He never showed or unholstered his legal carry gun. They directly sprayed his eyes and then executed him. 7 shots! A little ICE twerp took his gun and placed it on the seat of Pretti’s car.

His response to them shoving two women was to a) help the women and b) put himself between them and the agents WITH HIS HANDS UP.
At no point does he reach for his gun.
What gun? According to people in this thread, he did not have one. Which is it?

Congress needs a capable man to step up and be the leader this nation needs right now.
Not a Progressive stuttering nonsensical jargon nobody takes seriously outside of echo chambers. Not a vicious ultra right nut gaslighting what is happening in Minneapolis.
We need someone like Obama to step forward and quietly take hold of the reins on this runaway horse.
We need someone who has served this nation as a veteran because he will have everyone's respect. Someone capable of leading.
The only person I can think of is Mark Kelly. We need a real leader ASAP.
The guy from CT is also good. Murphy??

Being armed is not a crime, and certainly not justification for summary execution.
Suspect also had 2 magazines for the handgun.
According to DHS. Until that is independently verified by a non-MAGA source, we simply won’t accept it.
DHS isn't even saying this. PP is making it up.
I’m actually the OP and I’m not making it up. I got that from the live feed on the Minnesota star tribune page. They have reporters on the scene so that’s who I’m personally following to get updates.
“Department of Homeland Security officials said the man fatally shot by federal agents this morning in south Minneapolis was armed with a gun and two magazines.
The agency has not publicly identified the man or released details about what led up to the shooting, including how agents came into contact with him or what actions preceded the use of force.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man has died. A video shows agents were wrestling with man moments before the shooting.”

If need be I think Minnesota law enforcement or others need to step in if DOJ and other federal agencies are not complying with an investigation. And those in FBI, DOJ, ICE, DHS etc not complying, blocking, interfering need to be FIRED and charged with interfering with an investigation if not being criminally complicit with murder. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment if this crap doesn't get addressed immediately.
Exactly. Where the F* is Congress? Thune and Johnson need to start governing.
Klobuchar tweeted that she wants to pull out every stop for a full and complete investigation.

Yep. Wonder what Schumer and other democrats will say?
They'll of course be very concerned and Schumer will look over his glasses at us very sternly while explaining why he's not going to do anything about it until it's politically beneficial to him.

The bill passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it.
"The Senate should reject the DHS funding bill next week until significant reforms are added to the bill. We need a complete overhaul," Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said in a post on X.
"The Senate must vote against funding CBP and ICE. The House must immediately take steps to impeach Kristi Noem," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement.
The DHS bill is expected to come packaged together with legislation funding several other agencies, including the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, meaning Democrats would have to shut down a large portion of the government in order to block it.
Still, that's exactly what some Senate Democrats are pushing for, with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) writing on X: "Congress should not fund this version of ICE"
Well do we really need RFK's HHS? What they are doing is more hazardous than not and the people would be better served without the damage HHS is currently inflicting upon the public. DoD should not receive funding until the drunk guy provide an official budget and audit. So where's the loss?
