I’m all for cops using non lethal methods for crowd control

She was behind a barricade, no weapon, no verbal commands.

Knowing she went on 4 tours, 14yr veteran makes it so much worse

@yetiCodes conservatives have always fought increasing hiring standards for cops and law enforcement

Dang Clinton was a busy guy.

Two terms

Trump was on pace to be more busy

Crowd Control is at the Exterior. Once you Break Inside it is a different story?

like i said this whole debacle is on SCOTUS, a fair hearing and ppl wouldnt be so upset

Well other methods

Agreed, he could have fired a warning shot or something to show he was serious - I'm sure she would have backed down

Ah, fair.

We’ve had more executive order happy leaders lol

If you break into the capitol, you are dancing with death.

No, that’s not the play. That’s a quick way to get the rioters to start firing.

Before the agent shot they were yelling for them to back up and the people were just starting to when he shot. There’s no justification.

its against protocol to fire a warning shot, also against protocol to not lock the building down, the fire system alone would have cleared it

True but still tragic

Yeah, as much as I support making a showing you definitely accept the risks upon engaging.

I didn't realise the rioters had guns - thought they were unarmed

A Warning Shot has to end up somewhere?

By and large they were unarmed.

I thought aim for the leg was the latest strategy 😳🙈

They were armed where the shooting happened

No,

no never, deadly force is exactly that

I was being sarcastic

It’s only two minutes. Worth a watch.

If you aim for the Leg. Your Shot is Unjustified IMHO?

if theres a threat you shoot to kill and end the threat, thats their protocols

Remember kids, the Founding Fathers lead an insurrection against the British government to establish their independence from Britain. Are we going to condemn them? Me thinks not

I was being sarcastic. Wasn’t that the talking point after cops shot that Blake guy?

I know....lol

lucky they didnt burn the building down like the British did

An insurrection against the government for the people is different than one for freedom

Not really

im all for peaceful protest and everything possible to stop the destruction of America, but they should have never been allowed into the building, and they shouldnt have gone in unless it was to actually deliver justice to the treasonous traitors

What were the British even doing 30 years later

No, you follow the use of force continuum,


Perp is unarmed -> use non lethal,
Perp is armed with gun/melee weapons -> use lethal

Police always try to have weaponry one step above the threat.

And when they shoot they aim for center mass

That’s why they were looking for Pence
