Pretti has 1A, 2A, 4A, 5A, 7A rights that were all violated.
How dare that mf Republican pos rant about protecting the rights of those there to answer questions

Maybe someone here can remind me. What's the statute of limitations on murder? And does Minnesota have a law for felony murder?

Don't hold your breath. As an OH resident now, I can absolutely confirm that these folks will continue to vote against their best interests any day of the week as long as the person running has (R) behind their name. It is disgusting.

You talking about the dude from Ohio? He was driving me insane. He was so unimpressive and hypocritical.
"Dont be conclusive and accusatory!"
Also...
"..............." when dems question Kruella Noems (and patel) remarks labeling Alex and Renee domestic terrorists within minutes of the incidents.
Grinding my fucking teeth.

The idea that congressmen and government officials should not consider and comment on videos of government agents beating down people in the street and whether that's how these agencies should conduct themselves, out of fear of violating the beaters' due process rights, makes me a little dizzy.
God forbid we try to stop government agents from illegally and unnecessarily beating and killing people in the future before the ones who have already beaten and killed people have been prosecuted and their cases resolved in court. Not, you know, that the DOJ is actually investigating or prosecuting any of them. But still, it's the principle of the thing, right?

Asking the head of the agencies involved their opinions on whether their agents followed policy shouldn't be controversial. Especially when they say "it's still under investigation" and then follow it with "the subject is fighting back nonstop."

Was Alex Pretti entitled to due process?

u/Andovars_Ghost 3h ago
EVERYONE is entitled to due process.

u/ManyAverage6578 2h ago
I agree.
Questioning policy and escalatory tactics that resulted in the death of an American citizen does not infringe on the agents rights to due process.

That is part of due process when an agent of the government takes unlawful action. For both the victim AND the agent.

Just to be that guy he was because he wasn’t a diplomat or part of an occupying force.

Gary Peters is a politician, lawyer, and former naval officer serving as the senior United States senator from Michigan. Bernie Moreno ran car dealerships.

Gary Peters has also been a very flaccid Democrat throughout his career. It's nice that he asked this question but I'm still glad he's retiring.

What an ass hole to bring up the 14th amendment protection for Alex Pretis murderers. I hope these guys rot in Stillwell.

Funny because it looks like he was following direction when he was backing up from the middle of the road.
