IMO she was shot to protect legislators. Whether or not it was reasonable for that cop to believe that, or whether or not that was in the cops mind, is where I am at.

Gun them down. BLM, ANTIFA, J6ers who were rioting, any rioter who destroys property or endangers life.

I'll help.

I haven't been able to open that link (requires signing in to google).

still doesn't negate my comment about your profession.

Why didn't the Capital Police or the DC tactical police that were right there with them stop them before they broke into the Speaker's Lobby?

death penalty for property damage (in this case, breaking a window) is an extreme position to hold.

Babbit shouldn't have been shot but she also shouldn't have been breaking into where she was either. Jan6 was a great manipulation of people from a number of sources and was mishandled on several levels in my opinion.

Absolutely agree if there are other factors involved it can easily escalate to deserve a harsher punishment or action.

Good ol' keyboard tough guy. LOL….

One would wonder what was so important on the other side of that window that would be more important than a human life?

Other human lives.

Don't forget the cops that were assaulted by the rioters that day. And they wanted to hang Mike Pence for doing his job.

that's BS, and you know it. if they had constructed an ACTUAL, functioning gallows (rather than the effigy-esque one the mainstream media/progressives tout) then "maybe".

effigies have been considered legitimate Freedom of Speech protests for centuries. until of course, they were used against the Deep State on January 6.

one cop felt the "need" to use deadly force that day...ONE.

during all that "rioting"...just ONE.

One with a very spotty record.

so the difference between legally killing someone is an eighth inch glass panel?
