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.

      “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.

      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.

            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.

                I’m not allowed to debate this topic as the mods saw fit to appease the masses of pseudo-socialists and remove my comment because in their words, it’s in “bad faith”.

                Seems “bad faith” to lemmy.world is what Rule 1 is to .ml

                But do go on with the smug insults. At least you’re allowed them. And don’t forget to report this comment as well. Can’t have anyone disagree with the hive!

                    Sorry, but I’m not debating topics in comments that have been removed. You’ll have to find your coveted debate elsewhere.

      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.
