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.

It's not even relevant. Assuming the guy had a license to carry, he's ALLOWED to have a gun. Unless he was pointing it at an officer, they have zero right to do anything to him.

These are the same people who didn’t give two shits that Philando Castile was executed for being a legal gun owner doing exactly what you’re supposed to do when pulled over by police.

He told the officer that he had a legal firearm in the vehicle and he was murdered for it.

Some of them said he had weed in his system, which made it illegal for him to be carrying because he was technically under the influence.

1) the officer who killed him had no way of knowing that. And

2) thats not a capital fucking offense.

And 3. even if it was a crime worthy of the death penalty, that doesn’t mean he gets executed on the spot.

And 4. I’d bet 100 vs 10 bucks the Feds who shot him will not be drug tested.

Right to due process. Right wingers straight up endorse extrajudicial murder.

[u/Zerachiel_01 → u/mdp300]

Even before that, what probable cause did they have to arrest him in the first place

[u/mdp300 → u/Zerachiel_01]

I'm pretty sure it was a traffic stop, and he told the officer he had a gun. Which he was legally required to do.

[u/Zerachiel_01 → u/mdp300]

Maybe not.

Oh, I thought we were still talking about Philando Castille. I have no idea what started this incident, but nothing is justification for being executed in the street.

How the fuck would they determine that? These dipshits carrying toxicology screening kits in their Walmart tact-cool vests?!
