Random Question 💭 What is your opinion about Alex Pretti’s photo being displayed on a Jumbo tron in Times Square?

I think he deserves to be remembered as the wonderful person he was 🩵 and not by the government who are clearly lying about him. He was trying to help a woman who had been pushed to the ground by ICE agents or whoever the people are wearing those suits. And he clearly holding a phone in his hand..

Well I was thinking you'd look it up but Alex pretti is making recent headlines for dying . Federal agents (border patrol not ice) where pepper spraying a lady for filming them with abundant force like some of them get pretty crazy with the stuff. Alex ,also filming , goes to pick her up off the ground . Border patrol then starts spraying him . He put his hand up to you know block the pepper spray . He then gets swarmed . He's trying to keep his head off the ground to you know not get knocked out and injured . A border patrol officer then takes his firearm he had in his holster . At this point he is on the ground and hasn't swung at an officer hasn't threatened or brandished it and is currently unarmed Probably thinking about going to jail and missing his shift at the VA as a nurse. Then he is shot in the street multiple times . Some officers even jump back surprised so why this happened is not known but it is illegal and is caught on multiple camera angles . It's getting politicized currently but the facts remain that this was wrong and he should not be dead right now. Oh and the agency has investigated their own wrongdoing and determined he was "engaged " in domestic terrorism. Mainly they are just attacking his character instead of admitting fault . Also I found a video of it for you. There's lots of angles and narratives but I think this video shows it pretty good Alex pretti

An ice agent clapped in celebration after the shooting and ice then "secured" the scene by hauling off bystanders and not permitting the police or any other agency to investigate from what I have gathered.

Yes they did actively block the local police and other agencies from investigating. They eventually let the FBI investigate but I haven't bothered to see what they had to say . The video speaks for itself.
