The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

      Alternately: after choosing to openly defy her voting base and refusing to budge on Israel, is Kamala happy now?

      The DNC wrote a report on why the lost the election and chose not to release it. I wonder why. It’s almost like shitting on your base isn’t a winning strategy.

      And before anyone thinks otherwise, I did not sit out during the election. So take it somewhere else.

      Are the DNC fucks who refused to run a quality candidate or a quality campaign because that would upset their corporate donors happy now?

        It is our fault for not believing hard enough.

        If only we did not talk about a new deal the status quo campaign surely would have sold on empty platitudes and zero promises of reform and no friction between them and big biz stealing our lunch.

        Voters really want to get fucked by the super rich, as long as more concern is expressed and a few crumbs to the deserving fucked. /s

          The nation is filled with dumbasses. But also, it was gonna get here eventually anyway. “Being the lesser of two evils” DNC strategy just meant things kept getting worse even with Democrats in charge. Trump put kids in cages but Biden didn’t stop it. Obama killed American citizens with airstrikes. Every presidency was an escalation.

                She should never have been nominated. Any woman is going to have an uphill battle even if they aren’t neoliberal scum, but both Hillary and Kamala were also neoliberal scum, so they never stood a chance.

                And every time a neoliberal bastard is placed in office their overt sliminess will swing the pendulum even harder toward the next big-talking, face-eating, would-be monarch that comes along and promises to do something, even if the something is mass murder, mass torture, isolationism, and foreign and domestic terror.

              A lot of Americans chose “something different” over “more of the current shit that is slowly killing us”.

              Perhaps if they’d been offered another version of “something different” they wouldn’t have chosen Trump. Or maybe they would, because ultimately Trump embodies the real American dream for a lot of people.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki

              “He was assassinated in Yemen in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki was the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and assassinated by a U.S. government drone strike.”

              The information available shows he was probably guilty of some serious crimes but he wasn’t killed on the battlefield and under US law, he was innocent until proven guilty.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Abdulrahman_al-Awlaki

              “According to the United States government, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki’s father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by a CIA drone strike several days before his son’s death.”

              “Human rights groups questioned why Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed by the U.S. in a country with which the United States was not at war. Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, stated “if the government is going to be firing Predator missiles at American citizens, surely the American public has a right to know who’s being targeted, and why.””

      Well now I’m taking some solace knowing that libs who wanted to ignore the Palestinian genocide still think leftists are why they lost. Meet our demands next time I guess.

      Weird how you still want to blame leftists for having demands like ‘stop the genocide’ instead of blaming kamala for refusing to agree to such a simple demand. Kind of says a lot about how little Palestinian lives matter in your eyes.

        How little the next others matter. Palestinians are the start not the end, this is being brought home if it is not stopped.

        It always had to be stopped, for selfish reasons if you understand the situation, alongside the moral reasons.

      Not on us. For you it’s “better” to slaughter children than execute Americans, so you voted for genocide. For us, neither are acceptable so we voted for a third option.

      It’s on you for refusing to not support genocide and insist on voting for a nonviable candidate.

          You’re so disgusting.

          “I voted for genocide. Are you happy that it’s still being genocided?”

          You fuck off, and get off your high horse. Your comfort as an American is not more important than all the brown people you don’t give a shit about being slaughtered.

              There were, but they majority of the country choose silence and one of two genocide options.

              Hell, we could have accepted a democratic candidate, and all you had to do was pressure the party to not put up a candidate that listens to the voters on their most vocal issue, you could have joined the “undecided” movement to let them know you don’t accept a republican light candidate…

              Instead you shamed us for having a moral compass and screamed at us “do you want Trump instead?” while cheering for Kamala as she thanked Dick Satan Chaney for his service and promised the most lethal military in the world.

      I think they shifted to “Kamala would be doing exactly the same thing” and have now moved to “Trump would have won anyway.”
