Live Feed, Patriots at the Capitol

[Hatin Since 87]

If it happened at my house... we do have castle doctrines for a reason.

I'm pretty confident in saying that many an INGOer would shoot someone smashing their way into their home.

My home isn’t called the people’s house, filled with elected officials to represent the people. Slightly different.

There's already a Breonna Taylor thread.

I bet the outcome for this incident will be much different. I wonder if this shooter will get cancelled, harassed, doxxed, and ultimately charged? You know if this was BLM or Antifa that guys life would be over and DC would be burning by now.

Exactly. Different standards.

Looked like this was a black cop, shooting a white protester. It will be interesting to see if and how the aftermath of this incident differs from other police shootings that make national headlines.

Now both sides have martyrs. That'll help.

You mean different than the police investigating themselves, finding no issue with the shooting, and clearing them of all charges?

It WOULD be interesting if this ended up any different.

Facial recognition software is surely being used right now by the feds to get the round up list. I cannot for the life of me understand why during this time of COVID you wouldn’t take the opportunity to cover your face if you go to a RIOT.

Fixed it for you.

Normally there's a very good reason for that outcome, which wouldn't apply in this case.

To those accusing others here of sedation and worse, here are the words of Lincoln, even lefty snopes agrees he said them. We truly have the greatest system of government ever built, we have gone far longer than the founders thought we could without refreshing the tree of liberty...

Were the actions of the Capitol Police officer any more or less justified than those of Kyle Rittenhouse?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Exactly. Different standards.

You're exactly right... if you weren't using an "apples to oranges" comparison. If we were to uses an "apples to apples" comparison, noting the location and the agencies involved, then one can help but wonder how/why the comparatively peaceful protest in a DC park, in June, met with significantly less of LE response: compared to a mob of people attempting, and successfully breaching the halls of Congress the other day. Once can't help but wonder, if the first group engaged in doing what the second group was doing, the body could would be higher.

 

[wtburnette]

"Comparatively peaceful"...

Yes. Kyle Rittenhouse was in fear for his life, legitimately. No cops or other help around. Whoever shot and killed this lady had other armed personnel with him and could see other armed officers behind the lady. Those make very different situations.

 

[Kutnupe14]

"Comparatively peaceful"...

I was going to simply say "peaceful," as I was not aware of any aggression on the part of the protesters back in June... but I'm smart enough to know that there are others with superior Google-Fu; so I'll simply say I personally was not aware of ANY violence on the part of the June protesters that approached anything near what we saw the other day. Feel free to contradict.

Were there more officers than protesters? It didn't look that way. And obviously there seems to be a heck of a lot more protesters, on deck.

While there were other officers around there were a lot more people on the other side of the door to overwhelm all of them.

It appeared to be some sort of "last line of defense." If they let her (or anyone through) without using extreme force then others could and would follow. There comes a point where you back up and say, "NO MORE." Having a lawful duty to protect the people and property behind you it eventually becomes reasonable to use all force necessary to put down the mob.

BLM hosted several city wide cookouts last summer. Mostly peaceful of course.

 

[breakingcontact]

The proper application of the doctrine of the lesser magistrates would have avoided all of this and still given the people a way to address their grievances.

Shooting an unarmed female in the neck definitely sent a message!

So, I'm reading a few posts that claim that Antifa infiltrated the group who stormed Congress. If that's the case, why are we upset over an obvious Antifa agent provocateur breaching security and getting capped in the process?
