I agree that her comments about what the agents were thinking are opinion and speculative. Given the reason why she was at the scene, I’d take it with a dose of skepticism. imo
Yes, a supposed law enforcement officer violently shoves a non-violent woman down to the ground. A caring non-violent man moves to help the woman up off the ground. All this done on slippery, snowy ground right next to a vehicle. The man is grabbed, pulled and sprayed with pepper spray in his face from less that a foot away. While he continues to hold onto the woman trying to get to her feet, who ultimately has to scoot on her bottom away from the agent and pepper spray, the helpful man is torn away from her and jumped on by numerous agents. Thrown down to the ground, the man is now bludgeoned in his face with a large pepper spray metal canister. The man is on his knees, bent over forward, his arms being held on both sides. Almost at the same time the non-violent man is disarmed from behind of his legal carry gun. A BP agent scurries away with that gun as the prone non-violent man is shot in the back, by two agents, 10 times. That's what I see in reviewing the videos, MOMoo..are there other countries that deal with their people this way? The things I did not understand was why person was pushed, and then then the spray. Worst thing for me to watch was the guy just bashing him...I don't think that's legal. Hate to see how they treat those they do arrest
US agents involved in latest Minneapolis shooting put on leave, MS NOW reports
Federal agents who were involved in Saturday's deadly shooting of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave, MS NOW reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed source.www.reuters.com
Yup, yup. Agree 100%. Jonathon Ross also didn't administer aid to Renee and made the "wrap it up" motion with his hand. That's who we're dealing with. Luckily there are eye witnesses and video for both. The physician eye witness to Alex's murder confirmed they didn't attempt CPR. And others have said they were rifling through his pockets and counting bullet woulds (pink lady coat eyewitness). Barbaric and disgusting.
You don’t have to take her word for it, it’s in sworn witness testimony that no one was able to render aid at first to Mr Pretti (they did finally let this physician in to help) and that the agents themselves did not render aid to him, as they kept him on his side instead of moving him to his back and starting CPR. It’s all right here in the official testimony they gave.
An American citizen isn't allowed to exist in their own town? Since when?

Alex Pretti did not brandish gun, witnesses say in sworn testimony
Pair testify that Pretti did not hold weapon and was trying to help woman federal agents had shoved to the groundwww.theguardian.com
I would actually agree with you, I don’t think random people should be able to enter a crime scene to render aid in normal situations. However, the agents themselves weren’t doing it, and didn’t seem able or willing to do it, and it seems they realized it was an extremely grave situation since he was shot 10+ times so they eventually allowed the physician to assist.
If this is ICE protocol, it's completely wrong and broken. They can't be trusted with guns, let's have them carry tasers instead, and take off their masks, wear name badges with ID numbers.
That’s your interpretation.
They've also increased daily arrest quotas. ICE’s tactics draw criticism as it triples daily arrest targets
Those were questions. You implied something about the witness with your comment. BayouBelle LA said: "Given the reason why she was at the scene, I’d take it with a dose of skepticism. imo"
Forcefully entering homes without a judicial warrant, stopping and pulling people (in many cases citizens of the US) out of cars for no LE probable cause reason/judicial warrant, violently treating them as criminals when they resist and a lot of times carting them away, mostly out of state (some of those taken away are children).
My state also has a "Real ID" that can get you on a plane and (as listed) even get you entrance into a nuclear facility. That is not acceptable if ICE stopped my car in my state. I would need a passport or a birth certificate, maybe both.On a FB of my friend, a group of US-born FB users was discussing what documents should they get/have. (Not everyone in the country has a passport. People were scared.) In my state, there is an enhanced driver’s license that we got to drive to Canada. It is a valid proof of citizenship which is currently available in five states: MN, MI, WA, NY and VT. Ohio is going to introduce it, too. MOO, the whole country should probably use them.
But tbh, I would be concerned about the need to take passport everywhere. Passports may get lost or stolen.
Profiling is a true problem. How is ICE in Minnesota going to explain this?
Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention
The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota said three of the four tribal members detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week have been transferred to an ICE facility and called for their immediate releaseabcnews.go.com
Three of the four natives arrested by ICE in Minnesota have not been yet accounted for.
They are Natives. They can’t be deported. And they are unhoused, and might be sick. Where are they?
With the Natives, we have one more obvious problem. They have dual citizenship: tribal and the US one. Tribal cards I have seen, they are small. Would that be enough, or do Natives have to get passports now?
