And how many of you will be murdered by government agents if/when government agents are killed? Iran is just a couple of steps ahead of you.
The bloods and crips are no longer the deadliest gang in America.
Cops have always been the oldest, most established, and deadliest gang in America. They’re just a state-sanctioned gang.
Don’t believe me? Check out what cops do to other cops who blow the whistle on the crooked ones. It’s mobster bullshit.
hasn’t that always been people who own cars?
Haven’t been in a looooong time.

They are way more deadly than ICE or USBP. You think two people tipped the scale?
I want pink coats footage. I hope she got the hell out of there.
Right now it’s believed pink coat was abducted and missing. Civil rights groups are soliciting for information on her.
Edit - her footage is out
I read that Minnesota has the highest rate of registered voters who vote in every election. This is probably why they are targeted.
Voter registration was highest in Minnesota at 83.6% https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-voters-have-a-party-affiliation/
Interestingly, more Minnesotans are registered Republican than Democrat or Independent. So… I wonder how this little Nazi Brownshirt brutalism bit is playing on the denizens registered Republican?
I’m assuming most of this chaos is not happening in republican electoral districts…
Not yet. My guess is they’ll save the red states for last.
nope, and surprisingly not in the rich districts, like NYC or norcal.wish they hit schumers and JEFFERIES district. also because zohran already met with trump , and billionaires in the bay area already warned him ahead of time.
i think hes hitting tim’s state hard because he is stepping down for the race next election, as he should.
Why is it surprising that they aren’t targeting rich districts?
