Alas, this probably won't be the LAST ICE murder in Minnesota.

Okay.

You don’t have the intelligence to sound like me

That must have come as a hell of a relief.

(A bar set so low you can crawl over it!)

This is Alex Pretti, a VA nurse. He spent his last moments trying to shield observers from ICE aggression.

Oh my GAWD they be killin WHITE FOLK NOW? I thought us black folk was special.

I am thoroughly amazed that there hasn't been a mass shooting attack on ICE. I mean bump stocks are legal again. Why do they only shoot up schools and music concerts?

The murdered hero was named Alex Pretti. He was and ICU nurse.

They pepper sprayed him, which was legal, assaulted him by hitting him in the head with the canister, arguably legal (reasonable force) while he was in possession of a deadly weapon, removed the threat, then executed him, they're going to need some incredible exculpatory evidence or a technicality to weasel their way out of this one.

Nice selfie.

You are an inbred hillbilly incel dipshit. I hope you get deported, you rancid piece of shit. It is ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT ICE FLAT OUT MURDERED THIS GUY.

You are a subhuman dipshit for defending this.

Eat shit and die, motherfucker.

This is.. fuck.

The worst part? Unless someone decides to protect the citizens, and by that I mean: where are the politicians?! Do they feel comfortable when they see this happening? Are they so afraid to say something against the president, that they are willing to let the citizens get executed?!

Well.. if no one does anything.

Then Ice is going to get away with it.

In this world where news are fake and everyone gets their knowledge from AI created memes and pictures on tiktok.

Then ICE is unstoppable.

Sadly.

Sadly have to agree with you.

Congress is doing nothing to rein in Trump.

Republicans seem to want America to implode.

ICE is Trumps gestappo.

The USA needs to wake up and stop this before it gets any worse.

Otherwise we are looking down the barrel of a genuine full on civil war.

No one should stand for state sponsored murder, anywhere, against anyone.

I guess we just don't have the right mindset.

You can see from the footage he had no gun, only a phone and even if it was a gun the footage shows one of the ice agents tossing it before they unload their weapons into him and then leave the body behind. He’s been identified as a male nurse with no criminal history and no active warrants so there’s that too.

Earlier footage shows him intervening between ICE and a woman they were harassing, they shove him down, tossed what he had on him, shot him then shot him several more times before leaving. This felt more like a gang initiation than 12 federal officers “defending themselves” from what DHS has dubbed an escaped criminal on the run.

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that the "threat" that they removed might have been a gun as per their own statements but regardless of whether it was a gun or a phone that they removed, it ended in an execution.

DHS will investigate their own. This needs an independent investigation.

Yeah.. because that is going to be an objective investigation.

Sometimes I bloody love the internet, and people filming everything.

This one is condemning and unforgivable.

I can get defending the agency and it's purpose, but at this moment in time I can't see how you can defend the officer who hit him with the canister and pulled the trigger, I'm open to seeing new evidence but on face value it seems indefensible.

I get that but even if it was a weapon, devil’s advocate here, we can see it being discarded before he’s shot. So he was either unarmed before he was arrested or before he was shot. Either way its an execution and completely avoidable.

He is punishing that state because it's a Midwestern state who doesn't kiss his orange ass. He is weaponizing ICE on them. He is a childish petty human being.

That's what bullies do!

That's the difference between Dems and Rethugs. A Dem president wouldn't punish one of those mooching backwards red states because they didn't vote for him, because a Dem president cares for all Americans.

The murdered hero.

It is very clear that the takeover of American democracy is coinciding with people wanting to enact their rights under the constitution, whether it is protesting against ICE, cuts to scientific and medical institutions, attacks on women’s reproductive rights, Gaza, the attacks on medical insurance, the list goes on.

Trump may well be a foreign asset (outside of Israel’s influence) - this breakdown of America only really benefits everyone outside of the western bubble and puts Europe and the UK - who’ve relied on the USA for a very long time - to realise the special relationships depended on good faith on both sides.

This is where I am a bit iffy. See: I respect the police and educated people in charge.
But, please tell me I am wrong; To apply for a job in ICE, then you only need a weapon permit.. and other things, but it is not a full education, you can basically just walk in from the streets, cross off some check boxes on a piece of paper, and then you are good to go.

On top of that: you get to do your job masked, you get an unreasonable high salary, and you are allowed to use excessive force (precedent; if they do not get stopped when using force, then they are being silently allowed to do so)

... I get defending your borders. Being Danish I have been called quite a lot of things, but basically: our borders are ridiculously tightly defended and it is almost impossible to get a permit to be here, unless you already have a job.

So I get a lot of those issues.

It is how they are being performed. This is the recipe for distaster.

It's all over the news and it's public knowlwdge. Of course, you'll probably deny it anyway.

haitians eating pets is totally plausible but video evidence is suspicious.

welcome to the world of alternative facts.

I need to reread 1984 again.

Hand up I had to look it up to but USAjobs.gov says

"U.S. citizen, usually under 37 years old, possess a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience), hold a valid driver's license, and pass rigorous background checks, drug tests, and physical fitness exams"

If you go further they need to demonstrate firearms proficiency and undertake a 27 week training course.

But I'll admit having seen some footage of their activity I wouldn't have assumed that level of competency was asked for.

And that is the part that is so damn frustrating!


Another thing—this may be a stereotype, but people from Minnesota are known to be kind-hearted. They don’t deserve this bullshit. The number of agents sent to Minnesota is excessive. They are harassing these people. Meanwhile, red states like Texas and Flori-DUH have at least ten times more undocumented immigrants—so where is the surge for them? We know why.


These agents are volatile and untrained, many of them weren’t properly vetted. This administration is the most corrupt and hideously vindictive in modern history. They are scammers, too.

Stabilized and slowed down video

Someone stabilized and slowed down the video that was recorded by the woman in the pink jacket. Don't know how anyone can defend this.
