    Basically, if his gun isn’t holstered they can claim all kinds of things like he reached for his gun, or an accidental discharge, or all kinds of excuses for shooting a guy. It helps them frame the situation as dangerous and chaotic.

    The broader goal? imo: For the officers: To hurt a guy. The way they treat people makes me think they like hurting people. For the feds: to ‘raise the temperature’ and agitate, presumably to incite retribution.

    Im aware the 2nd paragraph reads like classic tinfoil hat stuff. But I’m not alone in thinking it’s true.
