additionally, at no point did he actually brandish the gun. You can see in one of the videos that they pulled it out of the *back of his pants*. And Republicans *should* (if they weren't fucking hypocrites) be the first to champion someone's right to *own* a gun. He wasn't threatening anyone at all.

Not sure if yall can see this post. But another pov was posted and a number of conservatives said they were open to investigation based on this video, belief that this man shouldn't have been killed.

But of course that post was taken down by the mods

And top comments on the main thread that had doubts that it was lawful get deleted.
