8. I'm hearing he was a citizen observer

Exercising his first amendment right to opeacefully assemble and observe, and also exercising his second amendment right by legally conceal carrying.

W J en they grabbed him and threw him to the ground, about the third or fourth time he was pummeled, it loos like the gun fell out and dropped from his waste and to his feet- and that’s the agent above him pulled out his gun and shot him the first time-

It appears it was a second officer who fired the next ten or so rounds - (10, 11, i lost track)
