Summary:
On November 18, 2025, an armed tactical agent in Charlotte pointed a less-lethal launcher directly at a civilian who was standing several feet away and recording the scene. No threat is visible in the footage, and the civilian appears to be holding only a phone.
Full Description
The agent is wearing tactical gear with a balaclava, helmet, vest, and a yellow taser mounted on his chest. He raises a paintball-style less-lethal launcher and holds it trained on the civilian filming him. His posture is aggressive and steady, indicating an intentional aiming stance rather than a momentary reaction.
