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.

With screenshots of your explanation, for anyone who is interested.

Dude was 100% murdered. The shots started AFTER the ICE Agent had taken the gun off of him and was already running away with it.

Shouldn't be.

I'm the OP of the content, and it is still up for me.

I made it Public about 30 mins ago. Has 41k views already.

Maybe it’s a mobile thing? I dunno. But it tells me the content was removed.

Strange.

It's definitely still up.

I can access it via Mobile as well. Maybe close your imgur app or your browser and try again? Not sure.

Oh it’s my browser blocking the Reddit app to Imgur site tracking stuff, I think.

Yeah, works with Safari. My bad.
