Pair testify that Pretti did not hold weapon and was trying to help woman federal agents had shoved to the ground
Two witnesses to the killing of Alex Pretti have said in sworn testimony that the 37-year-old intensive care nurse was not brandishing a weapon when he approached federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, contradicting a claim made by Trump administration officials as they sought to cast the shooting of a prone man as an act of self-defense.
Their accounts came in sworn affidavits that were filed in federal court in Minnesota late Saturday, just hours after Pretti’s killing, as part of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU on behalf of Minneapolis protesters against Kristi Noem and other homeland security officials directing the immigration crackdown in the city.
One witness is a woman who filmed the clearest video of the fatal shooting; the other is a physician who lives nearby and said they were initially prevented by federal officers from rendering medical aid to the gunshot victim.
Doesn’t matter. The fascists make the rules and the rules are: what they see is what happens.
Either get used to it or do something about it, but doing nothing has never changed anything for the better.
Who’s doing nothing? I’m confused
So give me some examples of what’s being done to stop this shit?
Alex Pretti is an example, so is Renee Good.
Fantastic! Everything is fixed now!
Sarcasm aside, do you seriously think throwing ourselves at a wall to be slaughtered is going to solve problems?
That somehow, Trump is going to suddenly disband ICE because a few people got murdered in broad daylight?
Guess you’re only here to provide the cynical take, if you’re at first saying people doing nothing is a problem and then switch to saying people doing something is a problem. You must have a very hard life if you look at everything this way.

That is a good quote, but i hope you don’t believe your comments are the result of your power of accurate observation lol.
Prove me wrong.
Just came across this post (https://piefed.social/c/PLT/p/1702345/have-hope-comrades), very applicable to this ‘conversation’ i had here:
What they say they saw. What they see is the same thing as everyone else. They lie.
And they know it and we know it but go ahead and show me what difference it makes.
