/edit:
multiple angles synced up together (this ones being updated as new angles come in)
Wow. So they have the struggling man on the ground and two men approach from the left of frame. What’s shown below is not graphic, but it is screenshots from the video.
Edit: Leaving it up, but my initial analysis was incorrect. Pink jacket video is now available. First shooter was different. Man that walks off frame toward camera in this video is the one that recovered the gun. Has it in his hands as he is walking away. Link to new video.
At 17 seconds in, several of the officers have stepped back a bit, one of the late arrivals has turned to leave, and so the guy on the ground no longer has bodies and activity all over him.
The man in the green hood takes a step back, and draws his weapon.
About two seconds later, the man in the green hood takes a firing pose and a shot is heard.
All of the thugs who were attacking the unseen figure step away and reach off their weapons.
A second or two passes. The figure on the ground does not seem to move. One of the last men to step clear (black beanie) takes several shots
In the video, the two men who arrived late (including the man who opened fire first), are seen leaving the frame quickly.
Without wanting to brew conspiracies, as I know ICE is pretty ragtag. Is that weird? Their cop cosplay outfits don’t quite match the others.
Good to know what their deflection is going to be, I hope journalists press them on the fact that the ICE officers had their hands on this guy and were beating on him before they shot him. If that pistol is his and he did actually brandish it, it’d still be a strong case for self defense, and either way this is just objectively shit police work. How tf do you put hands on someone with multiple people and still end up in a situation where you’re forced to shoot them?
Let’s say he really had the gun.
They’re beating on him, his arms are flailing, he has a gun hosltered somewhere and maybe they suddenly see it, or his arm flails towards it from the beating.
Idiot cop uses that as an excuse to murder them.
I thought you had a right to legally carry in the US?
Yeah just put it on the list of all the other rights they’re actively violating every day
Doesn’t stop a cop from deciding to kill you when they see it.
Only if you are right wing
Supposedly, yes. Having a pistol on you is considered legal in most places, including Minneapolis, as long as you have a permit (ICE couldn’t have possibly known whether or not he did, it would’ve been reasonable for them to assume that he did, and was simply exercising his rights). They’re going to make the excuse that he “reached for it”. If he didn’t have his hand on the fucking gun, that logic doesn’t stand. This is bullshit, they executed a man in cold blood because they felt like it. They’re monsters, and I hope they get some kind of punishment, legal (that’s not happening) or otherwise.
They had 1 person per limb and couldn’t pin him down because they’re incompetent, poorly trained, and out of shape.
