'What the F*ck Did You Do?!' Video Contradicts DHS Claims About Killing of Alex Pretti

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.





The agent appears to pepper-spray Pretti and pull him away from the other person as a group of several other officers approach and surround him.

They wrestle him to the ground and struggle with him for several seconds before he appears to try to get up. Roughly 10 gun shots ring out and Pretti falls to the ground.

“What the fuck did you do? What the fuck did you do?” yells the woman behind the camera repeatedly.

“Cowards,” said US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in response to the footage.

The video, said journalist Susan Glasser, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”


Cold blooded murder. Bovino, Noem, Chump, et al are ALL complicit in COLD BLOODED MURDER.

Wake up America.

"Another angle of federal agents killing a Minnesota legal observer..."

I assume we are all literate.

they are rummaging through his pockets. They are probably taking money they find.
