> It's not clear from any of the videos that he did not pose any immediate threat, even though people keep saying that.

So where do you see the potential threatening behavior? When the agent shoots Alex in the back, he is kneeling on the ground and being restrained by several agents. He has not acted in a threatening manner before the shooting nor did he physically attack the agents. The DHS report does not mention any threat either and they have already reviewed bodycam footage.

> Do not harass anyone who has a gun if you aren't willing to accept the risk that it could escalate into you losing your life.

As long as you're not attacking an officer/agent with a weapon, that risk should be very close to zero. Otherwise you're sending a very chill message to the general public.

> I do not have any particular positive or negative opinion about DHS

So you have no issues with the initial statements by Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino and Stephen Miller?
