Situation is unfolding but the cops are in full damage control mode. Local organizations are rallying. Picture is frames before the crime. You can see the perpetrator pointing their gun at the victim who is restrained and on the ground.

Full video of the execution was captured by @mudlord on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbGyT50BB1b

Obviously content warning and I’m hoping the little NSFW checkbox blurs the image.

    This is another angle. The guy has a knife, but that wouldn’t matter if the cops hadn’t tackled him off his bike. And he is fully restrained before they shoot him right in the face. Once he is dead, they start kneeling on him and cuffing his corpse.

    For context, this man was executed in broad daylight for “checking vehicles.”

      They claim two officers were “injured” but the entire interaction seems to be: cops were called cause a guy was looking at cars. They show up, he takes off. They knock him off his bike, grab him, pin him, and shoot him. He does not threaten them. He does not stab them or hit them. They’re absolutely lying about injuries.

      Honestly I can’t even see the knife in his hand in the video. They just yell he has a knife, but his arms are being held and his hands look empty. They seem to pull the knife off him and toss it aside after they kill him. So if it was even his knife (which, let’s be real, cops plant weapons all the time), he wasn’t using it. Looks like it was in a pocket or waistband or on his belt or something from the angle they pull it off him

        The only injury they possibly suffered is the blow from taking the bike at that speed, which was not the riders fault, although I’m surprised there wasn’t friendly fire with how close and sloppy the shooting seemed

          Looks like one of the cops shot the other cop to me. He has his hand behind the victim’s head at the time he gets shot in the face and he flinches his hand away very sharply, even shakes his hand in pain afterwards. Bullet probably went all the way through and he took some shrapnel either from the bullet or bones.
