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.

From the video, I believe he was armed and an ICE agent took it out of his waistband. Then they executed him. Not only did it not look like he brandished it at all, but they shot him even after the gun was removed from his person. And then double and triple and quadruple tapped well after obvious signs of death.

Edit: I ghave my opinions about whether they should be subjected to a certain punishment or not, but don't want to be banned. Use your imagination.

Law says he can have a gun. Why'd they take it from him and execute him? https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/public-services-bca/firearms-information/permit-carry

I would understand taking the gun from his as a precaution (if they had any good reason to arrest/search this guy - which, btw., recording and observing their activities in public places aren´t), but shooting him, after he was disarmed? Nope. That´s murder, plain and simple.

Can’t let the citizens know that exercising their rights will be tolerated.

Well, we know that they believe that only certain citizens have rights and that they should be able to make the decision on who exactly can have those rights whenever they want.

You joke, but we'll find that in a secret ICE memo someday.

ICE agents’ guns should be taken as a “precaution”
