Doesn’t matter if he was or wasn’t resisting arrest. Totally irrelevant. This is supposed to be a country of laws. There is no law that allows for execution for resisting arrest.

I guarantee you there was also no legal cause for arrest either, these Nazis just like to assert that filming them and making noise is a federal crime.

They have two agents holding his hands to the ground while another is beating him in the face with a baton repeatedly. That's not an arrest!

They're just thugs who gang up on people and use the violence they themselves are committing as proof of "resisting arrest" to justify escalating violence. There are now numerous videos of them using excessive force, like spraying a from inches away while while am agent has them pinned down, hands behind back. Or a subdued person in cuffs getting a knee to the back of their neck.

Here's the source for that one (just in case anyone is living under a rock or something),

And, as everyone knows, the typical punishment for resisting arrest is public execution.

In revolutionary France.

They've been swarming everyone with multiple agents, even people that are objectively not resisting arrest [1]. That's part of what they do to provide cover. It makes it harder to see the victim in question for any bystander taping the incident. Same reason why whenever they arrest a protester they immediately surround them.

It didn't warrant the pistol whipping either

Stop with the soft defense/soft endorsement of Federal officials executing people on the street.
