He could have been. Guys I know from Idaho have holster like pockets sewn into their coats to function like a shoulder holster, too. The question arises of whether he was armed or not, and whether he had already been shot at that point in the video and was reaching for the wound in a reflex motion.

There are plenty of shooters out there who could have intentionally hit him there and counted on that reflex in a no-audio video to appear like he was reaching for a weapon to justify killing him.

This was a set-up from the git-go, from lies about safe passage to a peaceful meeting, to the road block with drone overhead.

Someone was going to get killed over this to intimidate the masses.

“There are plenty of shooters out there who could have intentionally hit him there and counted on that reflex in a no-audio video to appear like he was reaching for a weapon to justify killing him.”

I dont know if he was armed at the time or not or if there was a safe passage agreement. He was known to go armed and was a member of a group of armed individuals that occupied a govt station. It is reasonable that the police assumed he was armed. After trying to run a roadblock any movement that looked like he was reaching for a weapon will likely get you shot. No conspiracy necessary.

I dont know what happened at the roadblock, who shot first, who was carrying a gun or anything else, and neither does anyone else from looking at that crappy video. Those that claim they do are reading their own bias into it.
