Asking for me and my friends who will be attending more protests.
If you’re standing in the road and they ask you to move, move. It’s not hard. You have the right to protest, you do not have the right to block the street.
Or else what? You’ll be shot and killed?
That’s not how the law works here. What was so damn urgent they couldn’t just walk away. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
And there’s the problem, you think you’re above the law. What was so damn urgent he couldn’t move to the sidewalk?
Again, NOT HOW THE LAW WORKS. Blocking traffic is not grounds for execution. Protesting is legal.
You asked how he was resisting. The answer is blocking the street. That is how the law works. You do not have the right to block the street and if asked to move, and you don’t, surprise! That’s resisting.
I know you are doubling down on this point because you’re a troll. But have you checked the news today? Because Trump is no longer siding with the ICE version of events. He has seen the polls and the pushback and he is now saying the administration is “reviewing everything” which is his way of giving himself an out. He has also sent Homan to Minneapolis over Noem’s head, which signals a lack of confidence in Noem and her operation. Why is it that we libs know what MAGA officials are doing better than MAGA themselves?

Might already be too late but it’s amusing to see that he’s trying to save face.

wow, I am absolutely shocked. Will MAGAs turn on Fox now?

LOL. How could they stop it? Be real. The president could stop it TODAY. The GOP could stop it TODAY. Kristi Noem could stop it TODAY.
It's going to the court today precisely because Minnesota cannot stop it.
They could stop it be telling people to let ICE do their jobs, just like other States have. Why won’t they?

But if a person is resisting arrest and has a firearm, they have every right to remove it because it is a threat.
Why did they need to arrest him in the first place. Is helping another person now a crime? Standing on the side of the road with a phone?
Get the F out of here. Stop rationalizing MURDER.
Under the circumstances, Pretti was interfering with a law enforcement operation by standing in the middle of the street and interfering with the officers' when dealing with agitators. We don't know what was said during the altercation. After he was pepper sprayed, he continued to resist. He should have, at that point, moved away from the situation, especially while carrying a firearm. Not saying he deserved to die, but there are risks you take when putting yourself in that situation.
