In all of these controversial police shooting incidents there's always one common factor that is involved in every single case: The suspect refuses to cooperate with police. All the guy had to do was place his hands behind his back and comply with officer commands, that's all. The root issue isn't the police or their tactics, it's people who choose to not cooperate and thus put their own lives in danger.
What if that person breaking in was the one who was PAYING the house payment though? Makes it a little different no?
You say that as if 100% of citizens, much less 100% of the protestors, are taxpayers. By your logic, the public should be allowed at any time to burst into the Capitol during proceedings, or the White House including the Oval Office, the Pentagon, federal courthouses including the Supreme Court when cases are in session, the back end of the post office where mail is sorted, police stations, military bases, the US Mint, etc. It's dangerous and doesn't make sense.
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.
Whatever happened to "if you don't want to get shot by police, don't break the law"? Doesn't fit now that it's a white conservative, does it.... Gonna have to change that tagline.
They erected a gallows out front and were chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" as they forced their way inside... they carried zip ties to control hostages and planted bombs, they trampled one of their own to death, beat a cop to death and put 16 more cops in the hospital... and you're still trying to push this nonsense that it was just a few mischievous kids that threw some pebbles and broke a couple of windows.
It was nothing more than a minor act of civil disobedience...the proof of this is what happened when they gained access...
NONE of them attempted to address the public, to inform them of the regime change, (even though they knew their actions were being broadcast on TV), how do you explain that?
They were also vandalizing and stealing, (picture of the guy carrying the podium away)...this is NOT a coup, or attempt to overthrow the Govt! LOL

Oh that's really special...from now on traitors breaking into a government building should be screened on the way in and given a get out jail free card if they are making the house payment.

if our govt was truly representing the will of the people, there would be no need to break into any Govt buildings.
It really speaks volumes today that 'ELECTED OFFICIALS' must be so shielded and protected FROM THE CITIZENS! (think about that for a minute).
There may not have been any knives spotted or found in the building, but I watched the videos on HULU this morning and there is a portion where rioters were calling out asking if anyone had knives and other rioters replying that they did. It was extremely clear and unmistakable audio too.
It is getting a lot of attention that John Sullivan (an African American BLM/Antifa guy who bizarrely went along ‘just to film everything’ and who has released the clearest film of the shooting and the preceding 30 mins) called out at one point in his film that he was carrying a knife...he has since denied carrying one. He was about 8 feet (at most from Ashli when she was shot BTW). I didn’t hear any other knife talk (and didn’t see any...much less guns) in his video.
What irks me to no end is we've been subjected to years of rioting and social recriminations over black assailants attacking and being shot by police. And here we have a bad shooting, and we're told it's fine and dandy. It's just ridiculous. The double standards, dishonesty and hypocrisy is just off the charts.

I never said or seen anyone serious said an unarmed protestor, rioter or whoever should be ambush shot dead for advancing.
Anyway if someone doesn't prosecute this officer for manslaughter then let's not ever hear anyone complain ever again about a bad police shooting.
