You cant just kill someone because you are afraid.

And you are here just assuming that he pulled a gun on them? What makes your assumption more valid than anyone else's?


It isn't, we're all in the same boat

What does the 2A have to do with interfering with LEO?

Have you ever taken a CC class?

Here is one of the many outlines they spend a whole section on

Behavior Around LEOs While Armed

Classes teach de-escalation and predictability:

Never surprise an officer with sudden movements

Never joke about weapons

Do not argue roadside about gun laws

Follow commands even if you believe the officer is mistaken (address it later legally)

I don’t care one way or the other about him. He didn’t get killed, so it’s a moot point. If he did, I’d be singing the same tune. He went into the fire willingly.

This could very well be a bad shoot, but all of the faux outrage about 2A is pathetic. The same people in every thread make it very obvious that it's not the actual topic they are upset about, it's Trump and any immigration enforcement which they vehemently oppose. They should at least be honest about it.

People ITT said the suspect's gun went off, and you can hear that in the video.
You’re doing yourself a terrible disservice believing them.

Not much points to that being accurate at this time.

The possibility exists. But I don’t think it’s likely.

Would be a little understandable. But still a terrible mistake 100% on the agents and they’d need to pay.

They literally kept shooting after he was dead.

This is going to be bad. I don't even know why anyone would defend it.

All good advice

They were holding his gun when they shot him

So much so that they couldn’t even FIND THE GUN while searching his body
