I think it would take a hell of a lot for Pretti to lose his cool.

I also would like to know why this is being pushed far and wide by the likes of the NY Post? Is kicking an ICE vehicle a death penalty offense now?

As KewlKat posted here, as I suspected, the conduct of the agents that provoked his response was egregious.

https://sahanjournal.com/public-safety/minneapolis-ice-confront-observers-door-knocking-powderhorn/

In a video taken by Sahan Journal, the woman can be seen arguing with agents prior to being grabbed by multiple agents and carried to agents’ vehicle. The woman can be heard shouting that she is disabled and on her way to a doctor’s appointment that ICE was obstructing. Prior to the detention agents had instructed her to drive away.

Shortly after, another observer on site was tackled and forcibly put in agents’ vehicle as well. According to state Rep. Aisha Gomez, DFL-Minneapolis, who was present at the scene, agents pushed the man’s head into the concrete prior to carrying him away. Gomez also said that agents were physical with her as well.

“These officers have obviously not had the basic law enforcement training,” Gomez said. “I was shoved with no verbal communication whatsoever.”

Andy Larson, a south Minneapolis resident who was out observing ICE activity Tuesday, told Sahan Journal that one protester kicked out the taillight of an ICE vehicle and was tackled to the ground up the road on Park Avenue and E. 36th Street.

“It was a really good kick,” Larson said.

But even if he did kick out the lens on the turn signal, it doesn’t mean they get to track him down and execute him
