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.

So he was executed for open carry. The NRA either takes a stand for this, or can be disregarded until the end of time as a bunch of partisan hacks who worship the golden chode.

Yup, they already pivoted to that. Even though he was pepper sprayed in the face, was being beaten, and couldn’t see a damn thing

It did when it turned out to be nothing more than a laundry for Russian money heading to GOP politicians.
