Wow, that's some deep passive-aggressive victim blaming right there.

He wasn't screaming at them, he was filming them and then later helping up someone else who had been assaulted by them. Not that it should matter, screaming at the feds is protected first amendment activity.

Sorry. I shouldn't have said screaming. That's usually what I see in all this but he did not obey orders from the agents so the same question still applies. Why would anyone go to such an area armed with a weapon? Would you do that?

I would probably not do that, but it's not illegal to carry a gun. Who knows if he set out to protest or if he just was in the area and spontaneously decided to record when he observed federal agents? He could be one of many Americans who carry a gun regularly. Maybe he didn't intend to do any protesting or anything at all.

A requirement in all 50 states is to obey orders given by law enforcement. It's obvious he did not obey orders as they tried to detain him (however anyone wants to describe that).

I don't see any evidence that he was resisting. His hands were on the ground and he allowed himself to be disarmed. I did not hear any commands before the dogpile and subsequent gunshots. If I'm missing something please tell me what to listen for in the videos and I'll watch again.

Ah yes, that justifies his murder.

Lol, here we go again. "If you do not obey the orders of the execution squad as they are killing you, then their killing you is justified. After all, they are lAw eNfOrCeMeT!!!1!!"

The implication being that summary execution is a perfectly acceptable punishment for not immediately falling on the ground with your hands behind your back when a “law enforcement” goon eve looks at you?

You don’t see a problem with that?

What orders?

What obstruction?

They walked up to him. You are lying by implication that he was obstructing shit unless you mean in the 30 seconds from being dogpiled to shot.
