New: CBP Shoots and Kills Man in MN

[cnm]

Hey, you can ask this young lady out for a date without the fear of being rejected, because nothing in the picture is real.

Like your more and more desperate denial.

 

[The Duke]

How much time elapsed between the disarmament and the first shot fired ?

1 second, and not more than 2 seconds before he reached for what was no longer there and they made the "gun!" call and started shooting him. From what I see.
His gun had already gone off and was not in his possession before he reached for it and they drew and shot him.
He put himself in that situation.

 

[The Duke]

ICE is much less likely to start physically assaulting people carrying rifles.

And more likely to start shooting. Derp!

What was being obstructed? Who was being arrested?

An illegal alien who had been convicted of domestic violence

The left likes to waste our time with silly questions like that.

Then when we're thinking about it they engage in more mischief.

Don't fall for it. Focus. This whole thing was being run out of the governor's office. Elected officials engaged in actual sedition.

 

[Deadstick]

Simpletons like you don't get to make policy.



Because Walz didn't spend three months riling people up like Trump did and organizing the demonstration (which again, are mostly peaceful.)

I thought they had been making policy for a long time.

 

[Godboy]

Looked like he was reacting to the effects of the pepper spray that he got hit with when he was walking toward the woman that the same guy who sprayed him had shoved around.

Are his body motions in reaction to the spray what you're calling resisting?

Or are you referring to the fact that he got between the guy with the pepper spray and the woman he was shoving around?

Or is there something else that he did that, speaking only for myself, I didn't see in the video?

Technically, that woman looks like the primary instigator in the whole recorded incident as I watched the video. Well...placing aside the fact that it was the federal government that actually trafficked all of these illegals into the country in the first place, but that's likely better invoked later in the discussion as it progresses.

It took 6 cops to try and cuff him. He was OBVIOUSLY resisting.

If he hadn’t brought a gun in his attempt to interfere with law enforcement, he would be alive today.

If that federal agent hadn't violently and unnecessarily shoved a woman to the ground, Pretti would be alive today. That started off the chain of events.

How to say one knows nothing about photographing dynamic situations without saying it.

AI-enhanced images of Alex Pretti's shooting circulate online

Federal agents in Minneapolis fatally shot the 37-year-old nurse on Jan. 24, 2026.

Original frame grab.

This is how to say one knows nothing about propaganda plain and clear.

Enhancing the photo cut the man's head off and put a hand and a wedding band where it used to be, not to mention the following photo wasn't enhanced and the grandmother in it still didn't win the Boston Marathon, although she was there and did finish it.

We all know Pretti is dead, but pretending he was executed is simply propaganda.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Pretti was obstructing an arrest, that’s illegal

There was no reason to arrest the woman who got shoved.

 

[Bitterhook]

There was no reason to arrest the woman who got shoved.

The woman was shoved and so was Pretti, however the woman wasn't arrested and Pretti got shot.

 

[Deadstick]

There was no reason to arrest the woman who got shoved.

Didn't she have a lethal whistle?

 

[Bitterhook]

Didn't she have a lethal whistle?

Is it all a joke or just political bullshit to you?

 

[Deadstick]

Is it all a joke or just political bullshit to you?

It's far from a joke, the Woman was not being violent when she was knocked to the ground by a ICE Goon and Mr Pretti was not armed when he had ten 9mm rounds blasted into his back, then they lied about what took place, result another US citizen dead, if you don't see a problem with any of that then you really have lost the plot.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

I saw the video with sound.
He was resisting, someone yelled "gun, gun, gun" then "boom, boom, boom..."

I don't know the protocol/training they get. If someone yells "gun, gun, gun" does that authorize deadly force?

That is a serious problem with police procedures when they will yell "gun" with it only in a passive position. You know, once "gun" is yelled, practically always, the police are going to shoot to kill. There is a big difference between a gun in someone's pocket and a gun in someone's hand, yet the police have a one-size-fits-all approach.

The woman wasn't arrested, and it is tragic Pretti got shot, but you were asking about "lethal whistle" and that will never change.

His firearm wasn't even in his pocket, and his firearm wasn't the only firearm in the mix.

FBI statistics indicate that 52 of the 616 officers killed on duty between 1994 and 2003 were shot with their own firearm.
Here is an article from AP (linked through Police1) in 2005 talking about how that most likely will not change policy.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Ah. So they didn't check for a permit before he was unjustly executed by an uncaring government?

See? All you do is lie.

 

[Rambunctious]

Arrest the Mayor and police chief of Minneapolis... and do it today... charge them with manslaughter and inciting a riot....

 

[Rambunctious]

His firearm wasn't even in his pocket, and his firearm wasn't the only firearm in the mix.

Why on earth was he armed when confronting law enforcement?... if he left his gun at home he would be home with it today...
