They were clearly standing in the street, blowing whistles, and blocking traffic. That’s obstruction. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The violent agitator brought a gun and 30+ rounds of ammo to a riot. He wanted to inflict heavy casualties.

I can only assume it’s out of dishonesty Quote Pretti is on video directing SUVs to form a barricade on the street, which is what prompted the first confrontation with officers.

We have to know who’s here and get the bad guys out first. It’s a shame Biden didn’t work on immigration reform instead of just opening the border. The following is just my opinion: It will take either an overwhelming majority of Dems in Congress, OR a Republican president to reform immigration. IMO the reason is sad but simple. All it will take is for one immigrant to commit a crime after immigration reform and the R’s will attack Dems on that for years to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
