I suspect it won't matter to you, but there's clear footage now of officers having removed the gun from the suspect long before he was shot. He was pinned and prone when he was executed. Claiming this was "defensive" is just a lie.
I've watched four videos but haven't seen any footage (clear or otherwise) of gun removal. Can you post a link to clear footage of the removal?
One video [1] shows someone walking away from the scene with a gun a fraction of a second before the shooting begins. But I can't see that the gun was removed from the protester.

How is this relevant regardless? Concealed carry is not illegal and even in places where it might be its usually not grounds for a summary execution.

Thanks. The link is to a Bellingcat analysis. They did great work on the Renee Good shooting, but in this case, they're describing stills from videos, and I can't see what they're seeing in the photos. The photos are just too fuzzy---at least for me, and I suspect for most other viewers.
I don't mean to diminish the importance of the shooting, which is horrific no matter what one makes of the photos.

And everyone else is annoyed by the fact that for some reason you still act like DHS isn't just continuously lying, repeating their statements as if they reflect what we all saw happen on video.
