All I've heard so far is that he "had a gun". Even if this is true, holding a gun is not a crime. This was a fucking execution.
It was in his waistband, at the small of his back. You can see an agent lift his shirt and take the gun, then you hear the first shot. Agent with his gun runs away, other agents magdump on the man.
*MAGAdump
I bet that idiot got him shot because the rest of them didn't notice it getting taken then freaked out when it was gone
Watch the video, straight up murder, they had already pistolwhipped him, he was done.
well ya but I think this comes down to a bunch on undisciplined idiots as well as whatever hate is also there
Did you see them scamper like rats when he fired the shot
it's too bad it's attached to a murder because that was honestly funny
Latest angles show the gun had been removed and the other agent had enough time to see. Also the suspect was face down on the ground before he was shot in the back.
He was held to the ground and executed
I watched the video, I can't tell which agent shot the guy
There are a lot of videos. I think the guy that initially pepper sprayed him and another protester is the one that also shoots him 4 times in the back. Then I think another couple of shots came from others afterwards.
They shoved a protester to the ground. The guy tries to help them up and is repeatedly pepper sprayed along with the other protester. They then gang on him while he continues to try and help the protester. They then have him on his knees, another one hits him repeatedly in the head with their pepper spray can when the initial guy puts up his pepper spray can and pulls out his gun and shoots him in the back.
Exercising Constitutional rights is now a capital offense in The People’s Republic of MAGAstan.
Free speech? Death.
Free assembly? Death.
Keep or bear arms. Death.
Privacy? Death.
The gun appears to be taken from him before he was shot based on the video screencaps here https://imgur.com/a/ice-taking-victims-holstered-gun-before-shooting-started-NtnH5Hv

No criminal history. A lawful gun owner with a valid conceal carry permit.
An ICU nurse who studied at the University of Minnesota. Brave ICE thugs, boldly murdering poets and nurses.
That pretty much confirms he was innocent and they murdered him.
Ah they can fuck off with their fearing for their lives. Cowards, and they need to fear more.
At this point maybe they should be getting reason(s) to fear for their lives because apparently you can be on the receiving end of nothing but peaceful protests for weeks, hell by now it's many months in places, and still fear for your life.
Also, this is the USA, we are allowed to have guns as civilians (for better or worse). Just being in possession of a firearm should be be a fucking pretense for murder.
ICE is just begging to get shot and they're going to deserve it when it finally does happen.
People said "if you show up armed they wont start shit like this"... Well here you go, that doesnt work at all. If there is no peaceful way to stop them from killing you, then literally the only option left is to shoot them on sight.
Get fucked, bootlicker.
Wtf? I was just correcting the person before me that using the word "holding" can be misunderstood. Using the word possession is clearer that he may have had one but not in his hand.
Sure but that's not what happened. We see that an ICE agent disarmed him, removed the pistol from his back waistband area while he's on the ground getting beaten and pistol whipped on the head, AND THEN they shot him.
Go fuck yourself, fascist. Don’t speak on shit you don’t know about.
Again... I was just correcting the person before me that using the word "holding" can be misunderstood. Using the word possession is clearer that he may have had one but not in his hand.
I am not a fascist, I am 100% against them.
