>The shooting was justified under the law and circumstances because there was a gun present and was perceived as a threat by at least one of the officers.
because the officer holding it fired it?
This is getting absurd.
inb4:
"DHS Secretary confirms that the officers fired 10 shots in self defense before Pretti ran over them with his phone."
Are you denying that an ICE officer was holding the gun when it discharged?
I am believing my own lying eyes. It is not illegal to carry a firearm according to the U.S. Constitution, and it makes no sense to be shot after the firearm is forcibly removed from your person. GLWT.
For what its' worth, I support ICE, tom Homan, and deportations. Executions of U.S. citizens by rabid feds with buck fever - not so much.
He did not initiate contact, he was attacked when he attempted to help another protestor that was knocked to the ground. This, after he was assaulted by an ICE agent while filming . He did nothing illegal, and nothing that warranted being pepper-sprayed, attacked, tackled, and shot while being held face down by several federal agents. There are videos, watching them may help you understand what happened. And what is about to happen. Suicide by cop is what the Trump administration is currently doing.
no, the facts are that the firearm was in possession of a federal agent when it discharged. There is no self-defense claim on this one.
I am keeping an open mind, but I doubt that Noem, Bondi and Patel will investigate this one either. And that is why I dread the mid-term results.
I support the 2nd amendment too. Pretti was not illegally carrying. He did not draw his weapon. Are you a fan of the 2nd amendment?
Or is it just a fair-weather thing for you?
I have relatives that are cops. I support them. I also support the Constitution. There is no conflict on this, the law applies to those who wear a badge too.
This homicide is not a clean shoot.
you don't seem to understand the slippery slope here.
If merely possessing a firearm gives Feds the right to kill you, the republic is toast.
