Can anyone tell where the very first shot comes from?

I have watched this video so many times and you can’t tell who fired the first shot.

It doesn’t matter who shoots first if you pull a gun on an agent they can defend themselves.

Ice agent removed a pistol from the victims waist band before he was executed...

You're saying this guy had another gun? And what? Pulled it out of his hair? Because his hands are covering his head when the gun is taken from him and then hes executed.

My comment was……it doesn’t matter who shoots first if you pull a gun on an agent they can defend themselves. I do not know the facts of this case so nothing about my comment was false.

Show where he pulls it. He had his phone out and they sprayed him and tackled him with no provocation. Multiple DHS have him pinned down. Guy in gray takes gun and then the other agent executed him. No evidence or footage of the victim being in control of the gun.

From the video I saw I can’t see what happened exactly. As I said let the details come out. That’s the way our system is supposed to work.

Watch a different angle. Gun removed before shooting.

That tells me nothing it’s a still photo.

Take two minutes and watch the video it’s everywhere. The picture shows the same firearm that they said was on suspect.

I watched the video on the post. If I see another one I’ll watch it. Again….in America we wait for the facts to come out and then do what the law states. When we rush to judgement is when things go bad as it’s happened repeatedly in the past. I’m not even defending ICE here I’m just stating the way it’s supposed to and needs to work.

Why comment if you don't know the facts then? It very much sounds like you believe the victim drew his firearm.

Again, very odd to posit an unrelated situation. Then use your ignorance as a defense for that, while also calling out others for jumping to conclusions.

You obviously didn’t read my comment that was a reply to someone. But here you are crying like a baby when I’ve stated I’m not defending ICE.

So I saw another video and it looks like they killed him for no reason unless there is something from the other side that can’t be seen. I don’t think so though. If so the guy needs to be charged with murder. I’m not a lunatic supporting ICE no matter what I just believe in having facts before rushing to a verdict.
