    Tinfoil hat answer: The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.

      It really is funny how rampage shooters get apprehended alive, while traffic stops escalate into executions

        Special forces are selected and trained, not traffic cops with ego issues, I guess

      The DC, capitol, and federal police are generally better trained, and they’re unlikely to start shooting at a sprinting target when there’s a bunch of bystanders beyond him. All it takes is one guy to clothesline him.

        They did shoot, though. They just missed a lot.

          I’m betting that the one agent that was shot, was shot by friendly fire.

      American police are only good at shooting unarmed people. When faced with an actual real threat, they’re cowards.

          Throw enough fat at a problem and you can solve it.

            Too scared to shoot, but brave enough to tackle a man with a shotgun.

      the first time was totally staged, why not the 3rd time. of course its to shore up his low support, plus how badly the iran war is going on and hte epstein files, his distractions are only getting more desperate.

      Vance can pardon him after Trump dies. He’s 31, Trump is 80 and in poor health
