The video of Alex Pretti murder is beyond brutal and heartbreaking.
Nothing controversial about it. He never reached to his weapon which he was licensed to carry. He was on the ground on his knees already injured , hands on his face, one agent retrieved the weapon from his back, the other waited..and then shot him several times on the back. While several agents are holding him down..
Why did you get so much less backlash than me for posting this? 😆 People are scared of you I think.
Not that this is a laughing matter. My government and its armed forces have always, to some degree, enabled murderers. Now, it's just seeped further inside our own walls.
And only now are many of us willing to acknowledge it.
The brutality is the point. Many of us knew this would happen. It is the logical progression. Now, if these monsters, many pardoned criminals, are able to do this while knowingly being filmed, what are they doing to non citizens behind closed doors? We know of one murder of a detained person. How many others? None of this is accidental.
@Carla Yep, exactly, the brutality, and the fear it instills, is the point. Theoretically, citizens have 1st Amendment rights to observe and report on ICE activity. And, theoretically, citizens have the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
BUT! If ICE can pepper spray observers and treat armed citizens as deadly threats, it makes many people too afraid to exercise their Constitutional rights.
The fear to exercise our rights is what ICE wants. And we have a word in English for the practice of instilling fear to prevent exercise of rights. The word is terrorism; in this case, domestic terrorism.
The right-wingers ask "Why do you have to take pictures??" "Why did he bring a gun??" The real question is on what grounds do you question our free exercise of our Constitutional rights???
@ElwoodBlues gun toting right wing protesters have been gathering for years. Armed militia entered my state capitol bldg to protest masks and vaccines ffs.
Fear has been what this administration has fed the public for a decade. Now they aren't even pretending that it isn't them we should be in fear of. Im hoping that this particular brand of fear mongering produces an angry fear.
Slave Patrollers have always gotten away with murder in America because very few people fought to hold them accountable because almost all of their victims were Blacks. So now they are starting to murder White women and men and openly abuse toddlers. If you don't standup for what's right when others are being abused one day you will be the victim.
Any Slave Patroller who violates a person's human and civil rights in violation of the Fifth Amendment should be charged with a major felony, convicted and sent to prison without exception =
Fifth Amendment "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Well, it seems that people will have to resort to treatments specified in religious books = James 5:14-15 (CEV) = "14 If you are sick, ask the church leaders[a] to come and pray for you. Ask them to put olive oil[b] on you in the name of the Lord. 15 If you have faith when you pray for sick people, they will get well. The Lord will heal them, and if they have sinned, he will forgive them."
or they can drink the camel milk and camel piss drink for what ails them.
He was murdered after his gun was removed from his waistband. He was recording with his cellphone held ( with both hands), in front of him; clearly visible. A despicable violation of his rights.
It looks like a brutal execution and the administration are busy turning the victim into the violator and the bullies who shot him into the victims. The VP is busy making this the fault of the democrat politicians responsible for the protests and not their bullies at the ground using excessive violence in their methods to create havoc in Minnesota.
He was disarmed then murdered! Never forget; DJT is the cause of this and in democratic states. If this happened in Texas of Florida!? Imagine the uproar
@Miram I'm not smarter than you but in my humble opinion I think he is trying to instigate a great deal of tension and violence. Even if it's not a conscious effort on his part, a civil war would be a consequence of the framework he wants. It would divide the nation and create a power imbalance — and he wouldn’t likely be the one on the lesser side of such an imbalance.
