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.
And whitehouse.gov will “meme” it with AI in 3…2…1
So make sure to spread the unaltered, original footage far and wide.
One day they will be right about something but no one will believe them because all they do is lie.
Yup, at this point I think that a lot of people will just assume that they are lying. This is what happens when you stretch credibility past its breaking point.
“What the f*ck did you do?”
NEEDS to be embraced as a slogan with the same passion as “Let’s Go Brandon”
It’s the perfect Anti-ICE, Anti-Trump, Anti-Capitalist message.
It calls back to the decades of intelligent well educated Americans saying this was an inevitability given the obvious path we’ve been on.
I saw a guy walking around town the other day with a sign that said, “Are we great yet?” and felt like that was a great little slogan that confronts Trump supporters with the fact that all of this was supposedly being done to restore whatever personally idealized version of “great” America once embodied to them. Pretty sure the majority of people who voted for Trump wouldn’t even say that using federal agents to murder Americans in the street for exercising their constitutional right to protest is included in their own personal definition of the “greatness” that they feel America needs to get back to.
It’s a good message for the non-insane, but anyone still pro-Trump will just tell themselves that we haven’t gotten rid of enough gays/immigrants/trans people yet for the country to be as great as it once was in some imagined past. In that light the sign has an ambiguous interpretation
People forget that the earth is a world of chaos where the biggest free for all in all of our universe, that we know of, exists.
The fact that humans tried to impose a fake order in that chaos is just an anomaly.
Embrace chaos.
I really hope you’re high as fuck right now.
You are ignorant despite how smart you think you are. You are only alive because of the lack of chaos displayed by your cells and tissues . Get a spine and fight for what you believe in.
ok. good quote in itself, but what the fuck do you mean in this context?
Hell if I know. I just write shit for up or down votes xd

Ooohhh! Teen angst making a comeback. How serious. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the one guy in the universe who knows absolutely everything just showed us a beacon of truth that we can all one day hope to understand. God like, I tell 'ya! God like!
Doesn’t matter to the MAGAts, they will just disobey the evidence of their eyes, as the party tells them.
It’s … predictable. The MAGA on my FB feed are all quiet. Not one single peep. They’ll ignore it until they’re given some talking points. Or they’ll just never mention it.
This will become the next election-fraud-style loyalty test. If you state publicly that you don’t see manslaughter in the video, you’ve proven your loyalty to the great leader.
“I don’t read propaganda” was one of the last things my mother said to me before we broke off communication for good. I don’t associate with nazis or their supporters. And of course the irony is lost on her, that propaganda is the ONLY thing she consumes.
I’m sorry you had to lose your mother to this bullshit.

Ten of them for every one of us, that’s all I’m saying.
?
there are more citizens than terrorists. the innocents have the numbers to protect themselves, but it requires coordinationYou’re replying to a person that appreciates that. They are questioning why Op said ten of THEM to everyone one of us which makes no sense.
Oh it makes sense. Let me rephrase it. 10 of them for every one of us (in Minecraft)
well damn, my brain just autocorrected the sentence lol
It’s ridiculous that I have to explain this but they’re saying that ten ICE agents should be killed in retaliation for every person they murder.
Don’t you mean 10 of us for 1 of them??
I don’t think they’re talking about the comparative sizes of the groups.
Or body mass
I’m hoping that one day soon the remaining good Americans will realise that ICE pigs have names and addresses too
Do not believe anything posted by doj or their affiliates
Sucks that TousiTV keeps getting his sources from them when he covers USA. We are trying to help Iranian/Persian people and ourselves which is tough
I’d never heard about him until I recently found out my Trump supporting dad had been watching him. How is he? Should I be concerned? I know he’s said stuff praising Israel, so I suspect he isn’t leftist by any means, or anti-authoritarian either. I don’t know why he cares about Iran except to weaken an enemy of Israel maybe?
Hopefully I’m wrong about this and it is actually about oppression. I just don’t see how someone can square that with supporting what Israel is doing. I’m just worried he’s just an even worse far-right media person.

by this point, if a gunman was heading to ICE agents with finger on their trigger attempting to shoot the ICE golems in terraria. They wouldn’t be the bad guys
No, they would be fucking heros
Honest opinion, I don’t think they would ever be the bad guys, only a dead or non-existent Nazi is a good Nazi.
But I guess the unfortunate thing is that ICE would group together and an actual civil war starts (in which ICE likely has the upper hand, as it gets funded by the government and Nazis are more likely to have firearms I guess), which is probably exactly what the Trump Administration wants, I don’t know it’s a pretty bad situation there…
sorry to break it for you. ICE is conducting an ethnic cleansing against Americans. and shootings Americans in the streets. the civil war has already began
Whixh is why the protests need to be focused on the oligarchs in control, rather than their hired goons.
We need to see the video he was making, you know, the one to hold the ICE agents accountable, the one they killed him for
We never will see that one. The ICEholes will have taken it as “evidence” so they can destroy it.
If his icloud or google account can be accessed then it is likely the video exists still. I doubt those agents were smart enough to realise this and likely destroyed the phone thinking that would do it.
Can apple or google access your photos and videos?
Yes they can but they’ll only do it when they’re sucking up to federal law enforcement
Yes they can and do access your photos and videos. The claim they need this profoundly invasive business practice to scan your media for CSAM to “protect the children.”
Republicans are hunting Americans. It’s Republicans vs. America.
It’s neoconfederates come to finish the job because the Civil War never fixed the core issue and just let it sulk until America no longer had a shared reality.
This is 100% the root.
Some Dems are in favor of ICE, is the government V Americans. it always was the top vs the bottom, just now law enforcement is executing white people, not just minorities.
They are MAGA. The Republican Party is dead, that was just the larval stage, before it morphed into its final form - MAGA. We should only refer to the Republican Party from a historical or scholarly perspective.
They are ALL MAGA now.
Things I thought I’d never say: I miss the Republicans of the eighties. They were all a mix of absolute cowards, grifters, and idiots, but the new MAGA party that has replaced them manages to consistently be even worse.
Feelings like that are why the Democrats are trying (and failing) to be Republican-lite now.
I think I don’t understand your comment.
Are you suggesting my somewhat sardonic comment that the historically terrible party has managed to become so awful and vile that I “miss” them being just terrible is representative of why Democrats are moving to the right?
That’s the only interpretation I can fathom and I fail to see the logic if I’m correct.
The problem is the grifters pushing fear for political support and cash for several decades. People grew up in that environment no knowing it was all a grift.
The lunatics have now become in charge of the aslyum. All those grifters and old people still in charge, fuck em. They made this bed and still haven’t taken responsbiility for it.
The difference was that the 80s Republican politicians still loved America. MAGA politicians are all Sociopathic Oligarchs or their flunkies, and they hate America, and ONLY see it as a fat, rich, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited in every possible way.
80s Republicans were narcissistic patriots, MAGAs are narcissistic and corrupt traitors, rapists, pedophiles, racists, ignorant, incompetent and CRIMINALS.
The difference was that the 80s Republican politicians still loved America.
Sorry but that’s just not true. The heritage foundation has never loved america and has never produced an american-loving republican, only capitalism and capital-loving republicans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_Doctrine#Origin_and_advocates https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/reagan-and-heritage-unique-partnership
With the arrival of the Reagan administration, The Heritage Foundation and other conservative foreign policy think tanks saw a political opportunity to significantly expand Carter’s Afghanistan policy into a more global “doctrine”, including U.S. support to anti-communist resistance movements in Soviet-allied nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. According to political analysts Thomas Bodenheimer and Robert Gould, “it was the Heritage Foundation that translated theory into concrete policy. Heritage targeted nine nations for regime change: Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Iran, Laos, Libya, Nicaragua, and Vietnam”.
Probably valid, but they still weren’t killing citizens in the streets.
Killed by the Klan, but the government helped justify it. Did the same kind of shit they are doing to Renee Good.
ICE is just formally state sponsored Klan. The Venn diagram of cops and Klan approaches a circle at certain points of US history.
Umm… no. People were killed, white people just didn’t care because the people dying weren’t white and therefore it wasn’t on the news. Republicans were killing citizens on the street in the name of fighting drugs and family values by killing black and brown people with hiv, crack and making abortions illegal.
This is well-known history and honestly to forget it is either a deliberate choice at worse or gross negligence at best.
White people would have cared more, they just didn’t know about it because video cameras were so rare back then. That’s why the Rodney King case was such a big deal. For the first time, we saw how cops really treated black suspects.
A few years later it was driven home during the OJ trial, when we heard about even more systemic abuses by the LAPD, leading to a jury who simply didn’t trust any police testimony due to decades of abuse. White Americans were finally understanding that cops weren’t just ignoring blacks, they were systematically targeting them for abuse.
Then smartphones came along and definitively proved it across the entire country.
It’s the same fucking people. 80 year olds sitting in power right now were in power then, too.
They didn’t wake up this way, they’ve won through incrementalism and can now go mask off.
Rose-tinted glasses, I’m afraid. They may claim their hearts may have desired to respect some ideal, but the facts and evidence show that’s absolutely not true. Some useful links:
Yep we must resist the urge to revisit even recent neocons like Bush II as “good old days conservatives” because they were absolutely monsters and it makes it seem like Democratic opposition at the time was just silly fearmongering. It was not. We are making real estate deals with the country that did 9/11 and we destabilized two other countries for oil and political points, under the guise of 9/11 retribution. That’s like getting coffee with your wife’s rapist after burning down some other guy’s house in anger over it.
Exactly this. There have never been any “good conservatives”, they’ve always been like this – now they’ve just gotten more power
Something I was just made aware of: after shooting and killing Alex Pretti, ICE officers then stood back and shot him 5 more times.
They shot him many times so he couldn’t testify later against them. 1 shot, then a bunch for the kill.
public paramilitary execution.

I hope the DNC is pleased that they put appealing to corporate donors above appealing to voters.
I rest my case.
“the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches” @tvsadam.bsky.social
"I expect evil people to do evil things
I also expect people selling themselves as a bulwark against those evil people to fight tooth and nail against the evil things evil people do
only one of these groups is currently performing according to expectations"
“if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator”
"it certainly does not mean I secretly like the roaches and want them to carry on infesting my house
if I were happy with the roaches infesting my house I wouldn’t be mad at my shitty exterminator"
Sure, but if I don’t do this and and I know the result of this is someone infesting my house with rats, I’ll probably just pay the guy. I’d rather have the same problems than for things to be made even worse.
Entirely missing the point, but you do you!
Sounds like you don’t have a case. I voted for Harris. I also put blame where it’s due: square on the shoulders of the DNC
Then you’re not who I’m talking about, but you knew this already- you just wanted to argue.
Blocked.
you just wanted to argue
This joker commented in a community devoted to arguing politics and accused someone of arguing
But when Rheori does it, they’re the good guy. Ignore that they claim innocence when they use insults and claim it’s just nuance to call everyone who disagrees with you names.
Rhoeri, Kamala Harris lost because she fucking sucks.
Do you have another warrior in mind? Snake in the grass Gavin Newsom, perhaps? Maybe traitorous Mitch McConnell would like to take a run at the presidency? Or maybe dickless, do nothing and let ICE murder his citizens Tim Walz would like to give it another try? Oh, I know, maybe colossal loser who left on vacation after fucking everything up for us Kamala Harris is going to return for round two.
Tell me who it’s supposed to be. I got my pen ready, mother fucker. Who’s name do I tick? Which paragon of pretending to give a shit do I sign my name next to? I mean it, give me a name. Right now.
You vote AGAINST fascism! I do know why this so hard for you people to understand!

Are you assuming that the other commenter sat out during the election?
I did not sit out, but I will still call them the fuck out whenever it comes up.
It’s a shame you’re being downvoted, because you’re aboslutely right. Anyone who refused to vote for Kamala because she wasn’t passing their purity tests has Pretti and Good’s blood on their hands.
No it’s because they’re acting like an asshole and wondering why everyone hates them.
Yeah. Now all the kids got it removed. Lemmy is such a fucking joke. There’s little else here besides a bunch of entitled childish idealists.
I think most of the protest non-voters are young college students. Young people tend to have trouble with accountability
Not voting just means they are completely comfortable with everything that is happening: deaths, fascism, ruined diplomatic relations and all. They can’t say they didn’t see this coming. Trump isn’t some new variable. This isn’t his first presidency. This is his 2nd and he was the same piece of shit during the first. People tried to warn the GOP voters on the fence and the non-voters that this would happen. Bernie Sanders and other politicians said that Trump is a bitter man and will use the presidency purely for vengeance and he absolutely is. Even Trump himself told us exactly what he was going to do. They had ample warning over and over but they didn’t want to listen. They chose to be complicit.
You guys are so screwed, even here on Lemmy im getting comments removed for inciting violence against ice agents. You guys aren’t even allowed to speak about rising up
Seriously??
let me try, there is nothing wrong with shooting ICE golems in terraria. it is best to kill those ICE golems on sights to protect you and your loved ones playing terraria. ICE golems will not hesitate in killing your friends and family playing terraria.
Resistors need to answer question 2A, learn to build and fly drones, and join an improv group.
it matters the instance. I know mine won’t do that as it’s an anarchist-friendly one. I know .world is run by libs
I think something changed after This post on fediverse@lemmy.world
A disappointing majority of people in that thread were threatening to leave because of the “disturbing levels of political toxicity”.
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?
I’ve seen those headlines too. It’s seems like they are trying to insinuate that it actually is criminal in some respect for citizens to carry guns in the US. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting from them making a big deal about that detail.
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.
That sure sounds like something the NRA should have an opinion about
The NRA started the anti-gun movement in California alongside Reagan. In response to the Black Panthers carrying while copwatching as they did similar shit to the Black neighborhoods in the 1960s.
The NRA will back it no problem. They have before.
The NRA exists solely for the profit of firearms manufacturers.
This won’t hinder their sales,so the NRA won’t care.
Lol, if that were true, they should be shouting from the rooftops because after this, people will be scrambling to get guns when an occupying private military starts executing civilians on the street.
It might even increase them.
I hope innocent people start arming themselves. It’s fucking time for the 2A to kick in
I live in MPLS and I just passed my qualification for a permit to carry yesterday. Never thought I’d be the type of person to learn about and practice firearms but now that the future is so uncertain and tumultuous I figure it’s better to be educated and practiced just-in-case.
Good! Education and practice are key! More people need to follow your example!
The NRA is an embezzlement scam. They don’t care about gun rights OR gun manufacturers
Their sales will actually go up as more people on either side arm themselves. The rich get richer, the machine of death keeps rolling.
Idk about the NRA, but this is the GOAs response.
While I disagree with their statement about immigration, I gotta at least give them credit for not being totally two-faced.
That statement some real “both sides” energy bullshit. The only ones obliged to behave like professionals here are the ones representing the US government on official duty. The rest are obliged to do exactly what they are doing. Keep watching, keep filming, keep supporting each other, and keep showing the world all of it.
It would have been great if not for that “The Left is clearly the antagonist here!1111!111” part
The NRA protects cops more than they protect guns.
