Just watched this analysis of the shooting, including some video I hadn't seen before.
Male nurse had no gun in his hands, and didn't draw his gun.
The agent shot him after he saw that the gun had been taken away, as it probably didn't even register with him that the guy was now disarmed even though he was looking right at it.
Does it offer a possible clue as to why he was shot ten times?

Do I Need to Clean My Gun After Every Use?
Yes, cleaning your gun after every use is highly recommended and, in most cases, essential for maintaining its performance, reliability, and longevity. Neglecting regular cleaning allows fouling, including powder residue, lead deposits, and copper shavings, to accumulate, leading to malfunctions, decreased accuracy, and potential damage to the firearm.

What if it's not my baby? And my car is my baby? That someone would kill switch to take away? And perhaps they'll kill switch me too?
But yes, let's give every miscreant who can scrape together a couple bucks the ability to stop cripple our cars whenever they please.
