This was a public execution.
He was legally armed.
They disarmed him.
Placed him in handcuffs.
Then shot him on the ground repeatedly.
So I've been out all day and haven't seen videos yet, but I didn't know he was already disarmed. At that point what does it even matter that he had a gun, wtf. A gun has nothing to do with the murder.
Okay I got home and saw the video now. That's fucking insane and straight up murder. Like why did they even shoot multiple times after the first shot, he was laying on the ground wtf.
Edit: Also same with with the Ross murder. That first shot, maybe he thought he was in danger even though he literally put himself in that danger through incompetence, but then he shoots her twice more when no longer in danger. The same thing happened here. I can't tell what happened in that first shot, but the next shots, he was on the ground and no danger. Are they taught to triple shoot people if they shoot or something like wtf. Like leave no survivors?
Edit: Seen some other videos now, guess it was more than just the 3 shots I heard in the first one, fucking bonkers.
His possession of a firearm matters because the reich wingnuts have already tried to say he threatened ICE with it.
How does that even matter if he was disarmed.
Let's say that's true.
He was disarmed.
Now the gun doesn't play into shooting him.
Didn't you read what I said? It doesn’t matter that he was disarmed because they said he was threatening them with a gun. Your preference for facts has nothing to do with the reasons they make up.
I think the only thing clear from the multiple videos is that he was not handcuffed. No idea why would you say he was.
You’re right. I found a different clip that shows he wasn’t cuffed. The original clip I saw it looked like they cuffed him while he was on the ground, He tried to stand up and they shot him, but I can’t see his hands.
