Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

The new conservative position on gun control is apparently that lawfully carrying a licensed handgun means you deserve to be executed in the street by masked federal agents

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.
