Well, that's an interesting take. Even if a holstered weapon did discharge (no idea how likely this is for the specific weapon in question), why would someone suspect they are being fired at by a person with a holstered weapon? Poor/no training is the most charitable explanation.
I suppose enough people will grasp at this take.
Poor training seems plausible, if not likely. But then it's not murder / "extrajudicial killing".
Incredulity, like sarcasm, does not convey well in text.
No, really, the Sig Sauer P320 is known for unintentionally discharging: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46759664
The only person suggesting the gun went off while holstered was the sibling comment by ‘AngryData’. After ICE discoverers the gun and yells “gun! Gun!” the Sig discharges into the ground (visible in some of the videos) before he is shot 3 times.
