This was a bad situation that escalated out of control but it is unwise to bring a gun to a riot, then make aggressive moves towards a police and then violently resist.

FWIW , the guy was pepper sprayed with Law enforcement grade pepper spray which is very nasty stuff.

He then got into a tussel with ICE officers which transfers the pepper spray to the officers. This messes with their breathing and vision - it's miserable.

Not sure the dude deserved to be shot, but the shooting was more than justified

He was at the scene of a Law Enforcement operation. He wasn’t attending a Mid-town Riot. They were there to interfere with an Operation and apprehension.

He should not have been there and with a gun period.

That was just asking for it.

What was that old movie line?

“What we have here is failure to communicate Some men, you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don’t like it any more than you men”.
