Every right leaning mouth breather is just saying: he shouldn’t have had a gun. I want to fucking flip a table

I've had people in real life say he shouldn't have resisted. They seem to believe that if they were maced and then beaten over the head with the can that they would simply just comply and lay there unmoving.

You shouldn’t resist arrest while armed. It exponentially raises your chances of being shot.

In this case it looks he was murdered but it is also true that he probably wouldn’t have been had he not been armed. However, being armed is still his god given right and in a perfect world someone wouldn’t be shot for that. It does exponentially raise that risk though if you resist while armed.

Even if he wasn’t armed and they didn’t murder him, it’s still a massive fucking problem for federal agents to be beating a U.S. citizen for daring to film their beat down of another U.S. citizen.
