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.

    It’s different when they are actively murdering us. This is an urgent crisis, imagine a violent gang was roaming and blatantly murdering people and abducting children in a city and the government called them heroes? And a decent amount of the local police are friends with that gang. Courts and trials are important also but we need to use whatever means we have to prevent or slow the killing if we have the ability to.

      No one is actively murdering you when you’re the one creating the aggressive situations. Stop obstructing law enforcement officers, it’s dangerous and illegal. Fight them in court.

        Immigrants are dying and being abused in camps, and being shot and beaten when apprehened, which is why people are filming them, Ranee Good and Alex Pretti weren’t obstructing or creating an aggressive situation, and anyone who suggests they were can go fuck themselves to hell.

          Ranee Good and Alex Pretti

          Were creating a hostile situation where ICE agents are forced to play defensive crowd control rather than doing their job. It’s a terrible situation, especially Petti who apparently did nothing but be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but they contributed to their own harm.

          If you take your convertible into a bad neighborhood and leave the keys on the dashboard; don’t ask me to feel bad when it gets stolen.

          fuck themselves to hell.

          Why would I when the left is already doing a fine job.
