EXCLUSIVE: A controversial former assistant police chief, known for his sometimes far-fetched conspiracy theories, now claims to be working with the Trump administration and to have been given access to still-secret grand jury indictments. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"
If only we’d had a sign back in 2016 that Trump had authoritarian impulses that his supporters loved. Like, I don’t know, enthusiastic chants of “Lock her up” aimed at his opponent, or something hypothetical like that.
Let’s try this one in foreign correspondent voice:
State Security Forces Arrest Journalist Who Covered Protests Against Regime Official
I guess we're just arresting journalists now.
We now know that Alex Pretti was a violent agitator who repeatedly went out armed to deliberately instigate physical confrontations with law enforcement. He is not a victim. He was not a mere “protester.” And he got what was coming to him. Simple as that.
This is pretty much the knee-jerk response from the MAGA grifter class tonight.
The punishment for kicking in a taillight is execution 11 days later.

Bash asks Bovino what evidence he has that Pretti intended to harm agents.
“He was there,” Bovino responds.
Goosebumps
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Meanwhile, Greg Bovino has said at least twice now with zero evidence to back it up that the victim intended to massacre law enforcement and inflict maximum damage.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"
Many of us have been pointing out that the readiness with which these agents have drawn weapons, and gotten their fingers anywhere near the trigger, is WILDLY contrary to best practices and the sort of thing that inevitably leads to people getting shot.

from what I can see, the video shows a beating followed by an execution.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.
Ellison: "This was a family taking their kids from an athletic event and they ended up getting caught in the middle of the ICE behavior & protesters, & then, inexplicably, they shot tear gas too close to the car & that caused the infant to have some respiratory problems. CPR had to be administered."
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
Around 200 protesters are gathered in north Minneapolis after a federal agent shot a man in the leg during an immigration operation.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.
All the major right wing influencers all posted the same thing at almost the same exact time. Very clear they have a signal group chat with the White House where they coordinated the talking points.
the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens
That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right.
I've slowed the video down here.
Alpha News is a far-right site run by the wife of the former head of the Minneapolis police union.
Whoever leaked this to them thinks it makes Ross look good.
Which is just astonishing.
Safe to say, we are all tired of ice
