What do we see when we see ICE agents murder Alex Pretti?
If you watch the video of Alex Pretti being murdered by ICE agents, you’ll see several things.
You’ll see Pretti recording ICE agents, which is legal and constitutionally protected.
You’ll see Pretti keeping his distance and not interfering with or threatening the agents.
You’ll see Pretti trying to help a woman who was shoved to the ground by an ICE agent.
You’ll see Pretti pepper sprayed and then forced to the ground and restrained by several ICE agents.
You’ll see an ICE agent remove Pretti’s gun, which he was legally permitted to carry.
You’ll see Pretti — now restrained, on the ground, and unarmed — get shot multiple times by ICE agents.
In a press conference, ICE’s Greg Bovino calls Pretti “an individual [who] wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
But if you choose to watch the videos of Pretti’s murder — and I don’t blame you if you don’t — then you’ll see that Bovino is lying through his teeth.
Trump and his administration desperately want you to ignore and disregard what you can see with your own eyes and instead, buy into their lies, fabrications, and accusations.
They care nothing for the truth because the truth is not on their side.
