'What the F*ck Did You Do?!' Video Contradicts DHS Claims About Killing of Alex Pretti | Common Dreams
www.commondreams.org
Graphic video shows federal agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis, contradicting DHS claims. Was the victim really a threat? Why did Border Patrol Commander Bovino shut down the press conference?

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.

    Alex Pretti was murdered.

    Say it with me. This was no “shooting.”

    And it’s going to keep happening again and again.

        It’s not murder if a murderer gets killed. That’s referred to as an execution specifically and justice more broadly

        Did you copy/paste the other person…?

        Edit: why was this downvoted? It’s weird to copy/paste the exact same comment and it seemed like bot behavior to me.

      I think Executed would be the correct term. The EXECUTED him while several agents held him down.

        I had this discussion about the usage of “murder” vs “execution” a couple of months ago with some guy on lemmy.

        To people who are fond of judicial sanctified vengance killings aka capital punishment, the term “execution” has a positive connotation. To you and me, calling this cold blooded murder “execution” enhances the abhorrence. To them, it expresses justification.
