No criminal history. A lawful gun owner with a valid conceal carry permit.
I haven’t commented on any of the content of this story until now.
Pay very close attention the the ‘agent’ wearing the grey coat, with his back to the camera before he turns around and walks towards it holding a gun.
He goes in hands empty, retrieves the gun from the suspects waistband, at the small of his back, and leaves before the first shot is fired.
Every shot was fired, by federal agents, at an unarmed individual. Plain murder.

multiple angles synced up together (this ones being updated as new angles come in)
Are we doing Iran cosplay now?
American: sees something american happening americanly in America:
“What are we, a bunch of ASIANS!!!”
I don’t get your thought process.
Your brain jerks to “look at these evil Muslims” when something obviously western happens in the west. Militarized police terrorizing minorities is literally as USA/European as it gets.
My thought process is that measuring repression using “le evil regime from another culture” is at its core a racist thing to do.
Why exactly do you want to label the Mullah dictatorship as “Asians” or “Muslims” and not just as the “Mullah dictatorship”? When I think about Mullahs, I think about dictators or about “death” or about “shooting protesters”, not about random Asians or random Muslims.
That does not make any sense and is the weirdest description of racism I have heard in a long time.
In which year do you live right now? Thousands of people were murdered by the Mullahs within the last few weeks… I’m from Germany. Can you please tell me what the “military police” in my country is called and when they killed Thounsands of people…? Keep in mind: I myself live in 2026, not in 1940…
The police in your country are fascist pigs too. They routinely beat up pro-palestinian protestors without consequence, it’s just that your state outsources the violence to Israel by supporting the genocide of Palestinians. The German regime is currently suggesting compulsory military service, funding literal Nazi arms manufacturers like Rheinmetall, and actively silencing dissenting journalists by removing their bank accounts and prosecuting anyone who hires them or donates money to them. Moreover, there is rampant far-right activity and nothing is done about it. I used to live in Germany up to a few years ago, and one time I celebrated my birthday at home and my friends couldn’t make it in time because a Nazi parade was blocking the trams.
How about we talk of the regime actively suppressing the people’s democratic will, like when people have a referendum to cap rents in Berlin but the supreme court rejects it (Mietendeckel)? How about the same happening with the referendum to expropriate housing that passed in 2021 and nothing has come of it yet?
Great… Generalization is always the best way to make a good discourse impossible.
With that logic, our whole public transport system (Deutsche Bahn) is Nazi stuff…
Very interesting to read you comment of you mentioning actual and non-actual problems in my country and that you don’t understand that the “regime” and the supreme court are not the same thing, but what’s the point? I live here. I know this country. You can also mention homelessness, CumEx, Staatsverschuldung, etc… But weren’t we just talking about the f*cking Mullah dicatorship that killed Thousands of protestors within a few weeks? If this is your picture of Germany, it’s fortunately far from the truth.
Keep supporting the most complicit state in Europe in the genocide of Palestinian people.
Alright, I see, you want to talk about random things instead of actually replaying to my Mullah comparison…
BTW: Where do you live? Which country to you support? Probably in a country that is 100% perfect…
Iran estimated death figures range from 3000 to 30000. And they’re trying to overthrow the government.
Over 500 of the dead were agents of the government. Iran doesn’t even have a 2A. How many government agents have you Americans gotten this far with your guns? 0? And how many of you will be murdered by government agents if/when government agents are killed? Iran is just a couple of steps ahead of you.
