"Federal immigration officers have been collecting personal information about protesters and agitators in Minneapolis, sources told CNN-and had documented details about Alex Pretti before he was shot to death on Saturday. It is unclear how Pretti first came to the attention of federal authorities, but sources told CNN that about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals."
"So, assuming that DHS is lying its bureaucratic ass off-which always is a good assumption-at least some of the overripe guys in masks stalking the streets of Minneapolis knew who Pretti was before anything happened last Saturday. (Keep the phrase, malice aforethought, or "premeditation" in mind.) And then there's the new video of Pretti's killing in which the last shreds of the official government story are, well, shredded. There's no "riot." There aren't enough people on the sidewalk for a decent hockey fight."
Minnesota law defines first-degree murder as causing death with premeditation or while committing certain felonies, punishable by life imprisonment. Federal immigration officers collected personal information about protesters in Minneapolis and had documented details about Alex Pretti before he was shot. About a week before his death, federal officers allegedly tackled Pretti during a protest, breaking a rib; DHS denied having a record of that incident. Video of the killing shows an ICE officer approaching Pretti and initiating violence; colleagues then swarmed him while onlookers pleaded. Multiple shots were fired in two bursts, raising questions about premeditation and excessive force.
