Alex Pretti, the man who was shot and killed by federal ICE agents, was a 37–year–old intensive care unit nurse who worked at a VA hospital. “Pretti was a US citizen born in Illinois who had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a handful of traffic tickets.”..

You (and AP) conveniently forgot the part about him brandishing a loaded 9mm handgun and fighting with federal agents who were trying to disarm him.
Ed Response: Try reading the AP report – it clearly lays out the agent’s talking points which you provide in your comment – and which are disputed by eyewitness reports and cell video.
” forgot the part about him brandishing a loaded 9mm handgun”
That doesn’t seem to be a fact in evidence. Who told you this? What made you believe them? Will you continue to?
It’s so funny how fascist sympathizers like to discredit sources like the AP and Reuters.
‘No, no, only MY news source is trusthworthy?’
‘Which source is that?’
‘Fox and OAN’
You realize that the Associated Press basically IS the news, right? Even Fox News, the purpose-built propaganda arm of the GOP, sources from AP.
To understand how propaganda distorts the truth, feel free to watch any of the multiple videos. Pretti never ‘brandished’ the weapon he kept in accordance with his 2nd amendment rights, he kept it in his rear waistband at all times and never touched it with his own hands. The ICE thugs took it from him and shot him from behind.
They had zero training on how to handle a situation like this. They completely fumbled their communication like the idiots they are. And as a result, executed a peaceful person on the street.
You’ll reject all of the above, despite video evidence supporting it, because you’ve succumbed to the regime’s brainwashing that has convinced you to be just find with the government executing dissidents in the street.
You’ll claim this is not fascism. But you’d be wrong.
Tom, pal, bud, Give your head a shake and open your eyes.
