In all my firearms training classes, spanning 20+ years, with law enforcement in the classes, plus Navy Seals, federal agents, sheriff deputies, special forces operators, Texas Supreme Court justices and more, spanning everything from pistols to rifles to long-range precision shooting, the #1 lesson every instructor taught us was, "YOU are responsible for every round that leaves the muzzle of your firearm."
Every member of law enforcement knows this. The ICE agent that shot Alex Pretti owns every round. And if he dispatched those rounds into a human being who was unarmed and did NOT pose an imminent threat of serious injury or death to other agents (since Pretti was on his knees, disarmed and being beaten in the face by other ICE agents), then the shooting of him was a legally unjustified shooting.
Literally every member of law enforcement knows this. They've all been trained with this principle. Every veteran knows this. The only people that don't know this are the low-information conservative influencers who really don't know much at all about firearms, combat or law. They've probably never trained with law enforcement or soldiers. I have. For years. I know what they're taught on this point, and they all know, 100%, this was a bad shooting. Trying to cover it up and say it was Alex's fault only makes people seem more uninformed and irrational.
Federal law enforcement agents do NOT have free reign to shoot anyone they want. They are required to follow the law. Yet now, under Trump, there is no rule of law, and ICE functions as a violent gang that seems willing to massacre anyone, for any reason, while wearing masks to protect their identities and prevent accountability, even though they are supposed to be working for the people of America. That's not acceptable. This escalation cycle of violence that's costing American lives must be halted. Removing illegals from America is an important action, but there are better and more effective ways to do it that don't require shooting and killing Americans in the streets of America's cities.
Dark chocolate or blueberries? You don't have to choose.
Dark chocolate (75%+ cocoa) delivers flavanols that support heart health, while blueberries shine with anthocyanins for brain and metabolism support. The real win comes from combining antioxidant-rich foods for broader, more powerful protection against cellular damage.
