Sauerkraut News

Sauerkraut with cabbage, red onion, and shredded red delicious apples. The sugar from the apples is making this batch as gaseous as a fat guy at a chili cook-off. One more week to go.

ICE Shooting in Minneapolis, Part II

 

     There doesn't appear to be any justification for the ICE cops to push the woman down (legally considered assault), then when Alex Pretti comes to her aid, the cops start attacking him. He is almost immediately pepper-sprayed and then wrestled down to the ground by what I count as seven ICE-holes. It's also impossible to discern what purpose these under-trained federal cops are even doing in the city besides tear-gassing peaceful protesters.

     My question is how is a suspect suppose to calmly follow police instructions when he's just been pepper-sprayed in the face. I'd love to see a cop show me he can raise his hands up after this, or calmly lay on the ground, not that the cops had any reason to detain him. 

     Once again, the president immediately began a campaign of misinformation and lies, as did the DHS  secretary Kristi Noem:

In the aftermath of the killing, which was recorded by multiple witnesses, the Department of Homeland Security released an image of a handgun, which Donald Trump referred to as “the gunman’s gun” in a social media post. Kristi Noem, the DHS secretary, said at a briefing that Pretti had “approached US border patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun”, though she later declined to say whether or not Pretti pulled the gun out.

Once again, The New York Times has the definitive analysis of the murder of Alex Pretti. It also proves that the response by Mar a Lardo and DHS were simply outrageous and slanderous lies.

I was wondering how the 2nd Amendment crowd would view this murder. Seems like the NRA isn't going to suck up to Mar a Lardo on this lie.
