Abiding the law?

What law did they break to constitute being shot dead on the spot?

Or do you now support vague charges like "obstruction of justice"?

    One person showed up with a gun, the other tried to flee (or run over) an officer.

    Wold you as a police officer always behave perfectly in any urgent situation?

      Trying to flee is famously not a justification for murder, if anything it's the opposite. You're literally kicking someone while they're down. Or, uh, shooting them. Obviously a fleeing person is not a threat to your life, which is the ONLY justification for a shooting.

        Why would you flee from law enforcement, or why would you try to run them over?

      So anytime an officer kills a person with a gun, that is now justified?

      Despite the fact that the man in question that was killed had a legal permit for said gun AND 1 of the ICE agent even took his gun away and despite this was shot to death while lying on the ground?

      So where is the urgency? Not enough KDA ratio to score high enough on the scoreboard?

        Your version seems to be that they randomly opened fire. Another version is that a gun went off, not all of the officers knew where the victims gun was, they had also heard someone yell "gun", so after the first shot they opened fire.

        It's not that you can be shot at by law enforcement when you are carrying a gun, but that you can be shot at when there is an apparent reason that you are firing at them with it. I'm sure ICE isn't happy about how the events turned out either. But for the protesters: just don't bring a gun!

      If you have the right to bear arms, but law enforcement officers can shoot you if they spot that gun, then you don't actually have the right to bear arms.

        You do have the right to bear arms but bearing arms conveys a meaning, that you'd see a reason to use it, so if you have a gun at an event where there are ample amounts of law enforcement present, against who would you be protecting yourself?

      It is famously against the law to own a gun, and carry it with a permit in the United States.

        It's famously peaceful if you carry a gun to a protest and it famously drives no officer around you even more to their edge.
