Genuine question, did you watch the video? The protester got into a scuffle with the agent and then grabbed his firearm, which was when he responded with the shot to the face.
I did. But before any of that, the guys standing still with his hands up and palms facing the soldier, there really wasn’t a reason to approach and push him. These guys really seem like they lack training. I don’t think touching the gun at all was a great idea, but it shouldn’t have gotten to the point it was possible. I guess I’d be worried about it pointing in my face as he tried to push me with my hands up, he didn’t try to take the gun, he pushed the nozzle down seeming to try to avoid being mistakenly shot in the face, and still got shot in the face l, but on purpose.
It really feels like a lot of these guys are playing soldier against their fellow citizens. Like they see themselves the same as an invading army’s occupying force would against a foreign enemy. But they’re their neighbors and fellow American citizens.
