Because much commentary is now being posted about the killing of a man in Minneapolis today by armed and masked federal agents, and because my previous thread about this today has grown long, I'm starting a separate thread about this now.

@xs4me2 @MostlyTato @wdlindsy It’s utterly crazy even discussing this but then Trump et al are utterly crazy and hateful.

"RIP, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse by trade. Intensive-care nurses, not typically being he most war-like people. And who the goon squad is already slandering as a 'domestic terrorist.' Yeah, I’m for stopping domestic terrorism, too. Which is why someone should arrest Stephen Miller, who takes demented pleasure in waging war on his own people. While prompting his corrupt boss to do the same."

They have all the power, they want a war. They lack numbers, but they have all the strength and arguably still the support of around a third of the population. They think they can win. -
"My best current understanding is that the dead man, Alex Pretti, 37, was legally carrying a licensed firearm and was at the scene in some sort of observer status or perhaps there to place himself between ICE agents and those they were trying to assault or arrest. Video evidence seems to show clearly Pretti never brandished his firearm and actually used clear non-confrontation signals in his engagement with ICE agents."

/33@wdlindsy @martinvermeer The fact that he was licensed for concealed carry does not confirm that he was carrying today. His parents say he rarely carried and needed to “be careful” in the demonstrations. It’s not clear to me that the firearm DHS is claiming to have taken from him was actually taken. It is more likely that it is a lie created by DHS. The photo of the firearm is reported to have been taken off the Internet. The chain of custody cannot be demonstrated. The story is all lies by DHS.

"If local and state law enforcement aren’t going to step up and do the job they swear an oath to do—protect our communities, the very people they’re supposed to serve—then someone else has to. Because while they stall, federal goon squads are roaming around in broad daylight, abducting and killing innocent people, and pretending it’s normal."

Uvalde spend 40% of their municipal budget in policing. They also spent a lot of money on training them.
Uvalde police officer Adrian Gonzales was acquitted on all charges for his dereliction of duty & cowardice.

If you have a police force that refuses to do its job, what exactly are you paying for?

Keep up the presence of crowds.
Assad, dictator & mass murderer of Syria, was eventually forced to flee to Russia.
Hopefully, the same can happen to Trump’s regime. The Qatari royals even gave him a plane to do a runner.
We need the names of these mass murdering ICE goons.

"A New York Times video analysis shows [Alex Pretti] was holding a phone, not a gun, [when federal agents killed him]."
