Yep. All of the "wasn't department policy" or "it made me sad to watch" stuff is filler fluff that seems to have little to do with what Chauvin has been overcharged with.
Leave it to a liberal to turn it into racism. No doubt she brought it on herself. But seems to me the officer could've just pushed her back. He was at fairly close range.
Floyd was a dead man walking. His body just hadn't realized it yet. It was more like a suicide when he swallowed his whole stash when he saw the cops.
Chauvin and Floyd have something in common.
My doors are unlocked, I don’t know why someone would climb in a window.
Enjoy teatime with your friendly home invader then.
Will do. I don’t live in fear of scary people coming to rob me. That’s no way to go through life.
If that had been a black hard leftist who'd just climbed through the busted out window I think many here would have been all for their shooting.
Why allow her to get even closer? She was part of the larger zip tie-carrying "Hang Mike Pence" and "Where's Nancy?" crowd. She could have had anything in her backpack and intended to do harm. Glad she didn't make it through the window and into the Speaker's Lobby.
But it wasn't and you went there anyways. "If that had been a black guy he would've gotten it much worse than she did!"
Of course I did. Just helping Trumpees expand their thinking when they say Babbitt was wrongfully shot going through that window. If backpack-wearing hard leftists or black people had stormed the capitol that day, many here likely would have been fine with one or more of them getting shot trying to enter the Speaker's Lobby whether they'd made threats against Mike Pence and members of Congress or not.
Most gun owners will never have to use their gun in self defense. But the one time they need the gun they're glad they have it. And that need goes up quite a bit in some cities, especially in some neighborhoods.
As usual though instead of discussing what actually happened you go the racism route. If the rioters of last summer had shown up at the Capitol, had started throwing Molotov cocktails, smashing everything in sight, and were beating people half to death, killing some, whether they were white or black I suspect quite a few would've been shot. And for sure if half a dozen black guys had been killed white liberals would've said they wouldn't have shot up a white conservative mob like this!
I’m guessing the shooter wasn’t a run of the mill beat cop which is why we don’t know his name. Probably was as well trained as we know how to.
by your criteria now all a police officer has to say is I didnt know her intentions or whether she had a weapon so i shot and killed her just in case.
