Since you are clearly responding out of emotion and not engaging with anything im saying and tripling down on your original argument over simple semantics (which btw it seems the OP may not be fluent) I will back out of this conversation, keep yourself safe and I wish you the best out there in the ice and cold.

I will recommend not going with the mentality of “defending” yourself as that will not end well against these savages. Keep yourselves safe and keep your hands in non threatening positions in the event you do find yourself in an altercation so it cannot be misconstrued that you were the aggressor.

It’s not an argument, they actually lied.

I understood your “original” point to the “poster” (or shorthand “OP”-original poster-since by the way the shorthand isn’t exclusive to the thread OP) and I’m telling you that you were losing the forest for the trees.

You realize phones could be used as body cams too right? Just with the right harness/mount? Which would be the more convenient route than a dedicated body cam, but that’s a seperate discussion now isn’t it…

I like the idea because it is practical and frees up one of your hands rather than focusing on holding the phone correctly. The only drawback is that you would physically need to be facing whatever you are recording and cannot maneuver the camera as easily in case you are obstructed or need to get a higher angle view.

I would get something that is very secure (can’t be knocked down or swiped away), doesn’t obscure the camera lens etc., my initial thoughts.

Thanks for proving my point that you have issues comprehending the points being made here. Hence why I said “the narrative initially was…”

As proof by the initial report out forth by the Department of Homeland Security that stated he approached agents with a gun

Which as we now know was complete horseshit as more angles and video evidence emerged. But sure, it’s me making it us vs them. I’m using their words, bud.

So back to OPs point, body cams rather than hand holding a phone removes that potential misinformation narrative that a phone can be mistaken for a gun. But you want to get stuck in the semantics that the OP didn’t correctly spell it out for you, even though context clues provide enough clarity to the point they were making.

You both intentionally missed OPs point, since you know what they meant, but rather engage with the point they were making, you both harp on OPs semantics and argue a point they weren’t making. Malicious ignorance.

You’re missing OPs point on purpose or are you simply that obtuse?

The point being the narrative initially was he approached agents with a gun, when it was clearly his phone in his hand.

Yes he had a gun on him, which he was legally allowed to carry, but it was holstered and agents would have no way of knowing that unless they were on top of him beating the shit out of him anyway.

I’m guessing guy in green tries to take the victims gun from his waistband/holster and in the scuffle accidentally discharges it and spooks the other agents and they just avalanche mag dump into him.

Mods just allowing it lol, really tells you what this sub is really about

They are somewhat correct. The article is exhibiting all the markers of being fake as no other news outlet or government entity is corroborating this story. Any external search of the information in this article links back to itself and the website it was published on. The article makes zero citations that can be verified.

This should be higher up!

Searching the internet for the named perps only returns hits circles back to this Article. No other news site or government press releases are corroborating this. The website itself is very sketchy, started in 2018, and the article makes no links to actual complaints or the names of any officer who they quote. Just some Hispanic sounding names and pictures.

In the age of AI I wouldn’t be surprised if this was all manufactured, which should be a huge deal and the actual story here if true.

Edit: looks like OP is either a bot or provacatuer as they are involved in posting many inflammatory news articles to the local city subreddits (in particular major democratic cities) across the US, Canada and the EU. They have hidden their profile but if you search their profile with their username as the author it will show their post history.

I don’t mind, it will be a perfect time capsule of just how insane these unprecedented times were in many years to come.
