BellingcatAlex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, on January 24. DHS claims he died after an armed struggle, but videos of the incident appears to contradict that claim.

dwntwnT@Bellingcat and the F B I Dir said on tv "a person who shows up to a protest w/a loaded gun (2 magz) did not come to be peaceful". Since the man was legally carrying and there was no indication he ever went for his weapon, the majority of shots fired at him were in the back, I guess idk why that was even said.

Lee@Bellingcat So it's pretty clear that DHS murdered him.

â@Bellingcat if by armed struggle they mean masked armed men shot a guy in the back, then yeah

Tattered@Bellingcat ââŠappears to contradictâŠâ FFS.
mtnrbq65I expect better from Bellingcat, but do you have concerns about the authenticity and the analysis?
If so, then 'appears' is reasonable, but otherwise , 'our analysis and the video contradict the government's narrative'
@mtnrbq65 @Bellingcat I have concerns about creeping fascism. The use of the word âappearsâ is a poor choice, in that it provides legitimacy to the government narrative.
If it is not yet clear, at the point that non-violent protesters like Ms. Good are being murdered in the streets, and hundreds have disappeared from detention, there is no middle ground anymore.
I understand that organizations have a responsibility to the law, even when the lawmakers are no longer responsible. I think that the clause containing âappearsâ avoids taking a side that needs to be taken, and which could have been taken comparatively easily, without losing professionalism, by the simple removal of any reference to the Trumpist narrative.
@mtnrbq65 @Bellingcat
Try this:
â DHS claims he died after an armed struggle.â No evidence has been released to support this claim.
Factual? Better?

random thoughts@Bellingcat It was a summary execution.
Valentino@Bellingcat Iâm sorry for what happened and keeps happening there in the US guys itâs really a shame. You should definitely do something about in the sense of some countrywide protests or something. Very sad whatâs happeningâŠ
xs4me2It was a murder, an execution actually... like the previous...
This should never have happened, and it should never happen again. Those responsible need to be held accountable...
Frans Veldman â± á”á” á”âżá”â±á¶ á”đ©The only difference between the Iran regime and the Trump regime is the number of protesters they kill, but Trump is hellbend on improving on that.
Shame on this bastard. He should have been in jail already...
Starrwulfe.LOL@Bellingcat what is with y'all and this phrase "appears to"? I can "appear to" levitate if you take a picture of me jumping.
The videos full on contradict ICE's statements. That's it, that's the headline.
Y'all are supposed to be better than this-- even the New York Times stopped saying this already.
Ron Bowes@Bellingcat they bald faced lie while you pussyfoot around with language like "appears to". You're allowed to report without two-sides-ing the fascists
