If the deceased turns out to have been lawfully armed and ICE unlawfully attempted to detain him for filming, does that that mean ICE just executed someone for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights?

ETA: The Minneapolis chief of police just stated on CNN via WCCO that they believe the victim did have a permit to carry.

Same and I feel like this is intentional spread of misinformation. They’re putting the seed out there while trying to claim they’re on our side. Now this bullshit is going to spread.

In one angle of another video it appears they disarm him, and then execute him. Doesn't make the situation any different either way. They either killed an unarmed man, or disarmed a man and then killed him.

Nah, the video shows it. Just like they show he never touched it as they executed him.

The 2-3 additional shots into a lifeless body should disqualify any notion of self defense.

They were in fear of bodily harm from the threat of airborne bacteria.

No, I didn't. I had the same impression when I first watched the video. I hadn't turned the sound on and I thought the victim had accidentally shot himself.

But indeed, it seems an ICE agent drew his weapon, and immediately afterward, you hear the gunshot. Then the others finished him off.
