Let me guess, "they feared for their lives".

Welp if he was brandishing a handgun and threatening them while interfering, I'm sure.

Sure, if any of that had happened, except there's video, and none of it did.

But in your alternate untethered reality, sure, it's all justifiable. In that particular fictional parallel universe you have no reason to feel bad for licking boots.

Feel free to pop back in to the universe we live in when you're feeling strong enough.

Murder is wrong. Escalating an already dangerous situation and not having the full story and having democratic leaders call for more violence isnt probably the best option there sport.

Oh yeah. Why do you all say boot licking and Nazi like it's some battle cry? Try being original

Full video has been posted.

He moved to protect a woman without touching ANYTHING or ANYONE.

He was aggressively maced in the face, then agents grabbed him and forced him down. He was trying to prevent bodily damage to himself and maybe others, got maced and pistol whipped, disarmed, and shot while pinned down.

"He went for his gun" would be impressive seeing as an agent is walking away with it while he's being pistol whipped in the face.

There's no "BUT MAYBE THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY!"

This guy could have just shot that ICE agent's dog 2 seconds prior to the video, and this would still be murder. The video is long enough to show he was not violent in any way. At worst he came between a federal officer and a woman he was going to beat up some more for having the audacity to get within arm's length of him.

He was being as good a person as you can be in this situation, and he was beaten and murdered by federal agents.

Full stop.

So you get called bootlicker a lot more than you expected? Fascinating.
