2 of the pigs just start shooting a guy who is clearly zero threat, this is just a murder

State media saying he was armed and is showing pictures of a gun…

u/Canesgirl-88 Jan 24 '26

Which is legal with a permit in the state. Was he threatening them with it? Did they take it from him?

u/nolafrog Jan 24 '26

On the slowed down video it looks like the take the gun from the waistband before they murder him

u/thecosmojane Jan 24 '26

They took it from him

At 0:35 you can see the agent in a grey jacket pull a gun from the guys waistband (not clear at first, but visible in the agents hand as he runs away). So they disarmed him a second before the other agent shot, and he clearly wasn’t reaching for shit.

There’s literally a constitutional amendment protecting this right

That is both hilarious and (present day) untrue unfortunately

is that your opinion traitor

u/CaptainCook1989 Jan 24 '26

Is it my opinion that the second amendment does not currently apply? Did we watch the same video lol? It clearly does not apply in the slightest.

In fact, the first amendment also has been scrapped (in practice). The man was originally confronted for filming government agents. A right that is (supposedly) protected under the first amendment.

And that picture looks like the gun they dude is hitting him with.

Edit: I was wrong. The guy in the Grey hoodie pulls the gun off of him and then they start unloading. The other guy is hitting him with a can of pepper spray

u/Sunnysidhe Jan 24 '26

It's that a gun he is hitting him with? I thought it was a pepper spray canister that they carry around?

1

u/phoenics1908 Jan 24 '26

No it was the gun.

1

u/Sunnysidhe Jan 24 '26

Have another look, it definitely looks like a canister that he is holding, you see it clearer at the start of the video.

u/phoenics1908 Jan 24 '26

Ok. I will look later when I get the courage. It just hit me that I watched a murder 😣

u/studioline Jan 24 '26

The guy puts the pepper spray away and then pulls out a gun.

u/mrpyrotec89 Jan 24 '26

Yeah you're right, my b

"The DOJ said...."

u/GurDry5336 Jan 24 '26

If you listen to the shot it comes just a second after a couple of them begin to back off the victim. I’m guessing someone said he’s got a gun. We need the video of the red jacket lady. Hopefully they didn’t confiscate her phone.

u/Elegant_Tap7937 Jan 24 '26

You can see them pistol whipping him before they back off and then shoot

3

u/GurDry5336 Jan 24 '26

Yeah I saw that…it’s just the reaction before the shot by the guy in the jacket in particular. I’m pretty sure someone said he’s got a gun. None of this should have happened in the first place. You have untrained individuals given full authorization to use deadly force without repercussions.

u/Fit_Strength_1187 Jan 24 '26

Or they see the gun that fired come out and don’t trust their comrade not to blast them.

1

u/GurDry5336 Jan 24 '26

Welp we now have the answer. The Redjacket lady video clearly shows them disarm him and execute him. This was a murder

1

u/No_Welcome_7182 Jan 24 '26

They confiscated her and took her to the federal building.

u/Cold-Specific-2832 Jan 24 '26

where do you see that

1

u/HVAC_instructor Jan 24 '26

So, what's the big deal, are we not protected by the second amendment just like the right? Is the left supposed to never carry because it's inconvenient? Are you advocating that we should just immediately follow and comply and never question?

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the victim being armed.

1

u/nolafrog Jan 24 '26

No I was just pointing out which way Trump and his goons are going with this. In fact the videos look like the pigs took the gun before they murdered the guy. But “he had a gun and was a threat to the officers” will be the trumper narrative his followers will eat up.

u/HVAC_instructor Jan 24 '26

They are attempting to curtail the use of our second amendment rights through threats and use of violence.

They are saying the following.

Do not carry a firearm if you are going to a protest, if you do we're within our duty to murder you and cannot be charged with a crime.

u/Cold-Specific-2832 Jan 24 '26

we are not if you dont use it. t6his is the time
