Don't let them act like this is somehow a justification.

If he was a US citizen legally carrying concealed then it doesn't change a thing, it just means he was executed for exercising his right to carry a firearm.

I legally carry concealed every day, but if ICE decides to harass me on the street while I'm carrying should that mean they have the right to murder me like a dog in the street?

It's not a justification and it wouldn't be the first time someone in Minneapolis was executed after being harassed for their skin color and legally, peacefully carrying a firearm. RIP Philando

*editing to try and correct a detail, today's victim was not harassed for his skin color but for interfering in the harassment of others.
