The initial plan for limited strikes was crippled by the extremely harsh crackdown on the protesters. Had the protests still had the momentum of the 9th/10th, even limited strikes could have had a major impact.

The video also shows that the agent who fired the shots drew his weapon as the other agent, wearing a grey jacket, removed the victim’s handgun from the holster in his waistband.

The agent grabs his arm, startling him and causing him to fire one round. After being shot, the victim attempts to get up and is able to do so because the other agents release him, having also been startled. The shooting agent then fires rounds two, three, and four at the victim.

The pistol the officer walks away with has an optic mounted on it and looks very likely to be a match to the weapon it is stated that the man was carrying.

The officer in the grey jacket enters the altercation unarmed, reaches over the man as others hold him down and then walks away with a pistol in his hand.

It appears that this officer managed to disarm the suspect prior to the first shots.

Immediately after the first shots, the officer can be seen some distance from the man, but the bottle of mace is seen dropping at the feet of the man.

There is the possibility that the man attempted to (and possibly succeeded in) grabbing the bottle of mace.

Another officer wearing a coyote colored beanie is armed with a bottle of mace in his right hand. Just prior to the shooting in screenshot 2 he can be seen beating the man with the bottle of mace several times.
