It appears the VA nurse was disabled with pepper spray before being shot. Hard to believe someone with pepper spray in his eyes, knocked onto his back, hands and elbows on the ground, can be much of a threat even if he had a gun stuffed in his pants, which he didn't have when he was shot. Then he's shot dead with three rounds. Clearly laying limp and lifeless. Then he's shot SEVEN MORE TIMES. Keeriste!! What a bunch of nut jobs! Armed hooligans in US uniforms ... well, okay ... with official govt patches (maybe official?) sewed on whatever clothing the "officers" can find at an army surplus store or Amazon.
Federal officials said Alex Pretti, 37, “brandished” a handgun at officers and intended to kill them. Videos show Pretti didn’t have a firearm in his hand before he was shot.

Republicans need to do damage control in a major way FAST. Not much chance of that unless someone inside the White House can stuff a sock in Trump's mouth and break all his fingers. Maybe that won't be enough. He might figure out a way to type with his butt. He already seems to be able to talk out of it well enough.
