Them fucking bastards!
In an exclusive interview reported by The Intercept, the EMT said she could tell immediately that Pretti had a catastrophic brain injury. She says she identified herself, begged to perform CPR, and pleaded to get to him. On the audio in the video, her voice can be heard calling out decorticate posturing, the involuntary curling that can signal severe brain trauma. She says an agent held her back anyway.
Read that again: the person he tried to shield was trained to save lives, and federal agents would not let her get to him. Whatever you think about immigration policy, whatever you think about protest, whatever you think about crowd control, this is a basic human line.

(14,794 posts)They started with the brown folk because they knew most wouldnt complain and they could claim they were illegal.
Now they've moved on to protesters..
If there is not a change, the future is very grim. Voting, especially in a purple state, is likely to be a more dangerous experience moving forward.

(29,257 posts)The video shows one of the thugs repeatedly banging him on the head with what looks like a canister.
I hope the murder charge is coming soon.

(11,946 posts)That I've learned since that happened was what actually happened in those last moments.
I've never watched the full, unedited video and never will.
That said, they did shoot him 10 times but I was always under the impression it was in his back but it was not. They shot him multiple times in the head. They were trying to murder him. On purpose.
