This is probably not going to be a popular post. I don't care, I really need to say this, flame away and down vote if you must.
Pretti made some very bad decisions that day. Bringing a handgun to this mess was a irresponsible act as a gun owner, legal or otherwise. I won't go into all of the reasons for saying that.
Physically interfering with ICE is simply said, the act of a fool. Doing this while carrying a handgun is in my opinion an incredible possible fatal endeavor. One can say FAFO. And if you feel that way, I will say you're right....
The city and I'm pretty sure the entire state is making sure that there is zero cooperation law enforcement wise in securing a perimeter during these illegal alien extractions. Sadly it's their constitutional right to do nothing. I think we all know why there's no help to keep the peace during these missions. Again, I won't go into all of that.
The ICE agents involved in this terrible shooting made mistakes. It was mishandled in the worst possible way. The man was already disarmed. Now I know that the job that ICE have to do especially given the opposition put in front of them is a dangerous stressful undertaking. Of a magnitude that I'm sure I can't even begin to comprehend. These guys are being doxxed and the useful idiots are already there when ICE arrives. There's funding for all of this and cooperation in many ways from corrupt anti American entities.
The communists in my opinion, have finally gotten what they really really wanted. Another maurter. There's a big difference between the Good and Pretti shootings, let's face it. This most recent one was just plain wrong.
Trump has to get in front of the cameras right now and make a statement. To delay this is a huge mistake. This is potentially a guarantee that the midterms will be a disaster for Patriots. In my opinion Trump has to say that it looks bad and that there might be charges brought to involved ICE agents.
From what I have seen, this was a completely unjust shooting. From the first shot to what? The eleventh shot? I understand, the heat of the moment and fear and stress... But there was a huge mistake made.
Thanks for letting me voice my opinion on this matter.
That particular gun is known to misfire and for that reason some police have stopped using it. It is possible that it discharged on its own. We need to withhold judgment until we know if that happened. I've seen angles where it looks like a bullet from that gun hit the ground.
The officers had to make a split second decision. When you shoot in what you perceive to be a life or death situation, you do not fire just one shot. They are trained to fire until the threat is neutralized. So while you feel uncomfortable with the number of shots taken, it really has no bearing on the case.
Gotta say, if i think its my life or yours, I'll empty the clip to make sure you don't pop back up and kill me. I have zero issue with this situation. I saw zoomed in video that appeared to show the gun in his hand. It doesn't look like a phone to me, unless you hold YOUR phone and it has a v shape. Grip in hand and barrel angled 90° - thats what it looked like to me. Also saw reporting that his family asked him not to go. He deleted all his social media footprint before heading out.
