He didn’t have his identification or permit on him so he was unlawfully carrying the hidden gun. Plus all those extra rounds. People who are too reliant on liberal international media keep getting this wrong.
Pretti didn’t deserve to die. He would have lived if he wasn’t armed, moved immediately off the road, or didn’t scuffle with the agents out of his blind hatred of them.
I also feel for the agents carrying out the law in an extremely violent city where they are confronted by armed extremists everywhere they move, eat, and sleep. They’re being threatened and violently assaulted, maimed for finding and detaining illegal foreign nationals, violent suspects and violent convicts.
It is a state-sponsored insurgency. And those responsible will not be held accountable, meaning the tactics will be improved on for the next time. I warned about this since nothing happened after the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots.
🚨I DIDNT WANT to do it BUT I have too.
You didn’t see this yet.
The narrative that “he was just filming and the officers got angry” is false.
The narrative that he was only trying to protect two women is also false.
He, along with others, was actively interfering with a legitimate law-enforcement operation. That is why officers moved them off the street.
That does not mean he deserved to die.
When officers attempted to detain him, he resisted arrest.
That does not mean he deserved to die.
He was armed and chose to insert himself into an active enforcement operation while resisting arrest.
That does not mean he deserved to die.
An agent called out the presence of a firearm. During the attempt to secure it, the weapon discharged before the agent could declare the scene clear. Other officers, hearing a gun call and a gunshot while a suspect was resisting arrest, reacted according to their training.
From their perspective, they were confronting an armed individual resisting arrest. That is why, immediately after the shooting, one officer urgently asked where the firearm was. He believed he had just engaged an armed suspect, because that is precisely the situation as it appeared in real time.
He did not deserve to die. However, his actions, his decisions, and his criminal interference were contributing factors, alongside serious failures by the officers involved.
I believe the shooting was unnecessary. I believe there were many alternative ways the situation could have been handled. I do not believe the officers were truly under lethal threat.
Recklessness on all sides resulted in a man losing his life.
Approximately 23 percent of ICE activity occurs in Texas, yet we do not see these outcomes there. Minnesota accounts for roughly 2 percent of ICE operations, yet has seen multiple shootings involving American citizens.
The difference is organized resistance. Blue states have coordinated efforts designed to insert civilians into active ICE operations to interfere intentionally and directly.
Interfering with law-enforcement operations is illegal, and it is dangerous. This is how people get killed.
Resisting arrest is illegal, and it is dangerous. This is how people get killed.
Within the Second Amendment community, there is a common saying: “I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six.” It refers to choosing survival over moral victory.
That same principle applies to interactions with law enforcement.
Would you rather be right, or would you rather be alive?
Make smart decisions when dealing with law enforcement. Survive the encounter. Then take the fight to court. Use every lawful platform available to expose misconduct. Name departments, supervisors, and officers. Demand accountability through evidence and process.
But interfering with an active operation, resisting arrest, and doing so while armed creates a predictable and deadly outcome.
Was it legal for him to be armed? Yes.
Should citizens carry lawfully? Yes.
Is it profoundly reckless to interfere with law enforcement and resist arrest while armed? Absolutely.
When we carry firearms, we accept greater responsibility. That responsibility was neglected here.
It is possible to support immigration enforcement while condemning reckless policing.
It is possible to criticize law enforcement while also acknowledging the dangerous behavior of civilians.
It is possible to recognize complexity, rapid escalation, human error, and shared responsibility in a fast-moving situation.
He did not have to die.
Liberty only survives when it operates within order.
Nothing about this situation was orderly.
When order collapses, lives are lost.
He did not have to die.
Love to hear a multi-millionaire telling Americans to stay home, not go to work, make and spend no money, in protest of an agency trying to rectify an open border that he had no problem with, when 10-15 million illegals streamed in unimpeded. Where were Ed Norton and President Clinton and President Obama and all the other pious liberals then?
Has a single Democrat stopped and asked why there is a level CHAOS in Minneapolis that we see literally nowhere else in America?
The answer is obvious, but they don't want to have that conversation 👇
🚨 NOW: DHS agents are CRACKING BEERS in the window of the hotel leftist rioters are terrorizing tonight in Minnesota
LFG, PATRIOTS!
Is there a fund I can donate beer money to? 🤣🍻
My support of ICE has changed over the course of the last 72hrs.
It’s increased 10-fold, and if yours has wavered, you’ve fallen victim to the propagandic arm of the left. Period.
Do you ever ask yourself how the media
is getting away with absolute fabricated
INTENTIONAL PROPAGANDA?
BECAUSE THEY CAN UNTIL WE REVISE
🇺🇸♦️THE SMITH-MUNDT ACT♦️🇺🇸
Which stops DISINFORMATION in its tracks!
Call it “The Charlie Kirk Act”!
DO IT!
America is the greatest country in the world. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Which currently has the greatest president in our history.
We just have some major cleaning up to do, starting with the RINOs and the Communist Democrats.
Oh, and all the illegal aliens.
