Okay. So...?

2-3 minutes before she tried to climb through the window.
Whoa. 2-3 minutes? She was clearly an imminent threat being within 2-3 minutes of some unnamed and unspecified person.

Why not? Any other police shooting we know the cops name.

I don’t think the LEO who shot her should be doxxed. And I don’t see that as different.
Isn't every other LEO who shoots and kills (or kneels and kills) criminals though?

And that’s bad policy. I do think the double standard is obvious.

Really? I am sorry I didn't know a small arse woman was a danger to someone who was in the room previously..forgive me
By herself she probably wasn't much of a threat, but her combined with the dozens of people that were following her was definitely a threat.

If you were honest with yourself, you would be able to see your double standard in the above quote. I think you’re too far gone, however.

Here’s a tip. Don’t storm the Capitol with a mob and advance on armed police pointing guns at you and telling you to stop.
It would be pretty incredulous to believe that secret service or capital police would not be able to subdue a subject as small as she was without shooting her. they were able to capture and hold John hinkley and he was firing a weapon at the president and others in the area.
I will also point out there was at least 5 armor clad officers carrying weapons right behind her that did nothing until after she was shot.
Do you believe if there were legitimate fear of her they wouldn’t have ordered those armed cops to pull her back out of the window or take her down?
ETA: I will admit that most likely this group of citizens were under the impression that the same rules of engagement would be in force as were the normal throughout the summer and fall for the other protesters.
it was a shame that they were mistaken as there needed to be some sort of red flag event to keep the public from at least debating the merits of the republicans arguments.

No. They didn’t. One cop did. The other cops were milling around, not really sure of what they were doing.
And they choose this location (choke point) with full knowledge that they were not letting anyone simply storm past here. It was this group's line in the sand and natural selection simply took over.

The Left’s demonization of this woman is amazing. She is a complete analogue for a Black Lives Matter protester (just on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum). And they hate her and find easy justifications for her death. Some went as far as cheering her demise.

Oh, thanks. I didn’t know multiple cops shot her. I’m learning a lot.

“Natural selection” isn’t a justification for a police shoot. Be better.

What member of Congress was she trying to attack? I assume they were within feet of her but I haven’t heard their name. Thanks for clearing this up.

Oh, thanks
(Since you want to play pretend)
These guys were acting in unison, they had retreated, dropped back, and reformed a wall of resistance. And there was no need wasting another shot because they were all in need of another clip or two. And yes you're correct that cop needs his name known. And given a Presidential medal for his action to protect the nation and it's Congressmen. And yes, I'm sure it'll come out when some Kracken defense team want's to file a frivolous lawsuit.

New standard for police shootings: Important people are close by. Fire at will.

You’re making things up now.

Important people close by and the first person that breaks through a defensive choke point with dozens more following... Yeah, I'm ok with a standard that allows you to take out the first person.
