I think the killing was rehearsed. Not necessarily for Alex specifically.
1] The shooter stares continuously at the disarmer placing his hand on, then removing Alex’s gun. This lasts for multiple seconds.
2] The shooter maintains arm-to-arm contact with the disarmer, a move commonly taught so you know where your partner is and what they’re doing.
3] The shooter pauses before drawing his own gun. When he draws it coincides the disarmer removing Alex’s gun
4] Upon disarm, the disarmer immediately turns around and runs. They don’t pause when the shooting starts
5] Upon disarm, the shooter immediately fills the space left by the disarmer.
I don’t want to believe this because it’s terrifying
Were the ones involved all CBP?
Why disarm him first, though?
I would guess for facade. Because disarming him after would make it too obvious.
What would be too obvious? I’m not following what the goal of the “act” would have been.
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.
If people are saying you can’t bring concealed carry somewhere, of course they’re jumping in. They know what that leads to.
Oh, now the NRA has an opinion …
You have to have a gun for them to pay any attention to your rights. 2A is all they care about.
If only there were a word or phrase to describe a group that is especially interested in a particular topic…
Your username made me irrationally angry for a second, well done
F*ck the NRA. Did they forget to “rise up against tyranny?” You know, the ONE THING they’ve been jerking themselves purple about for the last 50 years?
Notice how they call for an investigation. Rather than go full blown “see I told you so”. If it was Obamas ICE they would go full dummy red scare mode commie mode
