The victim had legal right to carry.

If he was carrying.


One of two things probably happened. He told them he had a gun and they started yelling gun gun gun and some nazi shot him. Or they felt the gun and yelled gun gun gun and some Nazi shot him.

2. He need not have had a gun for them to murder him. They are murderers. It's what they do.

These sort of people don't use deadly force because it is unfortunately necessary as part of the job sometimes.

They took that particular job because it creates opportunities to use deadly force and get away with it -- that is very different.

Sick fucks.

It looks like the man had a gun in his back waistband and an agent took it from him right before the shots. He's probably the one who yelled "gun". The man himself never touched his gun.

There's a video showing another angle and the gun in that agents hand is exactly the one DHS pictured in their propaganda.

Or they planted it there in hopes of making him look like a bad guy.

The ice sicko that shot him saw the gun in the back of his waste band and opened fire.

11. The ICE story is a man approach them with a gun

For the sake of argument , I will accept that at this moment , because it gives us three scenarios:

1 the man approached them with a gun in his hand, my question is, why did you start wrestling him? I would draw my own weapon in the face of such a threat

2 he had the gun openly carried in the holster. Question: Open carry is legal in Minnesota, with a permit. Why are you aggressively attempting to disarm him rather than getting his ID and permit

3 He was carrying the gun concealed. In that case how did they know he had a gun?
