ANOTHER ICE SHOOTING IN Minneapolis

👏👏👏👏

Now the governor and mayor of Minnesota and Minneapolis want to cooperate. Lol

 

Violent protesters will always be met with the least amount of force necessary to subdue an individual.  That is the law.  Violent protester is your probable cause.  That law has always been on the books.

As my background is military/‘foreign affairs’ oriented and engineering—not law enforcement—I was interested in any SCOTUS rulings on distance requirements during an active law enforcement activity. I wasn’t sure of it myself. I just always tried to stay back.

Clearly, Good wasn’t following these guidelines, and Pretti is still not clear as—in the Good incident—the first videos only pick up at the confrontation, and don’t show the full interaction. Pretti was obviously on scene before the widely circulated videos begin. What was he doing? Was he interacting with anyone?

In the rush for each ‘side’ to claim the narrative, videos are being presented that only show what the videographer wants to show.

No sarcasm.  Without any video, it’s my opinion that she was shot by a rogue cop.  

There is a video.

I have seen multiple videos in both cases. Have you read the link I posted?

I stand by my statement that—in both cases—the deceased and others were performing illegal actions according to the courts. Just the acts of whistling, yelling, distracting LEO’s, or encroaching on an area is illegal according to the courts.

Does that mean Good and/or Pretti should have been shot? IMHO…I’d think there could have been a lesser alternative chosen. But, I’m not into second-guessing someone in a conflict situation.

I’ve been there in slightly different situations. Although, I will say my situation was me or them. Different.

Woman picks up flash bang grenade to throw back at ICE. It goes off in her hand. Liberals blame the grenade and lack of medics on scene…….

That argument has zero credibility. If there had not  been radicals in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, no cops would have been killed. Radicals exist. That don’t excuse murder.

I know facts tend to confuse liberals!

From the article:

“According to Jeanne Massey, a neighbor, Pretti was part of a “Signal ICE” group chat of volunteers who organized a sophisticated operation to track ICE activity in real time and alert each other when agents were in the area.

These folks patrol streets, blow whistles, alert residents, and film operations to disrupt arrests.

That puts him not on the sidelines but plugged into the very network that coordinated responses to federal enforcement operations.”

Fact: if he was not there he would still be alive.  Fact: if he was there to peacefully protest he would still be alive.  
Fact: he came with a gun.  That’s ok.  His intentions were to attack law enforcement.  Planning to use the gun?  Don’t know.  
As it says in the article, he was part of the radical Signal ICE group chat.  
So, fact — everything he pre planned got him this sad result!

Clarify for me:  the Ashley Babbitt murder, you were for law enforcement?  And what happened with these two people you are against law enforcement?

I have since seen a video of this same antifa guy. He is a gay cross-dresser. That should make the liberals love him even more. You can look it up. I refuse to post his sickness.

[Reagan]

Why the lame stream media has no credibility!

From the article:  “Alex Pretti has been all over the news since he was shot while engaged with Customers and Border Protection officers in Minneapolis. The fury over CBP and ICE in the dysfunctional city has leftists attempting to elevate the armed insurgent’s status to a combination of martyr and saint.

MS NOW took their brainwashing to the next level by adding beautification to the mix. They heavily enhanced his headshot and displayed the new and improved Pretti on Nicolle Wallace’s show.”

no actual police experts are coming out and saying “good shoot. This is how we train our officers to respond.”

Is there a such thing as a "good shoot"? 
 There are plenty of attorneys and lawyers explaining why this was a justified shoot.

Absolutely. One that was by the book, no room for disagreement.  A traffic stop where the subject emerges from the vehicle brandishing a handgun in a threatening manner and the officer puts two in his chest. Closed book, problem solved. 
 

My guess is that most instructors for LEOs cringe at what they’re seeing. My guess is also that most supervisors pray that their officers never behave so stupidly.

You’re not aware of the liberal twist? The stupidity always falls on law enforcement. For some reason, they hate laws and enforcement. Can’t believe people actually think like that.

From the article:  “It's clear that Walz, Frey, and Flanagan want this insurrection to continue because it takes the focus off the massive fraud that's been occurring in that state, much of it with Walz's knowledge.”

I don't think any officer(LEO) (especially this 8 year veteran) wakes up hoping they kill someone. They just want to do their shift and go home to their family every night.....I don't blame them for doing what they think is necessary to not die. 

 I carry most of the time, my biggest fear is having to pull my weapon and use it.  Not only the thought I killed someone, someone's parent or child, I'll have to live with that but it could bankrupt me in court, even if proven justified. 

For me, I hope my Son or anyone I care for would act so stupidly interfering with LEO's trying to do an already hard job.

Change is here, it’s ICE.

 

They are going down. People are going to start killing agents that jump out on them with masks on their faces.
