2/ Bannon guest: “They say he pulled a weapon on them and they shot him.That makes sense, they aren’t just going to shoot an unarmed guy on the sidewalk. There are eight 8 agents swarming this guy, so obviously he pulled a weapon out. He did something that they had to escalate to the use of force.”
