Except they took his gun and both hands were on the ground when they shot him

He never even held the gun. He had it holstered. They found it while wrestling him to the ground. His crime was using his body to block the Nazi Gestapo from assaulting a woman.

And just a reminder that it is legal to own a gun. I cannot speak to Minneapolis' carry laws, but I'm pretty confident that the punishment for breaking them does not scale up to the death penalty.

In Minnesota, you need a carry permit in order to legally carry (open or concealed). Reports are that Pretti was licensed.

Shot him, many, many times. That's an execution, period.

I counted ten. And the guy at the end who just dumped a couple more rounds into the immobile, prone body on the ground should be in jail right now, by literally any standard.

And (if we trust they didn't plant evidence), he only had a 9mm with 2 magazines. That's daily carry, self defense amounts of ammo, not massacre amounts.

said after he said as much lies about it as possible….
people might be able to stomach this if they admitted that the murder was wrong and they were charging the officer, but this “double down triple down” is designed to create violence….

Right, and I'm Mary fucking Poppins.
Though, the more innocent civilians you execute on the street, I'm sure the more likely someone will oblige you with a massacre.

Next step: DOJ won't investigate becuase ICE said so

I never thought that the USA would fall by invading itself.

One gun with 2x mags? That's pretty normal.

Oh shit, sounds like they really are coming for most Americans. The bootlickers dont count as American btw

So he's sure he can easily get away with covering some goons who commited murder. Something seems wrong here.
