(screen capture)U.S. Border Patrol officer fatally shot a man in Minneapolis shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday morning, federal officials said. The incident sparked protests and violent clashes between demonstrators and authorities.
From the New York Times:
Federal officials said on social media that an agent had fired on a man with a handgun after an “armed struggle.” Social media video verified by The New York Times appears to show the shooting from a distance.
In the footage, several federal agents are seen wrestling a man onto the sidewalk while at least one officer strikes him with an object.
An initial gunshot is heard, and several more follow. At least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds, according to a Times analysis.

Chief Brian O’Hara of the Minneapolis police said that officials have identified the victim. He was an American citizen with no criminal record.
O’Hara added the victim had a firearm permit. Minnesota law allows citizens with a permit to carry their handguns in public, without concealment.
The Department of Homeland Security gave this account of the shooting on social media:
Their lies have already been debunked. He was recording them, they surrounded him, sprayed irritant in his face, then they murdered him. pic.twitter.com/RbmRqWwbVM

It appears from zooming in just moments before ICE/CBP shoot yet another US citizen, one agent removes the victims firearm from his waste holster.
The victim was UNARMED when he was shot multiple times.

Owning a gun is legal.
Carrying a gun is legal.
The victim of today’s ICE murder doesn’t have the gun in his hands during the encounter from any of the video shown. He is on the ground having the shit kicked out of him and being pistol whipped.
Then he is shot repeatedly.…
