“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do

DO NOT. Take inspiration from my art. Let it linger not in your mind for more than an instant, lest my intellectual property is stolen away by your greedy consciousness and my soon-to-be-successful business enterprise is thus killed in the womb. Let my art pass before your glazed eyes without so much as a stirring of emotion, a moment of reflection. See and feel nothing.

people try to make the issue about a detail like being armed: the guy shot by cops had a pistol! Rittenhouse carried a rifle across state lines! but most people aren't autistic (admiring) about abstract principle in that way, they support the armed guys who are doing something good and oppose the armed guys who are doing something bad, obviously! whether you believe someone is doing the right or wrong thing is upstream of your judgement on every other issue.

[gamer2002]

False equivalence. Rittenhouse didn't cross the state lines with a gun and his possession of a gun was deemed lawful. People were inventing events and misinterpreting laws.

Pretti was conceal carrying without ID, and that was unlawful. There is also a subject of duty to inform. And that begs the question if his intent was to obstruct with illegally possesed firearm, and if the officers could reasonably assume that he was in the process of firing a gun or potentially reaching another one he could have. Which is something that the investigation should look into. This isn't a detail, it is a core subject that will determine whatever the shooting was justified or not, which is why people should wait for the result.

But the permitting chaos to occur local police chief is already insisting it won't matter if the investigation will prove that the shooting was justified. Because he got the result he and Walz wanted when they refused to cooperate with ICE and prevent obstruction from occurring.

[jambeast]

Whether or not he had ID seems kind of irrelevant to the officers who didn't ask for his ID before they tackled, disarmed and shot him, and even if somehow they knew he was missing his ID then the lack of ID in of itself wouldn't be reasonable grounds to claim you were in fear for your life, especially after said firearm was removed from his holster (where he had not touched it) after he was tackled to the ground.

Also, looking it up, according to https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/terminology/general-terms/duty-to-inform/, Minnesota only has a Duty to Inform insofar as you're supposed to answer a cop when they ask you, not to proactively tell them before they do anything - though it's not like he really had time to tell them anything while he was struggling slipping on the ice and getting tackled.

It's not like a traffic stop where the officer pulled them over and sauntered up and said "hi how are you today, just noticed you had a broken tail light, mind handing over your drivers license? Any guns in the car?" - Everyone involved was too focused on not falling over on the slippy ice!

I mean it's possible that aliens used a special mind control ray on the ICE agents or the demiurge magically rewrote all of the different phone recordings at all the different angles to fuck with us but the Doubts that the shooting was unjustified just Aren't Reasonable if you are pretending to care about rules or fairness or it being bad for the police to murder your political opponents. If you think it's just kinda based when people on red team get to dome people on blue team then it's a lot simpler.

[gamer2002]

I like how you ignore the part that the police chief is telling us that he doesn't care about the investigation result. You also don't, clearly, so stop being laughable with your projection of bias just because I told people to, the audacity, wait for investigation.

And every conceal carry training in existence will tell you one thing: you do not ever fight cops with a gun on you. The moment cops discover you are hiding a gun from them while resisting arrest is the moment they can reasonably assume that any sudden movement toward your own body is an attempt to pull another hidden weapon.

Now tell me if you are going to call for the police to cooperate with Feds executing known and democratically established laws, or are you kidding yourself if you think anybody buys that you don't want chaos and bloodshed.

[jambeast]

I like how you ignore the part that the police chief is telling us that he doesn't care about the investigation result.

As I said, it's possible that the investigation could turn out that an evil wizard cast a magic spell to conjure an illusion of the events that we saw and actually the 3+ video angles were fake, but discounting arcane intervention - really?

do not ever fight cops

He wasn't really fighting cops, the extent of his action was walking between a cop and another protester a cop was shoving over. He didn't really have any time to do anything else before getting pepper sprayed several times and falling over on the slippy ice.

hiding a gun from them

Again, Minnesota does not have Duty to Inform unless asked. Surely it's the whole point of a concealed carry permit that you are permitted to carry a weapon in a concealed way. Any police operating in Minnesota ought to know that!

they can reasonably assume

It is not a reasonable assumption that anyone with a conceal carry will have multiple teeny tiny handguns hidden all over their body, and that even if you've disarmed them of one handgun, then any following wiggle (likely brought about by the slippery ice, pepper spray, and five different dudes jostling him about) should be intepreted as deadly intent that you must react to by magdumping into their back.

Lots of americans conceal-carry; it's really not THAT suspicious of a behaviour! You can't shoot them all, they're like 8% of the country apparently!

any sudden movement toward your own body

He wasn't really making sudden movements, mostly just slipping on the ice with his arms on the ground and being jostled by the ~5 different men all simultaneously either grabbing him or hitting him.

He made *one* sudden movement, at the end, after he gets shot in the back and all the people grabbing him get startled and jump back in surprise and let him go.

are you kidding yourself if you think anybody buys that you don't want chaos and bloodshed.

The only chaos and bloodshed I'm seeing here is ICE picking fights with protesters at random with the most transparent of reasons, beating the shit out of them in a messy and chaotic way, and then magdumping into them while they're prone on the ground held down by multiple people! Literally shedding blood! That's chaos and bloodshed!

[gamer2002]

Since you are an all-knowing god that knows what is in the head of every person you watch on the video you should propose to have your abilities scientifically confirmed, so we could rely on you to solve crimes more efficiently.

Until then, there is an official investigation procedure of us mortals to rely on, no matter the amount of snark vomited by you. And even after then, given that you are incapable of admitting that it is scandalous for the police chief to outright say that it's irrelevant that even if the investigation proves justified shooting, especially when said police chief has blood on his hand due to chaos he permits by refusing to cooperate, I don't think your level of bias makes you exactly trustworthy. Personally, I don't find you deserving of trust, blame that on your love of acting like a nasty smartass first and foremost.

It appears the the all-knowing god doesn't realize that sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE are 590 more likely to have violent confrontation with ICE. Or maybe that god simply doesn't care.

Anyway, regarding the gun, I already told the OP the difference between this case and Rittenhouse. The court/investigation won't see this as a detail but as a core issue, one that is in favor of ICE. It won't matter whatever you liked or not liked what Petti did, only what could be reasonably perceived by ICE agents. Though his lack of ID does make his gun possession unlawful, which will add credentials to any testimony from the agents that will paint him as a provocateur or troublemaker.

Maybe Petti really didn't want to do anything bad and he was just ignorant about laws. But that does not rule out that agents could reasonably perceive otherwise.

Until that it cleared out, I'll maintain my position that people should wait and case with such idiocy:

[jambeast]

it is scandalous for the police chief to outright say

It's funny how much you go on about that off-handed comment where the police chief says some vague politician-speak line about "damage already been done" next to scandal of the ICE spokesperson saying firmly and clearly that he 'violently resisted' and they were 'Fearing for his life and the lives of fellow officers' and 'fired defensive shots' and 'an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement'. That's pretty scandalous! Much stronger claims then! Both vastly stronger claims and also vastly falser!

As far as statistics go, yeah, violent encounters with ICE are more likely to happen in places where ICE is than where ICE isn't, and they are more likely to flip out and murder protesters when there are protesters protesting them than when there aren't any protesters around for them to murder - that's the fault of ICE for murdering protesters, not on protesters for protesting!

[gamer2002]

Has the local police chief purposefully made it more likely that ICE will be forced to resolve to justified lethal force? Yes or not.

Has the local police chief made a public statement where he holds against ICE using justified lethal force? Yes or not.

Is the situation where you can answer "yes" to both above fucked up? Yes or not.

Anyway, now we have learned more information and it turns out that Pretti was an armed lunatic who was repeatedly attacking Federal Law Enforcement.

17 minutes mark.

So we have a case of a violent man who should have been charged with felony 11 days prior and be disarmed, but was allowed to further endanger the streets, just because the local police chief thinks that he's Mao Zedong and armed felons he enables are his Red Guards.

This further will solidify any account from the agents that they have perceived Pretti as a threat. Either way, Federal Law Enforcement shouldn't be deployed to hostile zones where corrupted police chief wants them to be repeatedly attacked by lunatics with guns.

I expect an apology for being subjected to ignorant snark and for insinuation for supporting murdering political opponents when I was making a sensible call for waiting for more facts to emerge.

[jambeast]

A week before he was pinned down, disarmed and shot 8 times in the back he shouted at a protest and kicked a car?

You realise you can't kill people for that, right?

I'd almost understand if he had a history of killing police officers and was on the run for a random murder spree(but even then, you shouldn't even shoot that guy if you literally already have them disarmed and on the floor) but he shouted at a protest and kicked a car. That's just pathetic.

I keep trying to remind you guys that you're supposed to say "The Officer Was In Fear For His Life And Fired Defensive Shots To Prevent Imminent Bodily Injury" and you keep saying "He was protesting ICE and committed some minor criminal mischief and if you do that against ICE then ICE should get to kill you.
