Trump allies try to recast Capitol rioters as patriots ahead of Sept. 18 ‘justice’ rally (msn.com)

The federal building in Portland too? How many do you think should have been shot there? How about

Yes because the federal building in Portland has the same symbolism as the Capitol building.

That's why the January 6 rioter/protester/insurrectionist crowd drove over to Portland to influence the election results.

It was horrible to see the Capitol police shoot an unarmed citizen.

Someone breaking through a barricaded door is presumed to have ill intent. She was a victim of Trump.

 

[cow451]

She was veteran who had served honorable. She was unarmed and no threat to the police officer. She was shot without even given a warning.

A barricaded door with adequate verbal warning.

 

[cow451]

So was Timothy McVeigh.

And, by Trump's definition, a "loser". In reality, she was a casualty of the Trump campaign known as "the Big Lie".

 

[cow451]

She was unarmed, what, 110 pounds or so, no threat to the officer. He should have ordered her back, if she refused and he felt his life was in danger he can then use appropriate force, taser, etc. to subdue her should he be attacked.

A barricaded door is not an invitation for a tour of the facility.

You can't shoot an intruder unless you consider your life in danger.

The lives of the staff behind the barricaded door reasonably believed they were at risk. That's why they barricaded the door.

I thought Donald only considered soldiers to be "losers" if they were captured?

Oh, right, I remember now -- that Veteran's Day event he snubbed... he doesn't think highly of the dead ones either, does he?

What better a description of those tearing down and defacing National Monuments - burning our cities - and laying months of violent siege to federal court houses, while Democratic Leadership calls the $Billions of property damage and people injured or killed "Peaceful Protest" or "Summer of Love".

Those same Democratic members who called the Police in the City of Washington brave heroes for protecting Federal Property from violence - called Marshalls and Police in the State of Washington "Storm Troopers" for protecting Federal Property from months of fire bombs, and violence.

Your irrelevant deflection is noted.

Like if they're black and might possibly have a gun... then it's just fine for the police to shoot them, right?

That's not the attitude to take. The discrimination has to stop, you need to address Democrat leaders and tell them to stop the racism. They need to listen to the black population, not ban so many from restaurants as they do in New York. Give them the police protection they want instead of championing Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter that want to defund the police. For example, in Minneapolis there was a recent poll and here is an excerpt from the Star Tribune, by far the largest newspaper in Minneapolis:

"In the poll, 75% of Black voters opposed reducing the police force, compared with 51% of white voters. Half of white voters said they supported replacing the department compared with 42% of Black voters."

Minnesota Poll: Most Minneapolis voters want reform, not fewer cops

Focusing on only the blacks killed by white police is a great disservice to the people.

Trump was correct, John McCain was no hero for being captured, and the fake news used to deflect away from McCain's improper actions was despicable.

Be that as it may, even in death, McCain was a bigger and better man than Donald will ever be.

More money, guns, and military equipment for the police with no increase in accountability, can't see how that could possibly go wrong...
