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.

      I hope the DNC is pleased that they put appealing to corporate donors above appealing to voters.

          Sounds like you don’t have a case. I voted for Harris. I also put blame where it’s due: square on the shoulders of the DNC

            Then you’re not who I’m talking about, but you knew this already- you just wanted to argue.

            Blocked.

              Rhoeri, Kamala Harris lost because she fucking sucks.

              Do you have another warrior in mind? Snake in the grass Gavin Newsom, perhaps? Maybe traitorous Mitch McConnell would like to take a run at the presidency? Or maybe dickless, do nothing and let ICE murder his citizens Tim Walz would like to give it another try? Oh, I know, maybe colossal loser who left on vacation after fucking everything up for us Kamala Harris is going to return for round two.

              Tell me who it’s supposed to be. I got my pen ready, mother fucker. Who’s name do I tick? Which paragon of pretending to give a shit do I sign my name next to? I mean it, give me a name. Right now.

    Kristi Noem lying on TV this very moment about Alex Pretti and painting him as terrorist. And then claims the investigation will be performed. It seems to me they performed investigation 5 seconds after they put like 15 rounds into Alex. This shit needs Nuremberg type trials for entire current USA administration starting with Trump, all his hyenas and all the agents that murdered Alex and Renee. USA is a lawless wild west. They aren’t enforcing laws, they are playing Judge Dredd and interpret the laws pretty much randomly the way they feel, usually ending with innocent people dying. And then they continue lying about it. This is fucked.

      Not to be overly Comic-book-guy but:

      Judge Dredd is never portrayed killing someone for his own gratification in 2000AD. He isn’t racist, or to my knowledge, even a classist.

      Yes, he is a ‘judge’ in an ultra violent society that devolves execution, due process and investigation to the officer on the beat.

      But no one is above the law as far as he concerned not even the judiciary. There probably isn’t a president of the US that he wouldn’t have arrested for their crimes, and quite a few he’d execute for their crimes against humanity. Trump wouldn’t have made it to this millennium.

      These ICE thugs are just cowardly fascist scum. Law is just a weapon of suppression to them. For Judge Dredd the law was sacred and the only thing preventing humanity from eating itself in his post apocalyptic future hellscape.

        Maybe I didn’t made it clear, they think they are like Judge Dredd. You know, like Trump thinks he’s all that shit he used generative Ai to portray himself as Superman or like fighter jet pilot and all that shit. They think they are the cool good guys, they are anything but that.

    Welp there’s new footage showing him in violent confrontation with ICE days prior. Doesn’t mean he deserved to get shot of course but it means he intentionally put himself in that situation which changes up the narrative around the guy.
