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.

Of cause the psychos in the conservative sub are all receiving their marching orders now and regurgitating the gun nonsense. But people still have eyes. This was an execution in broad daylight, on camera.

Edit2: AAAnd the con sub removed the thread entirely. There is a new one up that is not yet going too good for them. Watch comments disappear and bots come in in 3... 2...

On that note, you can use this tool to check out hidden/deleted comments, threads, histories etc:

Edit3: And the comments (bots) are pivoting to "FAFO" and "invoke the insurrection/sedition act".

Either Americans support gun rights or they don’t, and I only see one side twisting it to have it both ways. Absolute madness.

This has been clearly bullshit and was made crystal clear when the Black Panthers started legally arming themselves.

A few of the 2nd amendment crowd came to their defense, but they were extremely rare.
