In the video, agents can be seen kneeling on the man’s back and crushing his neck. At one point the gun falls out of one of the agents’ holsters and after scrambling to grab it, he points it at the crowd of people watching and filming his brutality. His partner briefly draws his weapon and aims at the crowd, too, while the man on the ground repeatedly yells “I am American!” Talisman estimates there were about 30 witnesses gathered at the scene, with many others driving by.
After about 20 seconds, the first officer aims his gun towards the ground, with one hand resting on top of the gun and the other appearing to still be on the trigger. He remains in this position for another seven minutes. “What’re you gonna do? Shoot me?” one witness yells. “Go ahead. Shoot me.”
That’s a pretty bold thing to yell at members of a violent government agency operating with unfettered authority.
People are starting to have less and less to lose so a bullet from those fucking cowards won’t be much to fear
And the hooome of theeee braaave
“OMG there is actually a brave american!”
It may sound like I’m keyboard warrioring with this statement, but I am so over everything that this country is doing, combined with my own personal bullshit, that I would gladly take a bullet as a civilian bystander in this case. I could at least feel I’d have some fucking impact on this shit show.
It’s literally a starter pistol at that point. If the cops start shooting, there’s no reason for a good guy with a gun to hold back either. Go ahead. Take the first shot. It won’t be the last.
