It would be weird if they didn’t. When aren’t the fucking lying?
henfredemarsAlso, it’s completely legal to own a handgun. And even if you were brandishing it you should still be subject to due process.
If you’re too much of a coward to face someone who may or may not have a gun in the most heavily armed nation in the world then you aren’t fit to work forces.
HegarSurprise surprise, the fascist death squads are lying about their murders.
A straight-up execution. He was held down on the ground by multiple agents while another agent repeatedly shot him at point-blank before other agents also joined in the shooting.
This was an execution.
This is Fort Sumter, 2.0
That’s not what he said. He said the investigation would be the same as how they’ve been done over the past several years. I don’t recall any real investigations in the past several years.
There’s no case for self defence here. These guys weren’t fearing for their lives and the situation was under control. There was even a spare ICE agent available to raise his arm and block people from coming any closer to the scene before they did the execution.
Video contradicts another lie that is good by liars.
Can someone link video for me? I’m not opening up x.com
You can find them all here. There are quite a few angles and it’s abundantly clear that it was premeditated murder.

Yeahhhhhh
Idk what else to say man. Gonna go distract myself from the impending doom
Go meet up with orgs that oppose and start building solidarity.
Its incredibly graphic. Much more so than the videos of Renee Goods murder.
The same tactics Israel has applied for decades on the Palestinians.
“Trump admin creates lies about Pretti’s execution despite multiple videos clearly showing what happened.”

Why is that not unreasonable? I mean, by that logic why bother with step one? Why not just assume anyone who is resisting has a weapon and murder them?
Officers always assume that a suspect could be carrying a deadly weapon especially if they are non-compliant. This is why concealed carry classes focus on that interaction with such detail. As a carrier of a concealed weapon you have to use judgment first of all to avoid conflict and subsequently to reassure the officer that you are not a threat. This is how you facilitate a peaceful disarming and ensure you are not killed.
Reddit is for licking jackboot. This is lemmy.
I disagree with how everything is being handled. Regardless putting yourself within arms length of an antagonized, politicized and armed law enforcement agency with a concealed firearm is stupid. It just is. Nothing changes this calculus.
I’m not part of the Lemmy hivemind. Dismiss logic with whatever slogan you feel like using. You haven’t refuted anything.
Not brutal enough for you. No question mark because it’s not a question.
Emotionality.
Fuck off
Drink bleach
And what will you do when ICE are patrolling the polling stations to stop “illegals” from voting? Better not argue with them for your right to vote, that’s how you end up in a body bag.
If a rabid pit bull was out in the streets attacking the elderly and children, ripping their faces off, you’d be telling everyone to just stay back and make soothing sounds, or offer it a treat, rather than trying to stop it before it does more damage. Self-reflect a little bit and do better next time.
These guys always bring out the possibility of another weapon like it justifies cowardice. Deal with what is there’s not what might be there.
It’s like dealing with children you lack so much awareness
I don’t care about the down votes. People just need to relax and avoid walking right into an ICE raid.
These need to overthrow your government is what they need to do. Whatever it takes, no holding back.
I’m not American but I’ve held the view for several years now that the democrats and republicans need to be permanently removed from power. The two big parties must be banned. We may have different reasons for it but what matters is that the political system doesn’t do any good.
