Therefore at the time of the subject’s murder, he actually was *not* armed. # May his memory be a revolution

This is literally the kind of situation that conservatives had nightmares about in the 90s, and now they’re cheering it on.
M
They lined up to be the tyranny in droves.

Cheering it on and or wearing the jackboots themselves

Here’s the footage from the woman in pink: [https://xcancel.com/ryangrim/status/2015132217878384791](https://xcancel.com/ryangrim/status/2015132217878384791)

P
Maga(ts) will say a lot of things We know by now it’s all bullshit
F
*They* don’t even believe what they’re saying. They’re given talking points and they repeat them dutifully to keep their shared narrative going. ICE could behead babies and these freaks would cry about how the officers were under threat.
C
People don’t realize that the conservative platform is based off faith that what they’re told by their masters is true is true, regardless of reality.
B
Correct, video from the woman on the sidewalk shows him being disarmed by Ice, then disarming ice agent screaming “he’s got a gun” multiple times. ICE officer then draws his firearm then shoots him, causing panic and more shots from other ice agents on an already disarmed and now shot person Edit: another newly released video does in fact show the victim shielding someone who was knocked over by ice from a more clear and close distance. Victim was not an aggressor in the sense of confrontation to ice, victim was attempting to shield another citizen from pepper spray and physical force who was attempting to “interfere” with ice. What makes this the most chilling is even while getting attacked by ice, he jumped on top of the other citizen in attempt to protect them while getting hit, sprayed, and struck in the head by an object. One last edit: I’m now unsure if he was attempting to protect that woman- he appears to jump on them “protecting” her from the opposite street view which is blocked by Ice agents. From that angle it looks like protection, from pink jacket recording it seems like he’s dragging them by force into the street.
Z
Conservatives live in a fantasy. Whatever comes to their sick minds is what the believe, no matter how much evidence comes out to disprove them. They are in a cult
R
The right is the enemy of all life on earth. Treat them as such.
T
He didn’t even have his gun on him when they shot him. They took his gun away AND THEN EXECUTED HIM.
B
He had a camera and his whistle in his fucking hands
K
He was helping a woman who was pushed down by ICE. Those thugs are pure evil
Q
Not just pushed down. They were both sprayed right in the face too Edit: to anyone in the “he shouldn’t resist crowd” show me one person who would just lay down after being sprayed directly in the face, violently shoved around, beaten in the head. He was trying to cover his own head and protect himself, a normal reaction to the situation.
C
“Just comply with be being illegally assaulted bro. ” The right without any sense of irony.
O
I remember when conservatives used to fear federal agents taking their guns away and putting them in FEMA camps, lol. How things change.
J
The “beatings will continue until morale improves” crowd. US citizens better do more than protests cause it ain’t working and your government sure isn’t doing shit
L
Imagine if someone had tried to do that with the fat white hillbillies who barged into the Capitol? Why didn’t law enforcement start shooting those inbreds hicks on sight?
E
Brutally assaulted
P
Executed
E
I guess “comply or die” is the new “Don’t tread on me”.
K
He’s also not doing anything fucking wrong…
K
Wait I thought they were part of the government that wanted to protect women…
L
By protect, they mean rape and force them to give birth.
S
It’s The handmaids tale coming to reality 😢
S
by protect women the mean ” protect females that are in breeding age so we may protect the white race” literally just tacking on a few words to the 14 they already follow.
I
Ice will say those agents were immigrants. Maga is a mental illness Edit:https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/QZk7NBlYwA. This after helping a woman ice push to the ground. Maga. Ffs. What is wrong with you? Did a trans man ever shoot a kid 8 times at a book reading? Why are you ok with this? I know why And I understand. I just want you to figure it out. And fuck you snowflakes
B
Licensed nurse, and there is evidence that he was a VA healthcare researcher ETA [link to source](https://govsalaries.com/pretti-alex-j-176893518), multiple of his studies for the VA are being circulated now if its the same guy, based in the Minneapolis area
P
Federal employees murdering a federal employee seems like a new level of tyranny.
F
I don’t consider the J6 insurrectionists and Proud Boys hired by Trump to terrorize people to be federal employees. They are a deputized but lawless gang that is shitting on all of our constitutional rights.
D
He was indeed a VA ICU nurse. I and many of my colleagues have worked with him. He was a great person, and the VA is in shambles.
A
This is an absolute travesty. An ICU VA nurse, who was unarmed, attacked and shot dead – and he was your colleague and friend. I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss that will be felt by others that knew him and would’ve been helped by him at your work place. This never, ever should have happened. 😞😢
1
You are correct. This **never, ever** should’ve happened. Even **if** someone were to be someone who entered the US illegally there’s no reason they should be shot. Murder suspects and rape suspects are treated better than that. I knew Trump was horrible even before the first election, but is hard to believe this sort of thing would be allowed. It amazes me how many lawmakers don’t care about the actual law or the Constitution.
J
He was caring for others until his death. That shows the kind of man he was and will live on as in many hearts.
S
What a tragedy, saw the video where he was trying to help the women pushed…

Very good angle to see his hands and that he was unarmed on the ground.
Z
I mean the other angle all show that that was clearly an execution but with this video i can not imagine anyone woth a working braincell saying otherwise. We can clearly see both his hands infront of his head and his pistol taken away before the first shot happened. That is bye far the most important video. Everyone pls downlaod it and repost as soon as it gets taken down.

Everyone download and share these! Supposedly the pink video especially is getting removed everywhere

This one is most important; it shows that both his hands were in front of his body and that he wasn’t holding a weapon.
P
And he was simply trying to protect a woman who ICE had already unnecessarily shoved to the ground. Once again, they escalated every step. There is absolutely nothing to justify this.
L
The woman in pink deserves so much credit for her bravery. She was clearly terrified (as anyone would be) and risked her life to continue filming.
N
It speaks volumes that he did have a gun on him, and yet he didn’t think to go for it. He just wanted to help that woman. He’s the actual exemplar of a responsible gun carrying citizen and they fucking killed him.
