Honestly, I'm just trying to be neutral here. I didn't have any sympathy for BLM protesters who fought with cops, I don't have sympathy for looters who get shot, I'm not going to have any for a protester who gets shot in the Capitol when a mob is trying to force its way into an area they don't currently hold.
You're wrong. We entrust cops with the a literal license to kill. We arm them, train them, and empower them to use deadly force when absolutely necessary. In return, we're allowed to hold them to an extremely high standard of probable cause for using that force.
"they weren't supposed to be there" is not a good enough reason for shooting someone.
I can't believe that people afraid of a dictatorship are perfectly ok saying "well, cops should just be allowed to have "red lines" where they can shoot anyone who crosses it"
