Alex Jeffrey Pretti, fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis.
Different uniforms. Same pattern.
Militarized enforcement, unchecked power, & deadly outcomes are not failures — they are features.
Thank you #NBPA for standing up and speaking out.

This is not the space for blaming the victim, excusing violence, or treating police brutality like entertainment. This page centers impacted families and community safety and care.

Even if it sounds constitutional, it won’t protect you in reality. This approach can escalate encounters with police —and people have ended up incarcerated or even killed.

Even if we agree with the rest of what you’re saying, reckless misinformation, dehumanizing language, or advocating harm will get comments removed.

Early narratives matter.

Early narratives matter.
In the early hours after a police killing, almost all information available to reporters comes from police sources. That initial narrative often shapes public perception long before independent facts emerge.

After a police killing, the same institution controls the scene, the evidence, and the initial narrative. Independent review often comes later — if it comes at all.

In states without the death penalty, the state claims it cannot execute people through the courts — yet police are still permitted to impose death on the street without trial or due process. That contradiction rarely gets named.

Qualified immunity is about power, not protection.

Why does due process even exist if officers can execute folks on the street with impunity?

People use extremes to excuse everyday violence. Those events are rare, and officers lack context in a split second. Someone could be defending themselves. There may be unknown explanations. Every life deserves consideration — force should never be the starting point.

Noncompliance alone is a minor offense—usually a citation or low-level misdemeanor. It is not a felony. When harm follows ‘noncompliance,’ the escalation comes from officer choices, not the law.

We get similar comments frequently. Use-of-force training prioritizes officer fear, not civilian life. A system built on fear produces unnecessary deaths.

This comment was submitted by a self-identified retired officer and is really pretty infuriating. When police threaten to stop responding unless they get immunity from the law, that isn’t public safety — it’s extortion.
