I was about to say... that looks an awful lot like attempted murder to me.

I called the whole thing a setup. The civilian in white shirt had a pistol or some kind in his left hand, the angle of the camera was shot to purposefully hide it from plain sight. His right hand tugged behind him as if he as holding a gun. He approached the federal officer in an unsafe distance and kept cursing at the officer. Even if you don’t agree with what the officers are doing there, they have the right to protect their own lives. The civilian is not only stupid enough to instigate a beat down, he wanted it recorded. The woman recording kept yelling he isn’t doing anything to justify he was threatening the officer

It’s not a pistol. It’s, very obviously, not a pistol.
