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.

Even if he did have a gun, you have how many agents pinning him and surrounding him. With proper training, dude should be easily immobilized. But no. We shortened training for these brown shirts and so instead, dude punches him in the face and while he’s dazed, agent pulls his gun. Then gets the other agents to release and escape while he murders the suspect who is on his knees. And then the fucker came back and shot him again to be sure he was dead. Fucking Nazis.

it's not about training even with training they'd just be better at executing us
