Why did they all scatter looking for cover right before the shots were fired, if he was dogpiled and being disarmed?

watch again from the new angle. the only one "scattering" is the guy that took his gun and ran away with it. Most likely to get the gun out of the area.

That looks like a fairly clear disarming to me, then they open fire.

Its a pressure cooker because of politicians and activists comparing ICE agents to the Nazi gestapo. They’re inciting the fringe lunatics to do stupid shite that goes beyond a peaceful protest. And then they act outraged when one of the people they gaslit ends up dead because she tried to ram an ICE agent with her car.

I just find it laughable that people on the right who are supposedly all for small government and less overreach are praising retards in balaclavas who would NEVER be allowed to be in standard law enforcement roaming the streets wreaking havoc.


Small govt doesn’t mean that you ignore enforcing the laws you have. Our forefathers built into the constitution the possibility of dealing with insurrection as well as making immigration a federal power with federal laws over immigration being the supreme laws of the land. The balaclavas are only being used to protect the officers and their families from the violent and harassing left. Control your ilk and support the rule of law, and the face coverings will go away.

Why do they hate the enforcement of the federal immigration law? Do they just hate the Constitution?

Again, Trump supporters defending this just shows he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and they’d find a defense for it.

Some refuse to remove the orange shaded glasses and be objective.

How do you know the guy in gray didn't have his own gun out?

Why is everyone assuming that's the victim's gun?

Minneapolis PD identified the victim and said he had a right to carry and was a lawful gun owner. He was disarmed an then shot. The officer fricked up under pressure. It’s plain and simple. Yes the guy shouldn’t have put himself in the altercation but the officer should be trained to handle high-pressure altercations.

the left and media love to have this high and mighty attitude that get to “poke the bear” consistently and constantly … it’s just push push push push push push push and wait for a reaction, then cry about any reaction

Yep. Imagine US citizens listening to democrats calls to agitate police and then actively doing it.

A man exercising his 2nd amendment right was murdered by federal agents for exercising his 2nd amendment right.


If you were asked to make up a story 15 years ago about why the 2nd is important, the story would have gone very much like today.

The people telling those stories 15 years ago are now defending the feds.

wtf are we doing, folks? When does the rah rah red vs blue dumbassery give way to common fricking sense? This shite is indefensible.

That’s not at all accurate. The protesters are actively interfering in deportation removals. The individual who was shot was armed with a handgun. This appears to be an objectively reasonable use of deadly force under the circumstances. As they say, FAFO.

He tried helping a lady getting pepper sprayed. They threw him to the ground, beat him up and then shot him. It’s plain as day. I don’t care about anyone’s politics on this. That’s not right and shouldn’t be happening in our country

You support the 2nd amendment?

Also, you might want to chill based on the videos that are coming out. There will be arrests.

Remind me what the argument the left used against Kyle Rittenhouse was?

“He brought his gun to the protest so he was looking for an altercation” right?

Even if legal, having a firearm on you raises the stakes. If officers are detaining you, resisting while armed is incredibly stupid and could cost you your life. Yes, the cop might end up prosecuted for being wrong, but it doesn’t make the cop evil, ICE evil, or the victim any less of an idiot

Because the tactic is to disarm and remove the weapon further away from the perpetrator and the agent clearly turns his back and runs away from the vicinity.

Very likely if it was his own weapon, he stands his ground guarding the scene.

I think you need to read up on this story or watch the three angles from the shooting. You either haven't watched it, or are acting dumb.

The answer to your last question is 1) watch the video 2) the suspect's gun matching what he's holding (maybe they carried the same thing 3)body language. It's pretty clear that's the suspect's gun.

You criticize people analyzing the video, hoever you have no problem saying, out of your arse I must add, that "he probably pulled a gun and was shot." weird
