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.
