Again, that isn't a valid use for deadly force by a police officer.
Was she or was she not trying to get through the barricade?
This really isn’t complicated. You’re embarrassing yourself.
Police don't wait to check if someone is armed when they pose a threat to the safety of others.
You'll recall, Michael Brown wasn't armed when he was shot. But he posed a threat to the safety of others.

Falling through the barricade, and she didn't even get 1/2 way through because she fell BACK into the room she was in.
Those barriers weren’t the last line before reaching the members of Congress.
They tried to get to the floor but the police had their guns drawn on them and they stopped.

Your inability to understand what I said isn’t my problem.
If she was halfway through she would have fallen forward.
Try leaning 51% over a bridge edge and see if you stay on.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying she was a member of a violent mob trying to break through a police barricade to get to lawmakers inside the House chamber. As soon as that mob broke out a window to gain access, a cop drew his service weapon. Ashes Targetpractice was the first member of that mob to attempt to climb through and she was shot. Nobody else tried so nobody else was shot. Had anybody else been stupid enough to try, I expect they would have met the same fate.
Here's video of the guy standing right next to her...
"A number of police and secret service were saying, 'get back', 'get down', 'get out of the way,' she didn't heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull 'em back, they shot her in the neck." ~ Thomas Baranyi, 1.6.21
A mob is an immediate threatShe was not an immediate threat to them, again removing the allowance for the use of deadly force.
She was, but that isn't a reason to shoot her. she posed no deadly risk to anyone. She should have been detained. She was shot out of hand.
So you can stop your bullshit about her ”halfway hanging through a broken window“ or how far through the window she got.She was, but that isn't a reason to shoot her.
he was advancing directly on a police officer. He was also a big ass dude.
You lost the moment you tried to twist my argument.Walk away dickless, you lost.
No one ever suggested shooting blindly through doors would be appropriate.And shooting blindly through those doors would have been another violation of deadly force rules.
A mob is an immediate threat
She was leading a violent mob that injured 140 police officers
Bullshit. If she gets through, others would have stormed the chamber, just as they did in other parts of the Capitol. The difference at this location was it was the last line of defense into the House chamber where some lawmakers and staff were still holed up.
