:crickets: There is no link because Tim Walz never ordered The Minnesota State Police to stand down.

The video doesn't lie, but you are lying, he is clearly not assaulting her.

Apparently. And the NYT breaks down the timeline of the shooting with photos Sorry, this is subscriber content and I can't cut and paste the entire article. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti-timeline.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20260125&instance_id=170082&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=125207237&segment_id=214283&user_id=14502a7228c5a9b835a15627514bfe28 Timeline: A Moment by Moment Look at the Shooting of Alex Pretti

Link?

It doesn't appear that way from videos I have seen. He is walking towards a small group of civilians standing in the middle of a street where a person has recently been detained on the ground. The civilians are speaking to federal agents. Mr. Pretti appears to be filming the scene, and he walks closer to the federal agents while holding his phone.

That is a lie. None of the videos show him assaulting the woman the agents brutally pushed down. In addition: https://abc30.com/post/alex-pretti-shooting-video-what-know-minneapolis-border-patrol-agent-kills-icu-nurse/18470920/ A witness in a federal court filing said Pretti was one of three people pepper-sprayed by agents and was attempting to help a woman up when he was tackled by the agents.

Alex Pretti wasn't. He was just filming them with his camera phone, then helped to pick up a woman they brutally pushed down, then was pepper sprayed, tackled and shot multiple time. Can't see any obstruction on his part in any of this.

Obstructing them like Alex Pretti was by filming them with his camera phone?

Ten shots were fired per WaPo, but they don't say he was shot ten times, although it seems likely at close range. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/01/25/minneapolis-shooting-video-gun/ subsciber content only As many as eight agents were attempting to detain Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, videos show. One emerged from the scrum holding Pretti's gun, and less than a second later, the first of what appear to be 10 shots was fired.

Filming a protest with your camera is considered suicide by cop?

Minnesota has been the top trending news story the last 24 hours, maybe that's why there are 5 current threads about it...just sayin'

Pretti was simply filming them with his phone before they pushed a woman down and then pepper sprayed him as he tried to help her up...that is hardly harassing and obstructing them.

It wasn't a riot. He was simply filming a protest which is not by itself felony obstruction. Now you know.

https://x.com/drhossamsamy65/status/2015431487886172442 BREAKING: 2 Major Judicial Moves in Alex Pretti’s apparent Homicide: 1) Trump-appointed judge blocks FBI/DOJ/DHS from destroying or altering evidence related to shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis. 2) Minnesota just sued DHS over the Alex Pretti shooting, alleging that Federal agents tried to block Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) from accessing the shooting scene and took control of evidence before state investigators could examine it. This allegedly interfered with Minnesota’s ability to investigate potential state crimes, threatened the preservation of evidence, and raised concerns that federal authorities could withhold, alter, destroy, or conceal evidence unless restrained by the court.

It is a clip with AOC being interviewed on CNN by Jake Tapper. What difference does it make how many times it has been viewed?

Yes, I agree, it's terrible that it had to come to this. He was filming. He got pepper sprayed. He was trying to crawl away. They DRAGGED him into the fray, disarmed him. Put him on his knees, shot him in the back and then shot him again multiple times while on the ground He never once reached for his gun.

Congresswoman AOC on Pretti killing: "Donald Trump accuses a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) of being a terrorist against the US. A man who cared for the military personnel of our country, who dedicated his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth helped a woman who was lying on the ground. And they call him a domestic terrorist to justify his flagrant abuse of power, his absolute violation of the law, and to precipitate a larger conflict"

NYT update: Residents throughout the Twin Cities are setting out candles to memorialize Alex Pretti. A single flame flickered in a second-story apartment window. A row of votives illuminated the icy walkway of a house. Red and white candles are glowing on porches throughout the streets of Minneapolis.

From NYT: SMH. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Saturday, blaming him and other Democratic elected officials for allowing “lawlessness.” In the letter, Ms. Bondi demanded that state officials turn over records of welfare recipients; that local officials “repeal sanctuary policies;” and that the state turn over voter records to the Department of Justice. “The time has come for state and local officials in your state to change course,” she wrote. It was uncertain whether the letter was sent before or after the shooting.

NYT update: On the lawn outside Alex Pretti’s home in Minneapolis, two candles were nestled in the snow, their flames flickering in the chill of the night. Neighbors on his block had come together for a small, private gathering.
