Everyone's so busy making fun of Mormons that they're missing that this may be another case of law enforcement shooting someone who was attempting to comply with their instructions.
>One of the agents — identified only as “J.M.” in a detailed criminal complaint filed March 4 in the U.S. District Court of Nevada — opened his suit jacket and flashed his badge.
>Beasley stepped fully into the doorway. He held a loaded pistol against his head.
>“Easy, easy,” yelled J.M.
>“Drop the gun,” shouted a second agent
>As the FBI agents shouted at him, Beasley said later in an interview with The Post, he pointed the pistol toward the ground.
>He was doing what the three agents had asked of him, Beasley said, adding that “I never pointed my gun anywhere except for my head.”
>The FBI maintains in its criminal complaint, though, that he aimed the weapon at the agents. At least one opened fire, striking Beasley in the chest and shoulder.
...
>He was taken to a hospital before being charged with assault on a federal officer.
I don't suppose the FBI were wearing body cameras.
