you really need to get some new news sources.

Alex Pretti spits at ICE agents and smashes federal SUV's tail light in shocking footage taken 11 days before he was shot dead

Alex Pretti was filmed spitting at a federal SUV, smashing its tail light and fighting with cops 11 days before the fatal shooting that shocked America.

Lawyers for Pretti's family confirmed to The Star Tribune that the agitator in the footage on January 11 is, in fact, him.

Guess you should have proved all that was well known before I posted around 19 hrs ago.

They could have arrested him there on at least four counts.

They let him go instead. Possibly under orders from their immediate superior or higher.

Really bad call.

They saw he was armed.

Permit or no permit, a violent person should not be allowed to carry a gun.

An arrest normally would have required him to surrender his weapon(s) and permit, pending the outcome of his case.

Which likely would have saved his life two weeks later.

Wow
This makes it a lot lot worse
Instead of arresting him legally at the time
They tracked him down and executed him for revenge
No wonder they went full gestapo on him instead of legally arresting him

Everyday is appears more likely that "Gandler' conspiratorial" ideas may be right. They were hunting him. Everything is coming together.

I think the ICE cop, the shooter, might get prosecuted and perhaps rightly so

but this is fantasy

Of course. Cops’ main priority is their pension. They don’t want to risk it by planning a murder while dozens of people have cameras trained on them.

If the guy standing over Pretti is the killer and pulled the trigger at that moment, he’ll certainly do time. I just don’t think he planned it. Read some ‘experts’ that are predicting manslaughter conviction.

All police officers are instructed that any use of physical force, especially deadly physical force, must at the same time be Reasonable, Authorized and Necessary.

Two officers evidently didn't get the memo.

Don Lemon busted

“in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X on Friday.

No doubt this is because he had a cell phone and was recording
Wait
This is Don Lemon
It's probably a worse crime. He had a cameraman recording

He arguably interjected himself into this mess in an attempt to capture some screen time and to try to appear relevant once again.

He's been floundering since he got shit-canned by CNN.

Who's old enough to remember this classic SNL skit
Lol



She is blaming her remarks on people that were there telling her what happened
WTF
The whole planet is watching the videos and you are going with hearsay
Talk about incompetence
I actually saw one of the first videos of this incident
That's how I learned about it
I quickly went to the internet and nothing was in the news yet
This is the video from the guy accross the street in his house videoing out his house window
Didn't take long for the story to go viral
