No one, outside of LEOs, had any business flashing a gun in that environment. Unless they were looking for trouble.
C'mon - get real. That kid was playing cop and was in WAY over his head. The militia and local police, and frankly that pissfuck Trump, should be held accountable for setting up such a dangerous situation.
He was fine. He proved he was not in over his head, when shit got real and he successfully defended himself.
Properly trained LEOs are able resolve situations without getting people killed. He had no such training, no such authority, and no business toting an assault rifle in the middle of a riot.
But now, you dems have a second chance.
You know I'm not a dem. Fuck you for suggesting otherwise.
