What video shows in the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis

Posted on by Lone Candle

“An officer shoves a person next to Pretti. Pretti steps between them, holding his hands up as the officer sprays a substance toward his face. Pretti appears to be holding his phone in his right hand, and his left hand is empty.

Several more officers surround Pretti, bringing him to the ground near the curb as they hit him repeatedly.

Just before the first gunshot, one officer emerges from the scrum. The first shot is then heard, followed by more gunfire as the camera swings away.”

BREAKING: MN Shooting Victim IDed, New Video of Incident

Posted on by Lone Candle

It looks like ICE saw that the man was armed, and shot him. Being armed is legal, and just being armed doesn’t make someone a threat. ICE started the physical altercation with him and he doesn’t seem to be reaching for his gun or anything like that, although the video isn’t clear.

Like Renee Good, the Trump administration blatantly lied about the situation, giving us no confidence that the situation will be properly investigated. Blatantly lying about the state killing a citizen is a hallmark sign of a tyranny.

Why the Protests in Iran Failed

Posted on by Lone Candle

Iran brutally slaughtered its protestors. Up to 20,000 were killed.

Iran’s revolutionary guards are stronger than its regular military and they are loyal to the supreme leader.

Trump literally said that “help is on its way”, and many protesters said they expected Trump to help. When he didn’t, the ones that were still alive, felt betrayed.

A US intervention would likely cause a retaliatory strike, and the US wasn’t prepared for such attacks because it was using resources around Venezuela.

Local partner countries warned against a US intervention, fearing a regional conflict.

ICE Shot a 21-Year-Old in the Face and Blinded Him

Posted on by Lone Candle

ICE repeatedly exercises a gratuitous use of force.

Multiple ICE agents have threatened protestors by referring to the killing of Renee Good. These are threats to kill people by law enforcement, often for simply being annoying. The implications are more aggressive than simply, ‘hey, if you protest or/and don’t listen to my orders, we may possibly get into the situation where I have to kill you to defend myself.’ The implications are, ‘Keep annoying me or disobeying me, and I’ll fucking kill you like we did that woman.’

ICE Shot And Killed Her

Posted on by Lone Candle

Legal expert breaks down ICE agent shooting in Minnesota. The ICE agent acted irresponsibly at multiple moments and even shot at her as the car was moving away from him. But, law enforcement have a lot of grace for use of force. It’s not clear if Minnesota could prosecute him because he is a federal officer and the federal government is not sharing evidence with the locals.
