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.

"On January 24, 2026, 37-year-old U.S. citizen Alex Pretti was repeatedly and fatally shot by United States Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States."

/16@wdlindsy they've managed to find two white people called Good and Pretti. Who's next? Angelic? Perfect?

"An analysis by The New York Times found that several agents wrestled a man onto the sidewalk, one officer struck him with an object, and then ten shots were fired within five seconds."

@wdlindsy I have seen some footage, which I have not independently verified, and it looks like a cold beat down murder from every angle.
In one frame, you can see them agent pull his gun and hit Alex with it, the gun discharges, and it seems like another agent unloads a full clip from an auto 9mm. (I am a trained shooter, that gun was fully auto.)
But, again, I'm not a forensics person and the footage I've seen may not show the entirety of the interaction, so I may be misinterpreting what I think I saw.
But I'm pretty sure what I saw was a slave patrol using a throw down gun as an excuse to murder a man.

"The Trump regime has murdered another citizen. And now they’re lying about it. The cover-up is in full swing. But we have the footage. From multiple angles. We’ve heard from multiple witnesses. And we have cameras on the ground, thanks to our partners at Status Coup."

"Multiple witnesses were on scene. One described it to us as “an execution.” Within minutes, Minneapolis police moved to secure the area. They were blocked by federal agents. According to the Star Tribune, federal officers attempted to order local police away from the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and instructed his officers to preserve the site."

According to the Star Tribune, federal officers attempted to order local police away from the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and instructed his officers to preserve the site."
"That refusal mattered, because video evidence from multiple angles began circulating almost immediately. The footage shows at least ten shots fired. It shows the victim’s hands appearing empty. It does not show him using a weapon, reaching for one, or threatening anyone. It shows a man shot to the ground and then shot again.
Federal officials quickly claimed the man threatened them with a gun. The videos do not support that claim."

"If the man was armed, the footage suggests the weapon was holstered. That is consistent with what Minneapolis police have already said publicly: the victim is believed to have been a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. At no point in the available video does he brandish or point a weapon."

"Video analysis disproves the entire Trump regime’s narrative. Freeze frames show agents firing as the victim recoils. Other frames show an agent pressing a gun into the victim’s chest while shots continue. The man’s hands remain visible and empty. The claim that this was a necessary response to an imminent threat is contradicted by the visual record."

"The Minneapolis police chief has ordered his officers to preserve the scene, despite ICE reportedly ordering them to leave. ICE has arrested witnesses and transported them to the Whipple building."

@wdlindsy police need to arrest the murderers. Nothing less.
Politicians need to be in the streets with the people.
No help is coming for the people until these th I ngs happen

"The video is, you know, is hard to explain other than as a cold-blooded, you know, execution, just as you described it. They pepper sprayed him directly in the face, which we see them constantly doing as well, took him to the ground, and he was on the ground, and then he was shot,and then they backed off and shot him like a half dozen more times."

"He [i.e., the federal agent doing the killing] emptied a clip into this guy who was lying on the ground already. I mean, it was just absolutely horrific, and I caution people against watching the video without being emotionally, you know, kind of prepared for it."

@wdlindsy per a witness's brother
"They detained witnesses and took them to the Federal building at Ft. Snelling." Along with the victim's body... the evidence.
Consider anything they say about the evidence, including gun possession, to be a lie, and the evidence lacking any legitimate chain of custody record
-
"The Star Tribune reports that federal agents attempted to order local police to leave the scene where the man was shot and killed by federal agents earlier this morning. According to the report, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused to comply with that demand and instead instructed his officers to remain on site and preserve the scene."

"There is some dispute now whether that was ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, wrestling an individual to the ground. He appeared to be motionless."

@wdlindsy I guess it's useless to as these questions these days but why are customs and border patrol agents doing enforcement in a city several hundred miles away from any border?

@wdlindsy
We are learning a lesson, but it’s the one they want ( #antipresident )…@knutson_brain Oppressors often imagine they've made those they want to oppress learn a lesson, but often the lesson they've imparted turns out to be different from what they imagine: it ends up firing resistance.

@mike Not useless — a good question to ask.
