==============
Video of the incident showed at least five agents wrestle the man to the
ground, before 10 shots rang out.
Before the shots, one officer is shown repeatedly hitting the man in the
head with an object thought to be a pepper spray canister. The agents
back away from the man after the first shot, with at least two officers
seen with guns drawn.
The video ends with ICE agents walking away as the man lays motionless on
the pavement.
...
The Department for Homeland Security (DHS) claimed the man shot yesterday
had been “armed” and that he had “violently” resisted attempts to disarm
him.
But a second video clip uploaded later shows that in the moments before
he was shot, he was holding a phone and filming ICE officers. No weapon
is visible in his hands, and he is seen backing away from an officer who
shoved him towards the pavement.
A second angle of the shooting, which emerged later, shows the victim was
neither brandishing a weapon nor violently resisting before being shot.
