Floyd was handcuffed and on the ground when he was murdered slowly by the kind of cop leftists hate with a passion. He should be serving fifty years instead of 22.
A crime is a crime, right? If you wanted her to be shot 'right off the bat' then it's obvious that you're good with Floyd or anyone else being shot 'right off the bat'. With your way of thinking - he should have been shot long before he'd been handcuffed, stuffed into the cop car then pulled out because he'd said he couldn't breathe.

IF he had verbally demanded her to stop and IF he knew she'd heard him and she refused to stop, then he'd made the right call. It doesn't appear that was the case though.

How these terrorists are warmly regarded especially by the media is just alarming because they support the same candidate.

End result, be careful what you wish for.
No. There is a major difference between violent and non-violent crimes.
Passing a counterfeit bill is a non-violent crime (was the bill even counterfeit? Where did he get it?), and was handled properly up to the point that the arresting officer decided to murder him after he was handcuffed.
Babbitt was in the middle of a violent mob smashing glass and trying to break into a locked government building while a session was in progress, with the intention of stopping the certification of an election and possibly finding and lynching people. There were officers there to secure the area that was locked away. There was no way for the officer to know whether she or any of the crowd were armed.
In short, I applaud your decision not to go into law enforcement.

Don't turn it on me, you're the one who wants people to be shot immediately whether they're a direct threat or not.
Floyd resisted arrest, which placed the cops in danger. According to your views he should have been shot no matter what crime he had committed.
Apparently Babbitt never had the opportunity to resist or comply but according to you she should have been shot immediately .
Your hypocrisy is showing .. boldly.
Floyd was a wrongful killing
From what we know Babbitt was wrongful killed. Maybe if Pelosi and the other dems wouldn't have hushed things up then we'd know for certain , but, since they are hiding what truly happened then we have to go with what is known ...and that would be that she'd been wrongfully killed.

You are trying to twist my words into somethi8ng you know they are not. You must think you're Hannity and Carlson all rolled into one. I never advocated a "one bullet fits all" approach, and you know it, because I carefully explained it to you. If you don't know the difference between the Floyd murder and the Babbitt killing where deadly force was warranted (I'm certain you would have held your fire if she had been breaking into your home), every police force in the country joins me in appreciating your decision not to become a cop.
