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.
Umm… no. People were killed, white people just didn’t care and therefore it wasn’t on the news.
White people would have cared more, they just didn’t know about it because video cameras were so rare back then. That’s why the Rodney King case was such a big deal. For the first time, we saw how cops really treated black suspects.
A few years later it was driven home during the OJ trial, when we heard about even more systemic abuses by the LAPD, leading to a jury who simply didn’t trust any police testimony due to decades of abuse. White Americans were finally understanding that cops weren’t just ignoring blacks, they were systematically targeting them for abuse.
Then smartphones came along and definitively proved it across the entire country.
There are some good apples among white people that’s unquestionable. I absolutely question the effect of a few hundred whites doing anything to change history, considering the national voting patterns since I was born in the 90s, and my personal and lived experience living in kentucky since 1998 until 2021
