Nope, not entirely different. You just don't like hearing it in that perspective because you know what you would do. In both cases, a mob illegally breaks in. In both cases, said mobs threaten peoples' lives. In both cases, they break into where their potential victims are hiding. In both cases, people in the mob breaking in would be shot. In both cases, the shooter would not face charges because in both cases, it would be a justifiable shoot.Not entirely different in terms of it being a justified shoot.It's easy to justify. Imagine you're at home with your family. Your family is hiding behind you in a bedroom while you've got your gun trained on the door to that bedroom because a mob of people had broken into your house, could be heard chanting for the death of your family members, and were breaking in through your bedroom door which you barricaded as extra protection to keep them out. Suddenly, the door is broken down and the mob starts coming in. Tell me you wouldn't shoot the first person coming in....It wasn’t necessarily the only choice but it was probably a reasonable one.So the only two choices were let her proceed or shoot her dead?
A handful of officers were all that stood in between a violent mob and members of Congress whom they have a duty to protect.
This shouldn’t be controversial. If a horde of people were running through the White House and they were breaking into a door outside the Oval Office, no one would question secret service shooting someone.
It's amazing how far you will go to justify this woman dying because you hate her politics and you see her death as a political victory.
In all likelihood, you would have already emptied your gun blindly through the door before they even break into your bedroom.
And if you killed any of them, you'd be facing no charges because it would be a justified shoot.
Two entirely different situations, and you ignore the fact that in your scenario other police officers would have been mixed in with the "mob"
Every time you try to justify this you have to get more and more retarded doing it.
Also, defense of one's home is a different circumstance than policing, and thus has different rules of use of deadly force.
100% different.
