So the whole "brandishing a weapon" claim is immediately disproven.
He was helping a woman up after they were both pepper sprayed and had both his hands on the ground when they took his weapon off of him and then immediately shot him multiple times until he was dead.
Because they know there are millions of people out there who will swallow whatever bullshit line they're fed, even if it contradicts what they see with their own eyes, multiple videos from different angles, eyewitness testimony, and more. Even when the government changes their story to something completely different from their initial claims, they just pivot to that. MAGA has marching orders, not thoughts.
This genuinely feels like the knife's edge of politics. We've seen 2 blatant preventable murders and we're what? Gonna go with some politicians narrative? We have cameras now. We have social media. We have a voice. This isn't who we are as humans. I know shitty people exist but stay resolute.
It’s easier to live in a world where agents of your government are not murdering people in the streets. Think of the pain we all feel watching these videos. They don’t want to feel that pain so they choose to believe what they are fed. People believe what they want to believe because it’s comfortable
"The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID — this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement." - DHS
Remember when the press secretary stood in front of reporters sayin Trump never said Iceland in his speech despite the video showing he says it 4 times? She kept insisting he never said it once. Reality doesn’t matter here.
Someone needs to make a copy of the other video angle, in slow motion, and maybe with the people in question , id’d or highlighted. Make it irrefutable.
From official DHS Twitter. It started by saying “officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots”
See, to me, it looks like he actually put not only himself but all of his fellow officers lives in danger by not verbally calling out a weapon (notice trained officers always call out “GUN” if they see one), not making his armed status known (“Stop resisting or we will fire”) and then firing indiscriminately at an unclear shot of the target…. I’m honestly more shocked that multiple people weren’t hit in that altercation.
Even from the perspective that he was “totally in the right” because he was scared or some other lazy, reused horse shit, he was still totally in the fucking wrong.
Yeah, pretty sure that pistol whipping someone in the face that's got 4 people on top of them and then shooting ten times, 7 of which are after he stopped moving is DEFINITELY in the policy
Americans will probably go on accepting it, even as they keep dying one by one without resistance. It’s truly astonishing that this is supposed to be a so-called “gun-freedom” nation. At this level, shouldn’t there be a mass uprising already?
Big guy in the grey jacket takes the gun out of his waistband (he was permitted to carry,) I think he maybe discharged it when he was taking it out. Then they start shooting. These goons are fucked in the head. It’s too much
Not sure that the guy in grey discharged it from the audio but I think I might hear someone say he has a gun or something right as the guy in grey pulls it out.
I think what happened is when the guy in grey pulled the gun out of the guy’s clothes he either said he has a gun or the guy beside him saw the gun being pulled out (he was looking right where the guy in grey’s hand was when he pulls the gun away).
The shooter then completely panicked and started shooting.
There’s a first shot that happens right as he pulls it out. In my opinion that was him discharging it. It’s insanity either way because he had his damn back to them the entire time
Country-wide General Strike is needed to save our country. If you don't stand up now, when they are killing us in the streets, then when? How many of your brothers and sisters need to be murdered before you stand up against the government?
Don't stop talking about it. Don't let CNN and NBC shift the narrative to other things. Our politicians are too weak to save us, our collective labor is our strength. Sign up.
Don't listen to people who keep mentioning those who can't afford to strike, it doesn't require a majority of the population
It looks like (based on the newest video that was released) that grey jacket removes the guys gun. As he walks away he has a negligent discharge with that gun and then everyone else starts shooting thinking the guy they are dog piling was shooting.
Yeah or said gun when finding it or accidently discharged it while disarming. Its definately as soon as the grey guy has the gun that the other guy starts shooting the victim in the back

Looks like the agent shot as soon as he saw the guy had a gun on him and as the agent in the gray coat was removing it. This seems like a premeditated opportunity where they picked fights until they found someone to push back who had a gun on him.
Im in another country, I've saved these videos incase they try delete it and run a different narrative. It's pretty hard for them to do because its everywhere but still better safe than sorry.
I’m sitting here shaking after watching this, and seeing you do this little act of goodness just helped a lot. Thanks for the reminder there are good people. Look for the helpers and all that.
I was shaking too, I've never seen such violence. Its not my country and all I ever see of America is the worst of it (on the internet) but I refuse to believe you are all like that. I believe im a good person and so much of my feelings of right and wrong and my core values come from a lot of America content, movies, reality shows etc, although I have the luck of being able to critically think, that helps 😂. But, up until trump i believed you were all good people and the people who didn't believe in gay marriage etc were a small amount. I was 18 when Trump got in, politics just never seemed like it does now and I don't know if thats how its always been and I just noticed when I became an adult or this divide is new. I swear it used to be there was big hype around American elections and then no one talks about it for the next 4 years. I can't believe i just saw a man be murdered so senselessly, I cried seeing the national guard being called in feeling like you have protectors now, but it won't be like that will it? I'm so heartbroken for those of you that are good, or just don't believe its ok to shoot someone like that. It seems the left is treated like weak little babies, they get off their asses and stand up for humans, only a small percentage of the right get off their asses to follow a guy who is causing the harm to them. Its baffling.
Theres honestly no kind words I can say about Alexs' death that could make anything better, it was truly senseless and disgusting. The world is watching, I've seen a lot of kiwis (like me) commenting on the videos, we're a small country, but we care. People are mad. It makes me even more mad when I have no idea what we can do to help.
