Minneapolis Shootings (Bulgarian: Minneapolis Shootings)

The article examines the impact of ubiquitous video footage following the shooting of an ICU nurse, Preston Pretti, by federal agents in Minneapolis. The incident sparked controversy with the Trump administration’s initial claims, which were contradicted by numerous bystander videos showing a different sequence of events. Residents, urged by Governor Walz to “hit record,” extensively documented the confrontations, leading to widespread scrutiny and criticism of the government’s narrative. The proliferation of videos, shared across social media and news outlets, highlights a growing distrust of official accounts and the power of citizen journalism in challenging established narratives, particularly in situations involving immigration enforcement. The article also discusses how differing interpretations of the same footage, influenced by political perspectives, contribute to ongoing debates and the creation of parallel information systems.
