The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”
In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.
Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.
In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

Alternately: is Kamala happy that she chose to openly defy her voting base and refuse to budge on Israel happy now?
Are the DNC fucks who refused to run a quality candidate or a quality campaign because that would upset their corporate donors happy now?
They are happy and openly preparing to do it again.
youre right but given the choice between a shit democrat candidate/campaign and this, the answer was incredibly obvious from the beginning and if anyone thought otherwise theyre a dumbass
The nation is filled with dumbasses. But also, it was gonna get here eventually anyway. “Being the lesser of two evils” DNC strategy just meant things kept getting worse even with Democrats in charge. Trump put kids in cages but Biden didn’t stop it. Obama killed American citizens with airstrikes. Every presidency was an escalation.
you chose “fascism definitely today” over “fascism maybe tomorrow”
I voted for Harris. How was voting for Harris “fascism definitely today”? You know something about Kamala I don’t? I assumed Trump was “fascism definitely today”
She should never have been nominated. Any woman is going to have an uphill battle even if they aren’t neoliberal scum, but both Hillary and Kamala were also neoliberal scum, so they never stood a chance.
And every time a neoliberal bastard is placed in office their overt sliminess will swing the pendulum even harder toward the next big-talking, face-eating, would-be monarch that comes along and promises to do something, even if the something is mass murder, mass torture, isolationism, and foreign and domestic terror.
gotcha, my mistake i made an assumption
A lot of Americans chose “something different” over “more of the current shit that is slowly killing us”.
Perhaps if they’d been offered another version of “something different” they wouldn’t have chosen Trump. Or maybe they would, because ultimately Trump embodies the real American dream for a lot of people.
shame about americans are getting shot in the street because of it i suppose
Whoa what you mean about the airstrikes never heard of that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki
“He was assassinated in Yemen in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki was the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and assassinated by a U.S. government drone strike.”
The information available shows he was probably guilty of some serious crimes but he wasn’t killed on the battlefield and under US law, he was innocent until proven guilty.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Abdulrahman_al-Awlaki
“According to the United States government, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki’s father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by a CIA drone strike several days before his son’s death.”
“Human rights groups questioned why Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed by the U.S. in a country with which the United States was not at war. Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, stated “if the government is going to be firing Predator missiles at American citizens, surely the American public has a right to know who’s being targeted, and why.””
Well now I’m taking some solace knowing that libs who wanted to ignore the Palestinian genocide still think leftists are why they lost. Meet our demands next time I guess.
I’m still not going to consider 70,000 dead Palestinians ‘acceptable losses’ so that you can go back to brunch.
Those people are lost
This was only supposed to happen somewhere else!
Not on us. For you it’s “better” to slaughter children than execute Americans, so you voted for genocide. For us, neither are acceptable so we voted for a third option.
It’s on you for refusing to not support genocide and insist on voting for a nonviable candidate.
Because Gaza is up much better off with Kushner in charge of it? https://lemmy.ml/post/42175873
Fuck off.
You’re so disgusting.
“I voted for genocide. Are you happy that it’s still being genocided?”
You fuck off, and get off your high horse. Your comfort as an American is not more important than all the brown people you don’t give a shit about being slaughtered.
There was no option to vote AGAINST genocide
Continue to blame the voters for voting wrong. That’ll work.
I think they shifted to “Kamala would be doing exactly the same thing” and have now moved to “Trump would have won anyway.”
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
