‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

7 months ago by MicroWave to c/politics

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.

Are the DNC fucks who refused to run a quality candidate or a quality campaign because that would upset their corporate donors happy now?

The nation is filled with dumbasses. But also, it was gonna get here eventually anyway. "Being the lesser of two evils" DNC strategy just meant things kept getting worse even with Democrats in charge. Trump put kids in cages but Biden didn't stop it. Obama killed American citizens with airstrikes. Every presidency was an escalation.

you chose "fascism definitely today" over "fascism maybe tomorrow"

I voted for Harris. How was voting for Harris "fascism definitely today"? You know something about Kamala I don't? I assumed Trump was "fascism definitely today"
