You can clearly see in the videos that the gun was removed by an agent before the first shot.

Only only agent was near at the time, faced with 3 aggressive protestors. Other agents arrived later, especially the shooter. The shooter didn't take part in any pepper spraying, restraining or anything. He was just moving around, until the gun was discovered. His actions were completely non-aggressive before that point.
Hitting with can might have been a distraction technique,designed to distract someone from possibly going for a weapon. Same thing with breaking a car window from outside, when a person is inside. Standard procedure, even in the UK.
The agent was being confronted in the middle of the road. If somebody did that to you, wouldn't you consider that aggressive?
A proper response to being attempting to be restrained by law enforcement, is to stay still and be restrained and lie on the ground. NOT try to get up. In so, so many cases, it is the resisting that causes deaths.
