I agree he was unarmed at the moment he was shot. But he was actively assaulting another person at the moment of the arrest (the woman with the red/orange backpack[0]).

I wasn't aware that was grounds for an execution without trial, thanks for clarifying!

I didn't say it was. I was responding to the specific thing I quoted,

It’s pretty clear that the person assaulting the woman in the orange backpack was the ICE agent. The ICE agent forcefully pushes the woman to the ground and Alex Pretti gets in between them to protect her as the ICE agent pepper sprays both of them. Orange backpack tries to stand up but is continually pepper sprayed and Alex Pretti uses his body to block the spray and is pushed/slips back onto orange backpack. It then seems like he grabs hold of her to block the spray and tries to lift her from the ground before the agents grab hold of him and pulls her away. At that point, he’s still holding onto her so she gets dragged as well.

How the fuck do you watch that video and think the guy who was shot is the one assaulting the woman with a red backpack?
The ICE agent does an almost comical shove to that woman, then the shot guy and her are pepper sprayed, and he tries to help them up.
You are actively lying or schizophrenic. If anyone disagrees with that assesment watch the video he linked.
The video clearly shows the grey-masked (EDIT: Grey-hat, green mask) ICE Agent taking the gun and running away with it before everyone else shoots him.
Also, I'm inclined to believe the "arrest" was an illegal arrest to begin with. I had a big post about how police procedure and due process is supposed to work but I know no one gives a crap about due process anymore, so forget it.
