"Minnesota Has Had It."

     Alex Jeffrey Pretti has only been dead for a few hours and his murder already has its own Wikipedia page.  Pretti was an ICU nurse who worked at the local VA hospital. Pretti's murder this morning at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis is already the third shooting involving ICE in 17 days.

      Two have been fatal and both victims had been US citizens and Minneapolis residents.

 

      Pee Wee German, aka Stephen Miller, couldn't wait to chime in and called Pretti a "domestic terrorist", the catch-all phrase beloved of domestic terrorists to describe people who stand up to domestic terrorism.  The usual lies have started. DHS is now claiming, without evidence, of course, that Pretti had his gun in his hand and threatened agents. The problem with that is the New York Times thoroughly reviewed the video and found that he was holding a cell phone.

     If you look at the video posted above that was taken by a bystander from inside Glam Doll Donuts across the street, Pretti was swarmed by at least seven ICE agents and he was shot 10 times in five seconds by one of them while he was down and surrounded by ICE.

     I hardly see how that's consistent with law enforcement training anywhere outside of ICE's murder mill. And when real law enforcement, the Minneapolis Police, arrived on the scene, DHS tried to block access to the scene and was successfully resisted by Chief Brian O'Hara.

     Gov. Tim Walz has called out the National Guard and Trump is renewing his threats to invoke the Insurrection Act. 

     That's all I have right now. Anything else would be speculative. But rest assured I'll be writing about this in the immediate future.
