Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

SHAME to those who stand there with Kristi Noem. Especially the woman who is probably a mother. Someone else’s son was murdered today, how dare you? How fckn dare you?!

That struck me too. Seems they were behind her as back up, etc. for the storm/weather details. She started with the shooting. Not even sure they spoke later. IDK, maybe staging.

Bellingcat@bellingcat.com

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

“An individual tried to help a woman that was violently shoved by a goon and was immediately pepper sprayed and tackled by six other goons. Then, after being disarmed, was shot several times while on the ground posing zero threat to anyone.” I ask all to watch the videos to see which is the truth.

If he wanted to kill "law enforcement", then I wonder why he didn't pull his gun? Kinda hard to "inflict maximum damage" with the gun in the holster.. Her arrogance and presumption of our intelligence is infuriating.

And their fucking gaslighting will work with the brain dead maga people and the testosterone troglodytes. They will believe what they want to hear rather than their own freaking eyes. We are fucked.

We know gray jacket took victim’s gun before the shots are fired. Now we have a slowed, stabilized video showing the entire thing. Gun was removed by gray jacket, other ICE un-holsters his pistol & fires. This is murder. None of this follows any rules & regulations for law-enforcement in America.

We must speak out about this!!! bsky.app/profile/lind...

ICE’s human rights abuses under Kristi Noem’s leadership are appalling, DEADLY, and a threat to everyone living in the United States. 5calls.org/issue/kristi...

I guess she decided to ditch the cowboy hat for this one. Noem is an accomplice after (if not before) the fact.She is putting out misinformation to obstruct a state investigation into a homicide. MN should charge, arrest, and incarcerate this abomination until the citizens can pass judgment on her.

According to Republicans, the 1st and 2nd Amendments only apply when the President is black or married to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Why is no one asking her, ‘so madam fascist Secretary, if you’d been in that melee, you’d have also shot him, you know, like a dog?’

This is absolutely horrifying. There is a whole lot of video footage of ICE approaching him as he is holding his phone filming, they aggressively push two woman into a car and into the snow covered sidewalk and Alex is attempting to help the women when they fucking jump him and murder him.

Just once I wish that this epoxy-filled ashtray of the month would strap on a ponytail. But nope, if she's gonna openly lie through her teeth to the American public and anyone with eyes that can see, her feathering must be on point.

One of my favorite things to do is to watch the NPCs behind people like Noem—people who probably can't leave the gig they have for fear of losing their cars, houses, etc. And I like to imagine that every one of them has a conscience and would quit if they could. But that's probably not the truth.

He was helping a woman they shoved to the ground. I wish one reporter would pull out their phone, bring up the videos and ask her to point out where he drew his gun.

Most are easily defined as Neo-Nazi White Christian Nationalists. That mostly sums up their constitution as wayward human beings. I could probably think of a few more adjectives, but I think you get it.

They literally had to lift his shirt up to find the gun that he had NEVER even touched. No one holds a gun the way he was holding his phone in the street. And they didn’t shoot then, they waited until they disarmed him completely to shoot him in the back on the ground 10x.

Every fkn time she lies, they lie. Over and over and over. The press should not have a live camera running in front of them - they should demand proof of what they say and in absence of that, no coverage, no legitimizing.

. So yes, that's exactly how it happened in opposite world. Meanwhile on planet objective reality, we watched the four different angles of video and saw THE EXACT OPPOSITE But FAUX NEWS will never, ever correct the record. Profiles in Cowardice. .

We are now a fascist country where our government imposes belligerent nationalism and racism, has a secret police (Gestapo) violently disappearing people to concentration camps or executing them on the street for no reason. Then spews lies & propaganda to cover their actions with zero accountability

Alex Pretti, an advocate in life and death, was a protector of women. Alex was murdered in cold blood by U.S. federal agents while trying to protect two women who were being pushed around and forcibly thrown to the ground by agents. bsky.app/profile/muel... bsky.app/profile/bran...

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I’ve heard reports that he had a gun and permit for gun but only have seen pictures of him with a camera. Was the gun in his pocket or holster? Ive seen the video of the ice thugs throwing his gun on the ground. Did they take it out of where he had it?

If we want to get rid of ICE & Trump, supporting MN is not enough. I will keep saying this every single day. Until people in this .country stand up en masse, in the streets in every city & fight like MN, every day, nothing will change! We're not protesting & fighting hard enough and visibly enough

and this lie is like three versions from their original lie. dhs is consistently fulla shit. at least they are consistent. "ice agents were pushing a car stuck in the snow, when suddenly they craved steamed hams..."

Man carrying phone recording crimes tries to help woman who got pepper sprayed and knocked to the ground and is promptly executed by three men in disguises Crusty Cosplayer adding fuel to the fire that’s going to impeach and hopefully prosecute her sorry ass

It's easier to see the sequence and clarity from the USA Today video and the video that appears to be from the bystander in the pink coat. It's obvious it’s Pretti’s weapon, you see the laser sight, the silver and tan of the weapons better in the video.

Even the use of the phrase "semi-automatic gun" is propaganda. Nearly all pistols sold today are semi-automatic. Revolvers being the exception. Probably 90%+ are semi-auto. Trying to make it sound like his weapon was something other than just an ordinary handgun that any handgun carrier would have.

Most revolvers are also semi automatic. You can get 6 shots off without having to reload or recock the gun. There's also speed loaders for revolvers

Please tell me people aren’t buying this shit. I mean I get that there’s 30% who lap it up and there’s the bots and foreign actors on social media…but the general public has to see this for what it is right? Or am I once again putting way too much faith in my country?

Remembering the case Dominion Voting Systems vs. Fox News, shouldn't it be possible to sue these goons if they willingly lie? If that can be proven beyond reasonable doubt

She lies with impunity because she knows there will be no consequences. She protects the regime as self-protection. The lies will continue until we people rise up & show our leaders that we will stand for this no more. @schumer.senate.gov, do your job as leader of the opposition! Explode their lies.

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying.” - Solzhenitsyn

Let’s say she’s right (she’s not). If it takes 6-8 goons to disarm a single man with a 9mm, then those goons need way more training. Both stories—the real and fake ones—point to severely under-trained ICE agents.

* I.C.E. has become a amalgam of brown shirts & nazi S.S. & January 6th pardoned insurrectionists & Proud Boys & Oath Keepers in masks enforcers for doanld trump to invoke (Violence) to justify a declaration of national martial law and postpones election day ? *

I feel like they had a narrative prepared for the armed protester they were desperately trying to find and shoot. It's a detailed series of lies that just do not fit what anyone can see happened. It reminds me of Bush saying Saddam Hussein did not allow weapons inspectors in when in fact he did.

Shameless, pathetic losers who cos rely lie and treat us like idiots, like we can’t see for ourselves. These people need serious mental help.

Show her the video. He was clearly trying to help the woman who ICE was going after. He was being held to the ground, completely immobilized when they shot him. This was murder. Noem can go fuck herself. Minnesota is going to remember this. RIP Alex Pretti. RIP Renee Good. You didn’t deserve to die.

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU Nurse with Veteran's Affairs. It appears from several videos he had a phone not a gun. They approached him. So more lies, more gaslighting from DHS. They are unable to tell the truth. No one should have immunity for committing murder in the State of Minnesota.
