It's a package deal with the red dot sight that is often offered. While it's likely his gun, there are agents that also have red dot sights.

Just wreck shop in red states that are close (Arizona, Texas, NC, FL, GA that we can get away with it in. Leave MN and CA alone. Not worth it.


As.far as political strategy....yea Im not sure why the Trump administration isn't concentrating all their efforts in the red states where there are still millions of illegals and little push back....especially before the mid terms.

That shot seems to come after the fed walked away with what we assume to be the dead guy's sig.


I still don’t know what agent is the one being referred to here. Are we talking about the guy on the right side in the green?

If so and he did retrieve the weapon, his positioning and the way he did it would only add to the confusion. The other agents are on top of the guy looking down and his is behind them reaching in. If they don’t realize that it’s the agent behind them retrieving the gun all they are seeing is a hand on a weapon.

No, the guy in the grey. You can see him best on the video from across the street.

Gotcha. It didn't look like he had a gun in his right hand when he went in and came out with one. Who knows?

Yea, that's kind of what I think happened looking at all the video. A cop said gun, which spooked all the officers at the exact millisecond, simultaneously the cop who said gun instinctively grabbed said gun and disarmed the guy, but it was too late as fractions of a second later rounds were going. Had the guy not said gun and disarmed him, he's prob in custody and alive. Had the guy said gun and left it, dead guy is still dead with the gun on the body and it's unquestionably justified. I'm not a professional, and this is from my kitchen in Texas as I cook a chili, so take it for what it's worth.


This is exactly my take on the situation as well

Dude they’re not even deporting a fraction of the illegals Biden left in. Trump said the other day he isn’t even interested in deporting illegals who have jobs in restaurants and hotels. All this is going to do is cost republicans future elections. Then everyone here can cry when the police who only serve their masters start shooting patriots in the street.

That’s cute! You clearly have never been to Atlanta or Houston because there would be thousands of protesters there as well. The Left is an abomination

I'm not hearing a shot in the long vid. Regardless, who shows up armed and puts themselves in the way of obviously agitated police officers (rightly so)? It's because these guys are role playing their own version of the crusades and they think their moral superiority gives them that right. This is a case of FAFO. You don't need to be there at all. You definitely don't need to be there armed. You definitely don't need to be there armed and find a way to antagonize police officers. This is definitely a Darwin Award.

I didn't hear a shot earlier, but if it did happen, he would have remained a threat until neutralized, whether that means incapacitated or dead.

I go back to what I said earlier. If this guy didn't think he was a hero he wouldn't be dead. I can't say I've ever gone out of my way to put myself into a tense violent situation. If you do, you can't expect people to be sorry for you if you die.

It seems like this is going to be an L for our side.

The guy who died is far more normal than that lesbo paid protestor.

Trump's strategy sucks and were not deporting nearly enough illegals on top of it.

We've already discussed that vid. Based on angles not every officer would have known he was completely unarmed of that he was completed disarmed. I bet he reached for his holster. Not a great idea.
