Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE I've synced up videos from both perspectives about as well as I can Audio from both is included They are both slowed down to ~.5x, zoomed in, and have their colors enhanced The captions are from the pink lady's video on the left

This is #AlexPretti He was killed today in #Minneapolis He was 37 year old US citizen, a son, a brother and nurse who worked for the VA. We should all be horrified about what is happening in the US. We need our elected officials to stop playing politics and start protecting lives.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.
