Federal agents shot and killed a Minneapolis ICU nurse Saturday morning. By early afternoon, the White House had called him a terrorist. Within minutes, multiple videos surfaced that directly contradict the official account.
That contradiction is an enormous story unto itself.
On Jan. 24, federal law enforcement agents shot and killed Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. In the hours that followed, the Trump administration moved aggressively to frame the killing as a narrowly averted attack on law enforcement.
It’s difficult to watch the footage above and see Pretti creating fear in the half dozen ICE agents surrounding him, or the nearly dozen shots fired at Pretti being defensive, yet that’s exactly what Kristi Noem claimed.
There is a lot of rules in media law about wording. I know the country is shit and the media isn’t acting enough, but Trump has shown that he’ll sue for less.
Like most of America, the press is afraid.
Just do what fox news does in designate it “opinion / entertainment” and fucking blast away
