I agree that the Pretti guy was actively antagonizing iCE, for
days/weeks before his incident - while legal, being armed in a
protest situation certainly requires the carrier to be extra
vigilante to not get in situations where the weapon might be seen
as a threat... and it was eventually SEEN as a threat.
HOWEVER, I think border patrol is in hot water over this one. Pretti
should not have been shot in this situation, IMO; it was a bad
shoot. I don't care about some accidental misfire - he never used
that weapon offensively and the LEOs were in the wrong IMO. While
I don't think he was 'legally protesting', I think the investigation
will come to the conclusion that the LEOs were in the wrong.
i've seen all kinds of videos, even ones where people say you can really see better from 'this angle'. it looks like a big mess of people fighting. i could have put his hand on his gun and that would bed enough to be shot.
the bottom line is if he didn't do that shit he'd be alive now.
if you fuck with people with guns you will get shot, right?
That's the way i've always seen it. i dont run at police and spit on them.
i had one give me a bugus ticket and i didnt create a fuss and get arrested.
All that being said, both Minnesota as a 'sanctuary city' and the
group of anti-iCE people are putting LEOs in a very bad way... if the
state and local LEAs would have worked with iCE from the get we'd
of never got to this point. This all points back to we have to stop
this stuff is happening all over. in another state there was a threat at a school and this lady thought the regular police were ice and she was blowing an airhorn and alerting the perp at the site. this was in maine.
state and local LEAs would have worked with iCE from the get we'd
of never got to this point. This all points back to we have to stop
being divided, talk to eachother and compromise for the betterment
of our country... AGAIN.
people want to be divided. more importantly liberals want to be divided.
they think if you are not like them you are evil. you are a nazi if you aren't one of them who actually beats people in the street and scratches swastikas on cars. :D it's funny but it's sad.
