No knowledge means jack shit. You must have absolute confirming proof before firing. Your very first wish is so way off that the rest not worth reading . The craven cop feared and committed murder. Feelings over facts are deadly, never the reverse.
You can ignore the context all you want of the situation. I'm sure it helps you sleep at night.
But Lt. Byrd was a hero, a member of law enforcement manning the last barrier prior to access to the House Chamber door who held his fire until such time as a clear and present danger was presented (meaning danger of death or serious injury to himself OR OTHERS) and fire a single control shot into center mass of a violet rioter that had just breached the barrier.
