Another ICE Shooting in Minnesota

[Anonymous]

^^PPS (my last one, as I have to get to work)

This reminds me of what happened with DOGE and federal employees. There really was this overarching assumption that "they're dumb, and lazy, and they're only doing their jobs because they get money for doing nothing. Offer them a glazed carrot on a stick, and we can take the whole thing down without even having to fire them." But nope. The overall numbers were a spit in the wind, and the civil service kept it together -- limping, but not crashing.

I think there was this thing about Minneapolis that "oooh, they're 'nice,' and it's a bunch of liberals who bake casseroles and live soft little lives in their soft little city that refuses to vote for me. Let's arm up some guys and let them loose, Call of Duty style." Welp. Doncha know, that isn't going as planned.

Trump underestimates America. So does Miller, so does Bannon, so does Vought. And they keep underestimating, and we keep learning what works. It's nice to be proud of something again.

So they had him in their database as a "troublemaker" and took him out at the first opportunity.

So he shouted and blew a whistle, and five agents tackled him, one kneeling on his back and breaking a rib? And then they, what, just let this dangerous whistling nurse go, with his broken rib?

Was he some kind of James Bond vigilante that out-tricked them to get away, or was it just, you know, harassment and violence by ICE against a nonviolent citizen in the street?

ICE is getting more and more unpopular. Nobody respects them or looks up to them.

Reportedly, just one week before his death, Pretti (allegedly) broke his rib in a violent confrontation with ICE agents.

He was tackled for impeding operations, and a week later he showed up with a loaded weapon to attack federal law enforcement.

He had a history of interfering with ICE and the left wants you to believe he meant no harm. This is who they are rioting for.

The operation motivating and fueling these people needs to be completely exposed and brought down.

A memo sent earlier this month to agents temporarily assigned to the city asked them to “capture all images, license plates, identifications, and general information on hotels, agitators, protestors, etc., so we can capture it all in one consolidated form,” according to correspondence reviewed by CNN.

Pretti’s previous encounter is another reflection of the aggressive approach federal agents are taking with observers and protesters – a philosophy underscored by the request for agents to collect information about protesters whose activities are broadly protected by the First Amendment.

DHS has repeatedly warned of threats against federal law enforcement officers during immigration enforcement operations—and criticized protesters who they argue are impeding those operations. On Tuesday, the department also publicized an online tip form to share information about people allegedly harassing ICE officers.

“When our law enforcement encounter a violent agitator who is breaking the law, obstructing law enforcement or assaulting them, our law enforcement make records to advance prosecution. This is not ground breaking, it is standard protocol,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.

Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene.

“That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

Pretti was later given medication consistent with treating a broken rib, according to records reviewed by CNN.

Yes, it is becoming quite clear that ICE targeted him for retribution. Changed that unjustified homicide into first degree murder real quick.

It sounds like he was actively pursuing ICE, and didn’t move back/got in the way when they told him to move away. If he was close enough to them to be tackled, he was too close. Police/ICE have an obligation to enforce safe boundaries between them and people when they are pursuing, making arrests, on duty. Then he goes and does it again a week later! He and the women were too close to them and in the road and wouldn’t back away. They were both getting pushed back. The lady got shoved in the snow then he puts himself in the middle of that situation and it creates another escalation. The gun complicated everything, unfortunately. You don’t get into a physical confrontation with LEO while carrying a gun- you avoid this situation at all costs.

That poor guy was attacked TWICE?

I hope that the agents lose their qualified immunity and get to spend some quality time in one of their own concentration camps.

PP with the big unattributed third-party story is pointing out that there is a case for intent and targeted retribution. Thanks for pointing it out, PP. Not everyone knows, yet.

Yeah, that dog don't hunt anymore. Catch up. Even the Trump administration is backing down on the justification.

Come on, these talking points are so old and dead that even president dementia doesn’t support them any longer.

Just move on to the point that you admit that you hate the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. The lying about it just makes it worse. Open fascism is despicable but let’s at least get on the same page.

Trump underestimates America. So does Miller, so does Bannon, so does Vought. And they keep underestimating, and we keep learning what works. It's nice to be proud of something again.

+1 This administration also thinks that white people don’t want these “other people” in their neighborhoods and can’t imagine anyone lifting a finger to help them.

Why none of these neighbors helped any of the illegal immigrants to legalize? They surely could have sponsored them, help them with employment visa, talent visa, pay for their immigration attorneys to expedite them receiving green cards? Why do they think whistle blowing would help these illegal aliens somehow to obtain a legal status?

Whether the officer was justified at shooting or not it is not for Trump administration to determined. If there were no justification, he should be charged and prosecuted, and if found guilty, serve his time. Administration is not backing down or up because they have no authority to make that determination.

Rather than conjuecture, you can actually watch the video and judge for yourself. Millions of Americans have, and the majority want ICE defunded and abolished.
