21. It wasn't the victim's gun

I watched a video being discussed on The Bulwark and they pointed out that in a video posted by Bellingcat, an agent leans down, pulls out the gun and walks away with it. He was several feet away with his back turned to the 'scrum' that was beating/wrestling the victim. The gun never went off. The victim was disarmed before he was shot. It would be interesting to know where that gun ended up.

Edited later in the day: I've since seen a video from a different angle, of the agent that took the gun. As he walked away with the gun pointing at the ground it looks like the gun ***MIGHT*** have gone off. I honestly don't think so, but now I'm not sure as I was earlier. I'll be interested to see if there is more info as to whether or not that happened.
