There is a SIGNIFICANT difference between what happened in the two videos. Are you able to step out of your dishonesty and bias for even a moment and acknowledge what that is?

Well, the most obvious difference is that he appears much less aggressive in the video where he gets shot.

That would NOT be the most obvious difference from the perspective of the officers involved. Think you can come up with what that is? Show us that you're capable of being objective and honest for a change.

to most people, the word "brandishing" means "holding or pointing conspicuously in a threatening way." The actual legal meaning of course varies from state to state, but is quite a bit more broad than conventional understanding. Brandishing usually means revealing the presence of a weapon in any way, to include merely inadvertently revealing it in a holster. If you are concealed carrying, you have a duty to keep the weapon concealed. If you don't.....clothes too tight.....an unfastened vest or jacket blowing open in the wind, a shirt that's too short to cover fully while lifting your arms upwards, etc.....you are brandishing the weapon.
I have a (large bellied) customer who, while in an argument with his (commercial) neighbor, got arrested for brandishing. He lifted his arm to point at street sign, and his untucked t-shirt (all he ever wore) raised up enough for the neighbor to get a glimpse of my friend's holstered pistol. Neighbor called he police. Friend beat the rap, but he did not beat the ride.

This is my opinion. You know where I say "I would say". That indicates opinion. Here is the quote...
"Homan then acknowledged the mission "got away a little bit" from its initial intent to perform targeted operations, a sentiment not publicly vocalized by other Trump administration officials." (means exactly)

You responded to a post about apple cider vinegar being sprayed on a Congresswoman with an article about Tom Homan. Why?

You need to educate yourself on what is going on. They are drawing down. They are changing from sweeps to targeted enforcement. MN is going to cooperate on the criminal apprehensions.

Homan never said they could do better to de-escalate. That's more lies from you. According to Homan in your own link, there is not and will not be a draw down without measurable success.

It is a quid pro quo, they are drawing down and MN is cooperating on the jails. ICE is not interacting and no longer doing sweeps. It is called compromise. Adults do it, I know you wouldn't understand.
Homan is a pro, admitted the operations weren't perfect and they could to better to de-escalated. You really should do a little research.
