Family members say the man killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive care nurse at the Veterans Administration who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Trump's immigration crackdown in his city.
They told The Associated Press he was an avid outdoorsman who loved getting in adventures with Joule, his beloved Catahoula Leopard dog who also recently died. He had participated in protests following the killing of Renee Good, who was shot behind the wheel of her SUV by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Law Enforcement officer earlier this month.
"He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset," said Michael Pretti, Alex's father. "He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express that, you know, his care for others."
In a recent conversation with their son, his parents, who live in Wisconsin, told him to be careful when protesting.

“Man fatally shot by federal officer in Minnesota worked as an ICU nurse, his parents say”
... not anymore. Suicide by ICE.
Or attack LEO’s while armed. Can you imagine a Jan 6 protester with a gun and Democrats defending him?
Don’t care what he did for a living. He effed around and found out for a dying. Just wish they could have taken him out before he bit the agent.
Darwinism takes care of another less than full deck person. Bringing a gun to confront a large group of gun carrying men shows your time has come.
And shouldn’t jump on top of female protesters that he thinks is ICE
So above all of the things he loved, he loved murderers, rapists, robbers, child sex traffickers, slave traders, etc. more .... yep, we see where his real loves were.
what strikes me is that the rioters are reacting so violently to justified shootings of self defense, BUT NEVER engage in any violent protests of the illegal rapists who kidnap rape murder then dump their victim’s body in a corn field or whatever- or the illegal alien who gets behind the wheel of a car, no license, drunk, and murders someone’s husband, wife, sister, brother child- whatever-
[[he was an avid outdoorsman who loved getting in adventures]]
They forgot to add: AND Apparently loved ignoring police and ice agents and loved trying to resist and threaten them-
Well, he cared about people...except those people he disagrees with. Those he wants dead.
His attacking the officers was his ultimate act of love. He was Christ like. Loved his dog and his wonderful sacrifice led to an officer’s finger being bit off. Cared so much he wanted to make sure ICE couldn’t apprehend that wife beater.
Strange. The ICU nurses I know work long hours, are usually on call and have little free time for “peaceful protesting.”
Now he sleeps with his dog. How sweet.
Has a federal judge ordered him to be un-shot yet?
Dead men tell no tales. Neither do they contradict what is said about them.
In a recent conversation with their son, his parents, who live in Wisconsin, told him to be careful when protesting.

In his sexual position, on his knees.
The guy is almost 40 and they’re interviewing his mom and dad.
“He cared about people deeply...”
Like the ones killed by the illegal filth?
As for the ICE Agents self defense their shooting has gotten Pretti Good….
Sorry, is it too soon for that
