Pretti wasn’t at a protest but he WAS recording ICE. He had his LEGAL firearm holstered as he stood on the sidewalk recording. The Trump admin dunces keep asking who brings a gun to a protest? I would in turn ask is it legal to bring a firearm near a polling station?

Alex Pretti Killing in Minneapolis

Based on video seen (video begins about 3:30 in link) Pretti was helping a woman back away from ICE agents as she was being pepper sprayed by the agents. Pretti was using a GoPro or similar to video ICE agents at the time. The agents then rounded on Pretti and took him to the ground. Pretti appeared to be struggling with ICE agents as they were forcibly searching him.

One ICE agent can be seen finding Pretti 's gun (that he was legally entitled to carry) during the search, and took it from Pretti's person. It's unclear whether the safety on the gun was off or the agent switched the gun to 'fire' mode but the agent definitely and perhaps accidentally fired a round from Pretti's gun after taking the gun.

The muzzle flash of Pretti's gun in the hand of the ICE officer can clearly be seen in the video. The gun was aimed at the pavement and luckily that round did not hit anyone.

Meanwhile during the taking of Pretti's weapon, one officer shouts "gun gun gun!"...

Dnipro, Sunday 25 Jan, morning

It's cold in Ukraine still, this week will be another cold one, snowing again at the moment in Dnipro. We have never had this much snow in the 11 years I have lived in Ukraine, and it's certainly the longest really cold streak I can remember in Dnipro which is normally quite temperate due to the huge river.

For those who are interested, we are now sitting around 1.5-2 hours of electricity on, 10 hours off throughout Dnipro, and most of the country.

Attacks continue daily, and every day more energy infrastructure is damaged, more often now destroyed. Water pipes in the bigger apartments are freezing and bursting, why they haven't been drained I have no idea. Kiev is worst for this.

Dtek have stopped repairing after attacks if a lot of spares are required, openly stating the need to keep equipment for after a peace is declared, as they know after every repair, there is another attack. The dtek guys are hero's, I have said it many times, and always give them a tip when I see ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
