Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

A murder by secret police in Minneapolis, the hub of the upper middle western province of Minnesota, has led to protests and increasingly heavy handed repression by state security services. Outside experts say this may be the spark that ignites a powder keg of simmering unrest against the regime

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
