ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis

Rittenhouse is not applicable here. He went down to protect his family’s business from a marauding mob. This guy went to oppose law enforcement he did not agree with. This is not to say I’m defending the ICE agents here, but the two situations could not be more different

looks like we're headed for a government shutdown over this stuff. I guess that serves somebody's purposes.

The question I ask myself is which party is trying to serve the interests of Americans and which trying to obtain power? While I don’t always approve the methods, I think the answer is obvious.

I agree it’s obvious. If it wasn’t obvious to you in November of 2020 it certainly became so over the next two months.

Seems like the main difference is Rittenhouse’s exercise of his second amendment rights ultimately led to him killing someone whereas Pretti’s exercise of his second amendment rights led to him being killed by masked federal agents.

I'm afraid that my ability to distinguish between 'law enforcement' and 'marauding mob' isn't what it once was.

Was the first shot by law officers into the disarmed man's back as he was getting up? Or have I got it wrong?
Here is the instant taken from the video...

P.S. If yes, I'd call it execution
