George Floyd - career criminal involved in numerous violent actions
Michael Brown, the "gentle giant" who was an upstanding citizen except when he was robbing convenience stores and attacking cops
Renee Good - just your average lesbian mom minding her own business
Alex Pretti - kind, caring nurse who loved everyone except when he was spitting on ICE and breaking the tail light on their van.
Sen. Rand Paul on Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis: "I don't think it's honest to say he brandished a weapon. I don't think it's honest to say he assaulted officers."

The shooting of Alex Pretti looks like an unjustified act by the ICE agents. As a pro-life rescuer, I've been involved in civil disobedience attempting to save babies from abortion and their moms from a lifetime of regret. I was arrested about a dozen times and spent time in jail in Alexandria and Arlington, VA and in Buffalo, NY. On several occasions during the rescues, the police acted in anger. Once when I was sitting on the ground I was picked up by two officers and thrown onto several other rescuers who were hurt. At that same event the police were on horseback and they pressed the crowd who were standing against the building to the point that the crush of bodies caused the window to break. Fortunately, none of the rescues I was involved in resulted in serious police brutality. Unfortunately that wasn't the case in other places.
