    Trusted vs. accurate........big difference. Anyone that trusts PBS or NPR (even the NYT's these days) simply doesn't know any different. They are sheep.

This reminds me of the cover Bush Lite used to invade Iraq and that Israel used to invade Gaza and that Trump used to invade Venezuela that the real legit reasons do not exist so lets create tangent connective bull crap excuses so we can go forward with military objectives which do not exist. I would rather that ICE jump on a plane and invade Somalia than to keep with these minority hunting schemes meant to divide society and get mid term elections secured while spending MORE on defense and military. Nobody seems to notice or care that our government is spending on useless zero return objectives rather than attempt to show fiscal restraint or at worst fund to support the lower income or improve the grid, roadways etc...no lets give more cash to our pals at Raytheon and Northop instead.

    So what is the partisan narrative for ICE killing Alex Pretti? From what I have read the guy did nothing at all deserving of multiple shots taken and killing him. What bothers me quite a bit is that the FEDS are not allowing local investigation of the scene, nobody is allowed to process or take evidence to bring justice for yet another dead civilian at the hands of these agents who have no place being there and their presence is actually creating the environment that legally trained law enforcement agents are there to diffuse and to protect citizens not to kill them.

    Pretty sweeping and uneducated nonsense right there Mugg, but given your aggressive and blind partisan view it is not shocking.

    I trust PBS and NPR much more than I trust Fox News and I am not sure why even if we ride with your extremist narrative that it is awful to look at a DIFFERENT perspective than the one you are singularly allowing yourself to be involved with. Are you afraid to view an alternative perspective and actually use balanced and critical thinking to see what you can gain from a different view?

     It's because I've watched a lot of different broadcasts & I've seen a lot of different viewpoints. It's very narrow of you to suggest that, because you disagree with someone else's POV, they don't see a broad picture of how news is presented/misrepresented/slanted/spun. Even our local affiliates toe the leftist line of their respective partners.

    @THEMUGG

     Your PBS/NPR comment was the cat there, how could anyone post that about those two organizations? There are more liberal outs than those two so given you seriously think that is a bit sketch to me and shows you are very closed minded. I follow all perspectives including probably the most ultra conservative place out there which is Zerohedge. I find some value with their content but for sure I am not against viewing other perspectives and you for sure broadcast you are not.

    It all falls on the democrat leaders telling their people go out and stand up to ICE, and those same leaders stay inside they don't go out and get up in the face of ICE agents.

    i agree, I don't see a gun in his hands either from video I've seen, but at the time of your post and my post none of that information was presented.

     

     

    What it looks like happened is that while the agents had him on the ground they saw the weapon and the agent panicked and pulled out his weapon and shot him...he essentially thought he was neutralizing the situation by eliminating any possibile way for the guy to use that weapon against him and the other agents..wrestling situations are chaotic..Does seem to be an overreaction to the situation, but he was involved in an officer situation and put himself in that scene with a weapon on him...doing so is the problem..doesnt justify being shot but we are not the officers on scene and being put in that situation in a hostile environment...anyone of us could panick as well and do the same thing that agent did...it's stressful and these agents are being followed around, recorded and interfered with and whether you or disagree with ICE and its operations it is not wise to be intersecting yourself into that..

    if it were my family I would be telling them to stay far away from these agents and not putting yourself in a situation just so you can capture phone footage.. protest all you want, but do so away from active officer scenes....when is this message going to resonate with people...its only happening because peopl are thinking by interfering they are making a difference and they simply are not...its a shame people are being shot and killed but if you weren't there on scene at all this would not be happening...these people are not news reporters and you are putting yourself around officers that are already in a sketchy situation...bad choice in my opinion even if it's legal to do so...make better choices and not leave your life in the hands of some officer who may just shoot because the situation is developing at a rate which can be difficult to process...or, keep doing what you're doing and expect more deaths...life's about choices...

    COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean

    Why do things always have to be so partisan w you ? 

    I can simply point out the facts and understand why a 2nd shooting like this occurs.  A local police force that is unsupportive of ICE efforts, combined with a hostile public that inserts itself into ICE efforts, combined with an unwise decision by what should be an educated person (  a nurse)  to bring a gun to a volatile environment.   A CCW permit or not, combine all these factors and you get what we got yesterday. 

    And guess what ? More is to come until state/ local officials back down and begin to support the lawful efforts by ICE to extract illegal aliens from our population

    Your post is pure bs like usual, just another maga trying to defend trump. Yes we should all just drop our pants and let these piece of crap untrained right wing goons destroy our country. Maybe thats what silver spoons do in life, but our country wasnt built because our people stood silent, like your telling people what they should do.

    I called you from the beginning that you are a trump supporter and it stands today, no matter how much you say your not.

    Lmfaooo telling people not to get involved, instead let these goons become even more lawless. If you like living under a dictatorship, theres lots of countries you can think about moving to

I called you from the beginning that you are a trump supporter and it stands today, no matter how much you say your not. Lmfaooo telling people not to get involved, instead let these goons become even more lawless. If you like living under a dictatorship, theres lots of countries you can think about moving to
    i guess you don't read very well...thats what hate does to you...you must of missed the part where I said go ahead and protest just not where officers are involved in a scene...I mean go ahead and do so and put yourself in that situation but its not wise to do so and look whats happening..

    The problem with you is you are a label maker that no one wants as a gift...it gets regifted and regifted until its thrown away...you're a lost cause with your deranged daily rants while secretly supporting Trump and magas...you cant fool me..

    COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean

    When i read posts like this, it reminds me of being a little kid arguing with your buddy over whos got the better bike. Thats what you are doing now as an adult by saying my news media is better then yoursan_roll_laugh Might be time to become an actual adult and realize other people can be right about things. I know thats hard to grasp, cause magas believe they are the only ones that are right and the country should be run how they want it to be run.  Pretty selfish thinking

    @ABooksNightmare

     Exactly.......people make choices every day......some good, some bad........& they have varying degrees of consequences. Some people let their emotions get the best of them & cease to think of the consequences of their actions. Just because some elected clown is encouraging you to aggravate LE doesn't mean you have to........& it sure isn't smart.

I trust PBS and NPR much more than I trust Fox News and I am not sure why even if we ride with your extremist narrative that it is awful to look at a DIFFERENT perspective than the one you are singularly allowing yourself to be involved with. Are you afraid to view an alternative perspective and actually use balanced and critical thinking to see what you can gain from a different view?   Fox news stated it themselves that they are not a news station  Their digital version is a little better for actually reporting news not just partisan opinion like their cable crap but it's still all far right maga cheering partisan crap there too

    Fox news is not registered as a news organization. They are registered as an entertainment organization, thats why they get away with the bullshit they get away. Maga morons are dont have the brain power to understand the difference between the 2 organizations. This is why magas love and eat up THE WWE. They cant get enough of that fake wrestling entertainment and the same way they think wrestling is real, they believe what fox news says is real. Its a real shame magas didnt pay attention in school.

        Why do things always have to be so partisan w you ?  I can simply point out the facts and understand why a 2nd shooting like this occurs.  A local police force that is unsupportive of ICE efforts, combined with a hostile public that inserts itself into ICE efforts, combined with an unwise decision by what should be an educated person (  a nurse)  to bring a gun to a volatile environment.   A CCW permit or not, combine all these factors and you get what we got yesterday.  And guess what ? More is to come until state/ local officials back down and begin to support the lawful efforts by ICE to extract illegal aliens from our population

    Your wording is 100% the problem. ICE should be SUPPORTING local efforts, not local efforts supporting ICE. Trump made absolutely zero effort to collaborate and respect local authorities and then you wonder why local citizens and officials are concerned. You cannot SUPPORT someone when they do not work with you and especially when they are supposed to be the ones supporting. Isnt the entire mantra of your TNC/GOP platform that states control, states rights and states making decisions? Or is that just when it serves your agenda and when Trump tramples on states rights that it is justified and appropriate?

    Again complete misunderstanding of protocol and training and procedure. Citizens are to be supported, guarded and protected by LE not that if a citizen has a gun in their pocket and is directing traffic that means they get shot or that an unarmed female who reacts makes a move that she gets shot. These guys are not doing what they are supposed to be doing. This is not Russia this not Saudi Arabia where the LE rules with an iron fist and if you make any move LE feels as incorrect that you might die. The onus and full responsibility is on the LE to do every single possible thing in their power to NOT take aggressive actions against the public, to do all in their training and power to take any other action possible. That is NOT happening here and that means these ICE doods have no place being there.

    If a LE rep is not trained not following protocol and does not have the required respect for the citizens they are meant to protect then they should NOT be there. Priority ONE should be to support and protect the public, ICE missed that memo they are completely failing at making a situation better, they are making it worse and much much worse.

    Ridding the country of criminals that are here illegally IS supporting citizens....protecting the public. They aren't there for their health or to harass American citizens, they're there to arrest & deport illegals that have broken our laws. The poor bastads that buy into what Walz & frey are selling are just complicating the action. Again, if local LE had just worked with them then none of this would be happening. It all comes back to the actions of the crooked local officials that ordered this.

    But if that is the metric used they are doing an awful job - Obama administration send way more illegal immigrants out of your country (and according to you 20 million extra have come in after Obama) - Btw if the videos shown over here are correct where ICE deliberately try to create a situation and escalate it - where they deliberately tries for you to ramp their car etc. you are way worse of than what you see in Russia - they don’t escalate things - they just have strict rules where if you don’t follow them you get in trouble - so there a “hide” and out of sight out of mind attitudes actually works 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep
