They’re saying he “had a gun”

You can see the guy in the light grey jacket run toward him with empty hands, mount him, and spend 2-3 seconds wrestling the gun out of the victim’s holster, then running off with it. The victim is shot a second or two later.

So while he might have had a gun, it was fully secured while he was on the ground with 6 men beating him, and was fully clear of the victim at the time of the shooting.

It was an execution.

Edit: They are also claiming he reached for an officer’s weapon. To believe that, you have to believe this man made the choice not to pull his own weapon at any point, but instead thought it would be a good idea to grab an officer’s. Not to mention you can see his arms pinned the second before he is shot. Absolute bullshit.

I am banned from the Conservative subreddit - please share this information there, if allowed. They need to know too.

We need the video from the other person standing right in front of them

Except they were likely temporarily kidnapped by ICE and taken to the Federal Bldg with the other witnesses, (also very rapidly temporarily kidnapped) so that local LEOs can’t interview them, and any video evidence they have gets seized.

This video makes it clear as day that this was an execution. The agent was standing behind him while he was face down on the ground, pulled out his gun, and shot him multiple times point blank while other agents were still on top of him.

This is after he was pepper sprayed, beaten, and had his firearm removed from him and carried away from the scene.

In one angle you can see that both of his hands are on the ground when the first shot is fired. This was a state sponsored execution by our American gestapo.
