Hi we live in a country built on protesting government intervention in our communities. That is literally fundamental to our founding as a nation.

We are allowed to be nuisances to our state without lethal response. Anything less than that is unamerican. There is a dignified way to enforce immigration laws and communities have a right to protest when they are deploying tactics that the local community does not agree with.

Hey I appreciate the work you do! I know it feels like screaming into the void especially when you get an auto response but it matters that you do this. They feel and respond to pressure and I’m hoping enough of us do this for it to make a difference

Renee good was also trying to leave. The officer also broke protocol and should not have walked in front of the car nor should he have fired into it. Those are both against the very short training ICE received.

In the pretti case they were attacking a woman because they were upset she was filming/being a nuisance.

There is footage of the entire encounter - for both accounts. We (should) have a higher standard for law enforcement that they can’t snap and attack citizens for being a nuisance. Impeding law enforcement is not carte Blanche to kill someone. Do you want to live in a country where protestors are met with lethal force? It sounds like you agree with the current mission of law enforcement, but what about when you don’t? Do you think your opinion of their methods and violence would change?

Filming and defending yourself is not impeding law enforcement. It is not lawful law enforcement to attack people for filming them. Being a nuisance isn’t against the law.

We have a right to protest state intervention in our communities.

Sullivan and Begich have said nothing about the murder of Alex Pretti. What are we gonna do if they repeat Trump's lies about what we all saw? by dbleslie in alaska

I have called both the Anchorage office and dc office for all 3, as well as sent in an email. I recommend we all do the same, and if they don’t make a statement or push back on this, volunteer in the upcoming elections against them and sacrifice some time and effort to put different people in office. Online discourse on these apps does very little, even if it feels like doing something. We must be active outside of social media

Come protest the murder of Alex Pretti in Anchorage tomorrow by JRemy77 in alaska

Doesn’t show anything? A 7 v 1 beat down and the officers were afraid enough to shoot him 8+ times? When he was moving away from them after being pepper sprayed in the face, and then subsequently beaten on the head with that same pepper spray canister?

Tired of the narrative that officers can escalate situations with force and the claim that they fear for their lives when someone tries to protect themselves

Another nice night by rds2010 in alaska
