In 2017, Kobe Bryant, who had just retired, was asked during Trump’s first term if he would have visited the White House had the Lakers won the title.
Kobe said he wouldn’t have made the trip.
“Simple,” Mamba said.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
The video of the incident shows that this WHOLE statement is a total lie. The man did have a gun, in a holster and he was a legal gun owner with a permit. He never tried to do anything with the gun. He had a phone in his hands and was doing video. The agents escalated it by detaining him for no reason and dragged him to the ground. They disarmed him BEFORE shooting him. He never reached for the gun. They had no reason to detain him in the first place. He was not impeding their "imvestigation." Various videos demonstrate all this. The official statement is a total lie.
I'm not sure the point of the frame by frame analysis of this execution. Why is a masked cop drawing down on a 37 yo lady in a Honda Pilot? Fed agents shouldn't pull guns on a middle aged woman unless she's a violent criminal or aiming a weapon at them. Just let her drive away
