The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Not everybody who supported Trump and MAGA was a bad person at the start. But MAGA is a jealous god. It demands its supporters descend a path of degeneration to utter moral ruin. Police death squads today; who knows what tomorrow.

1/12 Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying! -ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting. -The man NEVER drew his gun. At the 0:06 second mark we see the man’s hands on the ground covered in large gloves. His hands are empty.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

This is one of the best, frame-by-frame breakdowns here by Brenna Perez of the Minnesota ICE shooting, proving without a doubt that ICE agent wasn't in danger, and he murdered Renee Good. Make sure everyone sees it. https://t.co/qtWzy2ywdA

The US is now doing the kind of things we used to make fun of banana republics for doing when I was a kid. I know not all the people who supported this man are idiots. Is there a point where the non-idiots say "enough is enough?"
