The double standard: an armed criminal (Jacob Blake) and a drug addict about to OD (Mr. Fentanyl Floyd) get riots, protests and politicians kneeling in their name. This woman, who was unarmed and exercising her right to "peacefully protest" as per the words of CNN since June, is shot and nobody utters a peep.
Its worse. Dozens on here are celebrating it.
I do give Schumer credit for regretting the loss of her life. Pence and McConnell said nothing about it. The rest of his speech was inflammatory drivel.
She also had two protection orders against her for harassing her husband's ex...including an incident where she she was accusing if screaming at and threatening her and rear ending her car three times. She appears to have had some serious all around unaddressed anger issues.
Also, interestingly, she apparently spent time in an Air Force unit tasked with handling civil disturbances in DC which reinforces my belief that she should have understood the seriousness and potential consequences of the decisions she made this week.
Well, her husband's ex might be glad she don't have to deal with her anymore then if this is true.

Incidents are not comparable.
One takes place in a street involving normal uniform police tasked with maintaining peace and protecting all (including potential criminals) in an area.
This incident occurred in a breached government building with some of the highest level elected officials in session. The Capitol police are not normal police task with maintaining peace. They are similar to Secret Service agents tasked as a protection detail to a certain group of individuals; Congress.
Rush an individual on the street.. the police are task with arresting you.
Rush an the POTUS (or similar official)... their protective detail are task with stopping you with any means necessary.

Did Trump say anything about the people who lost their lives, I might have missed it.
I've been watching more videos of what happened and they have changed my mind on the "protest". Although I still think she should not have been shot and it wasn't justified, what happened in DC is worse than what I originally thought. There were many people not protesting peacefully and they should be outed and charged.
There were also pipe bombs and a vehicle found with weapons, bomb materials, and molotov cocktails. It could have been worse... a lot worse A police officer has also died. There is a felony federal murder case now. Apparently some rioters were walking around with zip ties to tie up hostages if it got that far.
While I still believe the shooting is justified because of her actions of breaching a barricade, I am not total agreement with others that other rioters should have been shot as well. I think that would have been a huge PR problem as well. I'm on the fence about that one... even though I certainly understand that this is an attack on our country.
I do agree with you that as many of these people should be outed and charged. Not only for those that actually breached the Capitol building but also the outer fencing as well.

So where was the outrage when ANTIFA/BLM stormed the White House perimeter and vandalized and broke into federal courthouses? Senile Uncle Joe is right, BLM really were treated differently.
I watched multiple videos of the woman getting shot inside the Capitol building. She was unarmed, she was not attacking anyone, so why was she shot? The officer who shot her could have easily detained and arrested her instead of shooting her to death.
Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was murdered by the officer in cold blood, was a military veteran from San Diego.
A couple of broken windows does not warrant shooting someone to death.
Just like using a counterfeit $20 doesn’t justify 4 officers strangling a man?
