    The final agent to enter the frame approaches the agent who fired the shots from behind. During this approach, he accidentally grabs the other agent’s left arm. This leads the agent to believe that someone is trying to grab his weapon, causing him to discharge the first shot.

    Reminder: this is how things always escalate in these sort of situations. This is how poorly trained paramilitary forces with little oversight behave towards civilian populations.

    This is inevitable.

    That being the case, this type of thing is exactly what @Paladin and @Steal Your Face voted for, and continue to rub themselves to.

    Hopefully the next time it happens the collateral damage can be people like them, rather than those trying to stop it.

    The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

    They still address him as if he's sane and rational. It's like asking a slave driver "How many more lashes?" There's no answer to that which anyone wants to hear because in his view it can only be "as many as it takes" their heartfelt answer will always be "as many as it takes"

    And that's up to and including full burn civil war. Stop underestimating them.

    And I called it back in '08.
    I got a dogpile of "boo! Radical tree-hugger!" and assorted other bullshit.

    Imagine how far gone to think that there are people literally willing to die to create a political narrative.
    Surely there are people willing to *kill* to create a narrative, but die?
    GTFOOH

    Even so, if you thought that were true, that you were being set up, the solution is: don't kill them!!!!

    Third angle shows Alex Pretti yet more clearly deescalating. As goon attacks woman, Pretti tries to shield, pulling his left arm back so it can't be misconstrued as restraint, raising right hand open. Sprayed in face. Turns away, shielding woman; he's swarmed, on knees trying to curl in protection.
