Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent this weekend, suffered a broken rib during a previous encounter with federal officers, according to a report.

A week before his death, Pretti, 37, had a rib broken when a group of federal officers tackled him as he was protesting their detention of other people, sources told CNN.

    I don’t give a fuck if he had contact with them every fucking day for a year. He was murdered by a fucking fascist boot licker.

      The point is that this indicates it may have been premeditated and he was targeted when they recognized him.

      THAT is much worse than the shit show we already have.

        And is confirmation of many concerns of them cross correlating disparate databases in order to target individuals they have a vendetta against.

          An organization coordinating like that to target individuals for retaliation also seem to start to get into things like RICO.

          And before some dumbass comes in here talking about “no because government”… The courts have removed qualified immunity for less in the past.

      I don’t think fascist book licker is a strong enough term to convey what these individuals are. Something like “Nazi pedophile” might be better, even if it’s just by association to their owners. They need to know who they truely are.
