This was nothing less than a execution of an American citizen.
I saw this posted on another thread and think it's a fantastic summary. I wish they had video links or gifs instead of stills but all if this is pretty easy to find. This is indefensible.

This was a really great break down.
This was a public execution.
He was legally armed.
They disarmed him.
~~Placed him in handcuffs.~~ He may not have been cuffed, a different angle video I can’t see his hands behind his back. It originally looked like they cuffed him on the ground.
Then shot him on the ground repeatedly.
So I've been out all day and haven't seen videos yet, but I didn't know he was already disarmed. At that point what does it even matter that he had a gun, wtf. A gun has nothing to do with the murder.
Okay I got home and saw the video now. That's fucking insane and straight up murder. Like why did they even shoot multiple times after the first shot, he was laying on the ground wtf.
Edit: Also same with with the Ross murder. That first shot, maybe he thought he was in danger even though he literally put himself in that danger through incompetence, but then he shoots her twice more when no longer in danger. The same thing happened here. I can't tell what happened in that first shot, but the next shots, he was on the ground and no danger. Are they taught to triple shoot people if they shoot or something like wtf. Like leave no survivors?
Edit: Seen some other videos now, guess it was more than just the 3 shots I heard in the first one, fucking bonkers.
His possession of a firearm matters because the reich wingnuts have already tried to say he threatened ICE with it.
How does that even matter if he was disarmed.
Let's say that's true.
He was disarmed.
Now the gun doesn't play into shooting him.
Didn't you read what I said? It doesn’t matter that he was disarmed because they said he was threatening them with a gun. Your preference for facts has nothing to do with the reasons they make up.
I think the only thing clear from the multiple videos is that he was not handcuffed. No idea why would you say he was.
Footage from the lady in pink
Yeah that's cold blooded murder alright. This group of fat fucks couldn't even take one guy and so they killed him out of spite. It's going downhill with the USA at an accelerating pace.
He was on the floor when he decided to start shooting? Thats even worse than I thought
And they maced him before that. This dude was virtually incapable of posing a threat. The DHS narrative is insane. He was fucking trying to help two women being shoved around by ice lol. Who can watch this and not see the diabolical lies?
I hope it gets uploaded to another place. Imgur compressed the ever living shit out of that.
When I see police shootings like this, I always wonder how unarmed British cops would handle such a situation. I'm against defunding the police in general, but defunding their gun budget I think would go a long, long way.
I think removing their union protections (I'm a union member and I don't think they should be afforded the same types of protections since they're not labor, they're the armed section of government who are the only ones allowed to use force on the citizens) and making them carry insurance would be a start. Then, moving their budget to do something about the fact that so many of their calls are to deal with mental health crises which they're not trained for. Plus, for as large as their budgets are, I'd expect better results in solving crimes. Lots of police departments average something like 25% solve rate which includes things like when people turn themselves in.
I'd say 'unbelievable' but it's very believable. They just fucking executed that guy.
Held him down and shot him in the back
These people are fucking evil.
Holy fuck
Minnesota needs to recall their congresspeople. Like tell them to come home. Then other states need to follow. Refuse to participate.
Here's a multi angle link that's being updated regularly as new video comes in.

Anyone know of tools to combine multi angle videos into a 3d animation?
I've looked around the net and found some, although I'm unsure if they'll fit your requirements.

Every ice goon has a gun, they should be viewed as an immediate threat to your life on sight
They’ve declared war, it’s time to start making ice melt
Murder is the technical term for what happened
The fascists wouldn't behave this way if they thought there was any chance of repercussions.
I guarantee they will be outside polling places wherever the constituents have IQs above room temperature.
Seems like they need to fear repercussions.
Since I'm in Canada and safe from the five eyes bullshit now...
Do ICE agents have radio systems? My observation is that many don't. What happens if you manage to separate a couple of them?
Do they go outside to smoke when they're at their hotels? Getting shot at on a smoke break seems pretty scary. What if ICE agents started to disappear?
What they want for their civil war is a character they can point to as a central villain. If agents get picked off and no one gets caught, they don't have the character they need for the story they want to tell.
I sincerely wish there was more I could do. Good luck.
Do NOT even SUGGEST hurting these MEN! That would ESCALATE things and Then they might Start MURDERING AMERICANS IN COLD BLOOD!
I'll say it again, until these people fear for their own lives, nothing will change.
This means peaceful protest is not the answer. Sorry.
The Americans get very upset when you point out what theyre doing isnt enough. Its like the myth of American exceptionalism will magically protect them from reality.
I get it because I used to be that way. I've hand-waved a lot in my life because I naively felt the swinging pendulum would balance things. I believed shit like good always prevails, taking the high-road will pay off, etc.
But as I dug into it more and learned more and saw more, it is undeniable what is actually happening. We've been on a bad path for a long, long time and the slow frog boil has duped many.
And because things are so far gone at this point, what used to appear to work won't anymore. What comforts and conveniences some of us used to be able to somewhat hide behind no longer exists.
Sadly, I'm not sure a critical mass of people are ready to face and accept this reality. I'll be honest, part of me barely is, but most of me knows the truth. I also know my line of work gives me the luxury of being able to care and take a step back sometimes - not everyone has that and it is purposely manufactured to be that way.
Well all these people are murderers now. What the fuck
They claim he had a gun, obviously. From the video it's impossible to tell if he did.
To be precise, they claim 'they were approach by a man with a gun' and that 'officers tried to disarm the man but ended up shooting him dead.' which is obviously a lie. They attacked him and tried to arrest him for protesting. By the time they might have noticed a gun (if he had one) 5 guys were already trying to pin him down. Cold blooded murder.
I've found this to be a rather good summary of the multiple videos in circulation: https://resistmap.substack.com/p/they-took-his-gun-then-they-shot
Love how they all back away like nope
In that moment, they learned this is real life. They all clearly aren't trained. If they were to be attacked by someone else with a real weapon, they would literally piss themselves. They should not be in the position they are in, where that is a real potential outcome in their line of work.
They're also all going to have that memory seared into their minds for the rest of the years, whether they face real consequences or not. I hope the trauma ends their lives early as well, if I were then I'd be thinking about turning the gun on myself after doing that to an innocent man. But then again, I'm a human being
Time to start shooting back
Red coat was abducted.
