Make up your mind.Unlike your other examples, she was not in a physical confrontation with anyone. Someone using drugs is engaged "in criminal activity". Lets just shoot them all.
The fact they didn't shoot rioters on sight is no excuse not to shoot insurrectionists on site.

A few dead insurrectionists at the beginning of the siege would have stopped it.

Yes, breaking into the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the certification of the election was a crime and a treasonous act. The major failure was Babbitt was the only one killed.

The cops job was to protect the people in the Capitol. If she didn't want to get killed maybe she should not have been storming the Capitol.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. QAnon idiot is now pushing up daisies. May she rot in hell alongside Benedict Arnold, the Rosenbergs and others of her ilk.

Another part is making sure cops are so scared to use their weapon that they get themselves killed.

As you can see, folks, all blue lives matter rhetoric Trumpies have been using was pure bull****.

When the looting starts the shooting starts.-- Donald Trump

That pretty much applies here.

Despite some of the silliness pervasive on this site and elsewhere, an understanding needs to be had of the circumstances that exist in America today. And that is that civil disorder ,civil unrest , has become nearly normal. This all came to fruition after the media , without a doubt, at the bequest of certain Elites, pushed the notion of racial injustice, systematic racism, institutional racism etc.

They basically manufactured a problem that hardly existed , and then used the unfortunate deaths of African Americans at the hands of Police as the fuse. Of course, some of the deaths may indeed be criminal acts of LEO, but statistics show they are actually rare . What actually caused the most civil unrest could be attributed to the lies spread my Leftist MSM, and the absolute lack of acknowledgment of the lies by some Dems . These lies have been well documented as being the case.

So if Civil Unrest is the new normal, what is the cause ?. Well the extremes of the political spectrum have always been explosive in nature , they have just increased their game. But the Civil Unrest has spread to other segments of society, with new grievances, some legitimate,others contrived and born of fantasy.

Hence the BLM movement. An actual Political ideology that has suddenly and mysteriously appeared in the mainstream . It is almost shocking to see an American Women’s National Soccer Team , wearing the colors of our country, parade around, and have their coaches and staff wearing BLM T shirts. And it is all over the sports world and elsewhere. Democrats turned a blind eye to the destruction and mayhem, and deaths across America the past year , as it is part of the cause.

That’s why the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6th was business as usual. Civil disorder is spreading to those Americans that may not have thought about participating in it, but they were perhaps motivated to do so because it has been accepted, condoned, and even supported by Democrats in many cases.

Had the members of Congress stepped out of their bubble and looked across America, they would have seen citizens scurrying for their lives as they did. “ armed attack on the capitol” ? Just another weekend in Chicago. Assaults. On Polce Officers? Just another BLM demonstration in New York City. See the big picture ?

When innocent American citizens were forced to live through riots, civil disobedience and mayhem all year, Nancy Pelosi condemned the Federal Officers that were sent to Portland. called them storm troopers or words to that affect. Not a peep from her condemning the burning of Minneapolis , Kenosha and elsewhere. Not her problem.

So now, it is her problem. Right on her doorstep. So now , it is brought to her attention. However rather than confront the real issue, that the Civil Disorder is due to Government Disorder, Distrust in Government, a Loss of faith in Government, NO Confidence in Government , etc, she embarks on some fantasy about White Supremacy . And they rest of the Democrats and a few Repubs buy into that pile of crap .

So now Mr. Conservative here wants the federal government to intervene in what is the province of the state.

The governor's of the states should proclaim, as Donald Trump did.... When the looting starts the shooting starts. There also should have been a few more scumbags shot on the sixth of January. It's time for law and order. It's time to kill people of all colors and all ideologies who don't respect the lives and property of others. But let's not allow the federal government to use the current volatile environment to further weaken our Republic.

The other side did it first ain't no damn excuse for the violation of law and order.

Yesterday, after 45 days of fanning the flames with the Sicknick fire extinguisher/murder/killing left-wing propaganda, Newsweek ran a ‘Fact Check’ on the outrageous tale:

Fact Check: “Was Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick Killed By Rioters?”

Their Verdict: “Unknown”

https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-...ioters-1571891

No word if the hundreds of ‘journalists’ who spread the propaganda or the hundreds of left wing politicians (from Biden on down) who screamed the lie will be apologizing and/or resigning.

No word if those who foolishly believed the left-wing propaganda (and THE major talking point in exaggerating the riot) feel like duped suckers.

There is very limited excuse for the violation of law and order. That said, there is some very strange "law and order" happening these days. I don't believe the point of "the other side did it first" is to justify the the mob on Jan. 6 as it is to show the double standard and hypocrisy shown by the media and other individuals during coverage of last summers siege of cities, federal roadways, businesses, and attacks on police and citizens that lasted for months with federal and state government endorsement by ordering police to stand down and encouraging the protests.

This really ain't that complicated. I'm taking the conservative stance here. You are the bleeding heart liberal crying over a cop killing a criminal while engaging in crime. Of course ya one of the white identity Trumpies I spoke of earlier. Principles don't matter.
shooting someone who poses no physical threat is hardly a conservative value, no matter how hard you laughably twist it.

cite where I 'cried', and how am I a 'white identity trumpie', whatever that is?

We have had a steady stream of accusations, tin-foil hat conspiracies and outright lies that the right leaning media has promulgated over the last 4 years+. This was embraced and spread by the prior administration with gusto ensuring a steady stream of falsehoods and disinformation to muddy the waters preventing honest discussion on what is happening when it happens.

And now you are calling foul because an establish news source who is respected around the world (unlike Breitbart, OAN and the rest of them) printed a story that may not have had its facts in order....Thats Hubris!
