How many times has a cop shot a black man after saying stop three times and the guy didn’t listen? So why is it ok for this stupid white bitch to not listen?You're an idiot, Marty. Politics have nothing to do with it. Sullivan was standing just a few feet away when that happened. Had he been the one shot while climbing through that broken out window, I'd still be calling it a justified shoot.Your argument about other cops not shooting anyone is spurious. You don't know why they were there and you don't know if they knew there were still lawmakers in that chamber and you don't know if they didn't shoot anyone because the cops on the other side of that door were handling keeping the mob out of the chamber.So he should have just let her break in?I didn't say that was justification. That was the result. The justification was protecting the lawmakers in the room behind him.He only had to shoot one person to keep the rest out. Had any others tried to gain access to the House chamber at that point, they too would have been shot.From the officers vantage point, it could have been dozens and dozens and dozens. He didn’t ask them for a head count. The officer knew hundreds of violent protestors were inside the Capitol. He knew that people were attacking officers.How many protesters were in that one hallway? How many officers were in that one hallway?
So that means he was justified in shooting the one woman?
Really?
Try that at any other police interaction and see where that gets you.
And that isn't justification for a shooting by officers. "Pour encouragement les autres" is a soviet tactic, but not a viable police use of force explanation.
Which really doesn't justify deadly force against an unarmed woman trying to jump through a window.
So the only two choices were let her proceed or shoot her dead?
They were already in, there were officers on her side of the barricade, and they didn't shoot anyone.
And the mob wasn't "already in there." They got as far a the entryway leading into the Speaker's Lobby which leads directly into the House chamber. It was the other side of that entryway which was barricaded with stacked furniture and armed police with guns drawn. Ashli Targetpractice ignored all that and got what she deserved. Poor thing. She once proudly served her nation but then dies a traitor.
it shows they didn't see a lethal threat to themselves.
All the rest is just you masturbating to the death of someone you hate politically, and is fucking sad.
And it matter not if those cops didn't feel threatened. They weren't the ones blocking the doors leading into the House chamber. The cops who were, clearly felt an immediate lethal threat as they had their guns drawn.
Armed or unarmed?
