Sam Harris

They disarm him.

That's it.

They don't kill him.

Once he is restrained and he, again, he never reached for his gun.

They found it on his belt when they were wrestling with him.

And I mean, that engagement, you know, the fact that they went hands-on at that point seemed totally illegitimate, but let's just say it was fine, right?

Let's just say they had reason to force him to the ground, pepper spray him, et cetera.

Again, the video doesn't suggest that, but even if you're going to price all of that in and give them the benefit of the doubt,

What then happened is they discovered a gun on his belt.

You see one cop grab it and walk away.

And then you see him shot by, I don't know how many guys, I think it was at least two, for no reason.

There's nothing about this video that changes that picture.

Yeah, well, the thing I'm focusing on here, though, the thing that truly astounds me is that, yes, all of this is true.

This is not the way you want to behave as a protester.

I have no idea who this guy was.

I mean, obviously, he was immediately vilified by the federal government at every level, which is insane, right?

We shouldn't have a government that does that.

But even if he was the worst person on earth, the way he was killed, the fact that he was killed, and the subsequent statements about that killing are shocking.

Right.

And they're especially shocking for how completely they repudiate the Second Amendment.
