“Patriot Muster' protester slaps TV crew's security guard and fires mace before being shot dead
New footage has emerged showing a right-wing 'Patriot Muster' protester arguing with a Black Lives Matter counter-protester seconds before he was shot dead by a television crew's private security guard during dueling rallies outside the Denver Art Museum.
The security guard, who was hired by 9News and has not been named by authorities, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday evening after he opened fire on the unidentified Patriot Muster protester who deployed mace at him during the rally.
In images snapped by a Denver Post photographer, the protester appeared to slap the security guard and then deployed a stream of mace into his face before the guard lifted his handgun and fired, sending the protester staggering backward.”
"Patriot Muster is the name given to pro-police activists who have attended rallies organized by John Tiegen, an ex-Marine and Blackwater private security guard.
The group was formed over the summer as Denver, along with dozens of other cities across the US, was roiled by protests against racism and police brutality.
Patriot Muster made headlines in July when it hosted a 'Back the Blue' rally that descended into chaos when protesters began clashing with counter-protesters. Tiegen accused the counter-protesters of throwing soup cans at his followers.
Tiegen organized another Patriot Muster rally on Saturday at the Denver Civic Center, under the slogan: 'Stand up, show up.'
The slogan bore similarities to President Donald Trump's response when asked to condemn white supremacists and the Proud Boys. Instead of disavowing them he said: 'Stand back and stand by."
