I think I see the new talking points to defend the ICE murder of this man.

They are going to say it was a mistake but justifiable self-defense. Someone yelled "gun gun!!" and an agent thought his life was in danger and so shot the victim in self defense.

The man was apparently shot in the back. How is that self defense.

And then trump came along and flipped it all upside down. Using the federal govt to reach and control everything. And now using gun ownership to justify murder by federal agents. WTF is going on? I am hearing more democrats now mention supporting small govt and gun ownership. Are Republicans replaying 4D chess?

Trump isn’t a real conservative. I think we might be seeing some severe party shifts similar to the southern strategy. We indeed are living in upside down land.

A few conservatives are certainly starting to question things.

The gun rights people might start to catch on. The Admin shouldn’t have lied about this one.

There was a little bit of pushback in the RW sphere with Good, but I think this one is really going to take off. It checks too many boxes.

He was an ICU nurse for the VA. I am an RN. Every nursing social media account I follow is blowing up in anger over this. Mark my words, nurses will be marching nationally over this murder. He was HELPING other people before they attacked him!

ICE better build their owns hospitals. I have a feeling they will be refused treatment.

A national nurses strike would be a great start.

Yes.

Nurse here. The number of nurse Trump supporters is way too high. I don’t understand it. Not after Covid. Not now. And it’s all the so called very outspoken “Christian” nurses. For shame.

medpage today (excerpt)

he video shows an officer shoving a person who is wearing a brown jacket, skirt, and black tights and carrying a water bottle. That person reaches out for Pretti and the two link up, embracing. Pretti, wearing a brown jacket and black hat, seems to be holding his phone up toward the officer.

The same officer shoves Pretti in his chest and the two, still embracing, fall back.

The video then shifts to a different part of the street and then comes back to the two individuals unlinking from each other. The video shifts focus again and then shows three officers surrounding Pretti.

Soon at least seven officers surround him. One is on Pretti's back and another who appears to have a canister in his hand strikes a blow to Pretti's chest. Several officers try to bring Pretti's arms behind his back as he appears to resist. As they pull Pretti's arms, his face is briefly visible on camera. The officer with the canister strikes Pretti near his head several times.

A shot rings out, but with officers surrounding the man, it's not clear from where the shot came. Multiple officers backed off of Pretti after the shot. More shots are heard. Officers back away and Pretti lies motionless on the street.

The officer who shot Pretti is an 8-year veteran of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal officials said.

No, it's not about training, except possibly for the fact that ICE/CBP have probably never been trained AT ALL in interacting with the general civilian population.

Why are Republicans, of all people, ok with a man being murdered for exercising his first and second amendment rights? He was nog aggressive, attempting to help someone, and never brandished his gun.

He was literally murdered by government agents for exercising his constitutional rights.

MAGA at this point is willing to kill anyone who isn't part of their cult.

Both nursing and medicine reddits are blowing up. Healthcare workers are ANGRY!

This was murder.
ICE needs to be held accountable.
They need to pay.

If you do not own a gun get one and learn how to use it now. Yes now.

If you think Dictator Don will not change the gun laws in this country you are insane. Dictators do not let subjects keep their guns!!

I’ve thought about this, and I’ve thought about how I can’t believe it has come to this, but going up against the military? I can’t see being successful in that defense.

It is not. There are people who are on these forums (not sure of Politics) whose ancestors lived under regimes/countries where they witnessed these things. What was that thing that was said after 5k plus have dies in Iran recently during protests there?: "help is coming..." for Iran. What the f about AMERICA?

Tell that to Alex Pretti. Or right, the government murdered him just like he would have been murdered in one of those regimes. Again, what the difference. Three is too many. There will be more.

How long before they’re investigated?

No parent can watch that video and think it’s remotely acceptable.

The Trump administration has gone off the rails.

No decent human can watch it and think it’s remotely acceptable.

The problem with blocking DHS funding is that it's tied to funding for a lot of other funding, so they can't vote on it separately. The other issue is that this White House doesn't care about funding the government. It simply moves funding around for the things it wants to fund and that allows Trump to amass even more power.

We are truly between a rock and a hard place.

Wow! First a Mom and then almost gassed an infant to death. No one cared about those so they shoot an ICU Nurse who worked for the VA? That is like shooting an angel from god. Still no one cares. It is like Sandy Hook. That white man gunned down all those cute little kids in a quiet rich white town and killed teachers too. People said t&p and went on with life. I feel like enough is enough. How much blood must be shed more this country to care?

ICU nurses restrain patients every day without emptying a clip into them. So do ER nurses and hospital security across the country in hospitals who don't have metal detectors and don't know if a patient is armed.

Armed community members have arrived on scene in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, to support ongoing protests against ICE and the Trump administration.
