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.

    Seattle had some big protests yesterday in solidarity with Minneapolis after Renee Good’s killing.

    That was already happening before the latest ICE murder.

    That said, there should be a whole lot more places taking to the streets than there currently are.

      There should. Trump (thru his Reichsleiter Pam Bondi) is demanding voter rolls from Minnesota only then will ICE be withdrawn. As if the red alarms went already going off - this is all in advance of the midterms later this year. He’s starting in Minnesota and Trump’s Gestapo ICE will target all the swing states. I don’t know how America gets out of this. If people understand and don’t like what’s clearly going on.
