Again, he didn’t fire on them. That’s clear from the video. Your misunderstanding comes from Bovino’s claim that he “violently resisted”, which you apparently interpreted as “fired upon,” which is not what Bovino said.
That and this:
A law enforcement source who spoke with CNN separately said a struggle ensued between agents and the man who approached them. Agents attempted to disarm the man; a struggle ensued, and the man grabbed his gun and fired a shot,
which was just flat out wrong.

Just before being attacked, disarmed and then murdered by the state for protecting his community.

There’s no reforming this. Abolish this violent terrorist organization and remove them from our cities.

I agree, but I doubt that will happen. Senate should not approve their funding next week.

Open carry

Open carry. Bad idea all around.
Apparently, it's not a good idea to obey the carry laws because the government will just gun you down anyway. 1st and 2nd Amendment violations, which sound bad if it weren't plain murder.

Schumer just released a statement saying that the Dems won't vote for the appropriations bill if it includes the current DHS funding bill:

Perhaps, but it is legal and guaranteed by the Constitution, and our conservative friends have frequently impressed upon us the necessity of having an armed society. If people in this country cannot exercise their legal rights without fear of being killed for doing so, then that illustrates a fundamental breakdown of societal order.

Ultimately, if one of the things that comes out of this is that people are no longer allowed to carry guns in public, I think that might be a net positive for society. But I'm not holding my breath for it actually happening.

Notably, he was disarmed by an agent reaching into his holster and removing the gun. He did not even draw it.

He definitely was disarmed, and then they shot him down. Somebody probably heard "gun!" and then started firing because they've had two days training (signing papers, not getting background checks, etc.).

Federal agents involved in deadly shooting in Minneapolis were acting in self-defense, DHS says

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents involved in a deadly shooting this morning in Minneapolis were acting in self-defense, saying the man who was fatally shot “violently resisted” their attempts to disarm him.​
The department said agents were conducting a targeted operation against an undocumented immigrant “wanted for violent assault,” when an “individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”​
Here is a thought -don't fight Federal Law enforcement. especially when armed.

And sure don't fire it!

A law enforcement source who spoke with CNN separately said a struggle ensued between agents and the man who approached them. Agents attempted to disarm the man; a struggle ensued, and the man grabbed his gun and fired a shot,
NO he did not. He was disarmed before there was any shooting. All gunshots were fired into a disarmed man laying on the ground. There are more videos showing him being disarmed first. It was murder.

Supposedly the shooter was an RSO. Makes me wonder about the safety of CBP's training ranges.

I've heard plenty of talk over the years about how the real purpose of the 2nd amendment is so that citizens can protect themselves from government tyranny.
Ok, so what is the wisdom of one legally arm man confronting a government he believes is tyrannical all by himself?

The only "armed, unbalanced fools" I've seen in Minneapolis have been feds.
If that is, and it seems to be the opinion of left wing agitators. Then what wacko reasoning concludes, hey the feds are shooting loud obnoxious punks, lets go block traffic, shout at them and blow whistles in their faces so that they can't do their jobs.
Maybe we should bring a gun and show them that we are serious about disrupting them from carrying out their mandate. Oh bless those illegals especially the criminal element. They didn't get enough hugs when they were children.

See you there when I finish my drink.

He was hardly alone, even in going armed - I've seen plenty of pictures of armed citizens in Minneapolis. Even more after today's events.

Did he pull his gun? Was trying to shoot the agents? No. He was abiding by the law. Next question.

YES he did, the video along with a second one from the same side of the street show him fighting with the officers. He fires a shot that cause the officers to jump back and they RETURNED fire killing him.

Clearly you live in some alternate reality. Because the only other possible explanation would be that you're both blind and an idiot, and I would never insult you like that.

How did he fire a shot with his gun holstered? It remained holstered until the ICE agent removed it and walked away with it just prior to the first shot which was fired by an ICE agent.
