I watched it multiple times and they just executed that guy. They just unloaded the entire clip into the body. Fucking hell that's just gruesome.
At some point for these highly insecure "warrior alpha" types: "stopping the threat" just turns into jacking off with excitement.
I'm trying really hard to see how this could be anything else than a straight up execution. It's hard to see any way that dude could be threatening the life of anyone here. He's shot on his knees with his hands down looking away from the shooter (granted the footage we have here it's kind of hard to tell just cause there's so many people). There's footage of him talking to the agents before just holding his phone to record and then they start shoving him. There's also 8 bajillion agents beating the shit out of him right before. The woman's footage from the other side of this will show a ton if she was recording.
Anyways, I look forward to hearing how this heroic agent saved the lives of all his fellow warriors during this altercation. Hope the agent recovers from the assault safely and quickly in the hospital...
Edit: few things, someone pointed out the agent in the grey coat disarms the victim and runs away with his weapon before he's killed which I did not see at first.
Also, second lady's footage is now out and it doesn't show anything different than a bunch of thugs beating the shit out of this guy and then killing him.
Her footage (NSFW)
From this it seems more obvious to me that they saw a gun on him (I think I hear the agents shout ‘gun’) and they panicked and shot. Lack of training and discipline. Just horrific.
Why they unloaded the rest of the mag when he was clearly incapacitated I don’t know. Total lack of respect for human life.
This is outrageous, and there should be swift justice.
