    Is there any proof he was killed for carrying? Can you prove ICE agents went and shot this man for legally carrying a firearm? Or was a weapon that could pose a threat to an officer on the person who impeding an investigation?

    ICE is also NOT police they have NO authority over anyone other than immigration issues.

    NONE....

    They are operating illegally, and should be arrested.

    That’s precisely what you are doing. You are trying to turn black and white in to whatever glasses you have on.

    Agree to disagree.

    Didn’t you say you didn’t want to waist your time. You are still here. Why?

    I think the most disgusting part of all though, besides killing him is Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and Gregory Bovino calling him a domestic terrorist. I feel sorry for his parents. Their son was all about helping people. He worked as a VA nurse serving veterans. He was helping that woman on the street when they got pepper sprayed and attacked. Why was he gang tackled and pepper sprayed for that? Should he have resisted? No, but damn, why was he gang tackled, punched, and kicked by so many ICE guys to begin with?

    Spewing the terrorist crap is the type of sick and disturbing rhetoric that gets people wanting to protest to begin with. When people want change, it's their right to protest what they are against. Noem's a liar though. She's lied before and will lie again. The same goes with Gregory Bovino, when he said “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” Seriously, this is scary stuff when those in charge of the armed men patrolling cities will flat out lie to cover their "soldiers" when things go wrong. It's even more reason to protest.

    Bro....Im gonna explain this so you once, so you get it.

    OBAMA DID NOT TELL ICE TO GO INTO SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS AND COMMUNITIES

    OBAMA DID NOT GIVE ICE HIGHER FUNDING WITH LESS QUALIFIED PEOPLE

    OBAMA DID NOT GIVE ICE CARTE BLANCHE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT

    Where was Pretti resisting? He was immediately blinded by pepper spray to the face and then mauled.

    Lord have mercy, Tim Walz…enough with the useless tweets

    explain to us how ICE was able to deny your investigators and law enforcement from accessing the murder scene

    explain to us how not a single arrest has been made

    I can't speak for him, but it's our American right to protest. But, here's from the mouths of his parents...

    Alex Jeffrey Pretti “loved this country, but he hated what people were doing to it,” his mother said.

    “He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” Michael Pretti said. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

    I meant after he was already gang tackled. But, yeah, it really isn't resistance not laying without moving when you are being kicked and punched repeatedly, and go to fight or flight response instinctively. He sure didn't attack them first. It was excessive force even from the start of the incident.

    Damn, no more second amendment, eh? Oh well, we lost the 4th, what's another one?

    Where can I trade in my arsenal for food tokens at HEB?

    I need a birthday cake for today, specifically, but you know, what with the price of items, and the ICE on the roads, and these gawrsh-danged smartphones, I think I'll go without.

    Unless one of you kind & thoughtful politicos on here wants to dm me some HEB tokens, I'm **** out of luck. BTW I'm 10,000 dollars short, cash only in person please.

    Hope I don't catch some of you on the street, oooh boy.

    Take care out there.

    But you didn't answer the question.

    Is the government lying in saying that he was a domestic terrorist that set out to cause mass causalities against law enforcement?

    I appreciate your other answers, though, even if I may or may not disagree with them.

    Explain to you how federal law enforcement supersedes state/local law enforcement?

    Is this not a concept you're familiar with?

    Our current administration is 1000% dropping the ball by saying this. All it’s doing is causing these heated conversations and radicalizing the people who were teetering. Absurdly dangerous and brain dead. Doesn’t seem like he is or was a domestic terrorist.

    Administration and Minnesota Gov need to work together to tone down the rhetoric. They are both taking opposite sides which enables the crazies to crazy.

    Peaceful protest all you want. Don’t go near the officials because they are constantly making what feels like bad decisions.
