That was never going to happen. This starting point alone is too aggressive.

Why is it too aggressive? Is the fear the law will be followed too well?

So again, you're unable/unwilling to give specifics on what you'd do differently. You just know what the feds are doing now is very, very bad.

I was raised by a police officer. I know that benefit of the doubt left when he fought back. Those guys want to go home to their kids. You don't get to throw a flag for instant replay. You make split second decisions. You asses threat faster than any armchair loser on reddit. The guy should not have been armed and instigating an officer. Even when pepper sprayed he could have gone prone and given up. Hands away from the holster. Once again, Darwin award.

It still looks like many are overlooking the video Bobby posted where it appears a firearm is dropped by the deceased.

That doesn't really help justify the shooting. Same as the guy being disarmed. If the gun isn't in his hands, where is the imminent threat of deadly force?

The first two shots sound identical to me in characteristics. But I’m no expert.

I think he was asking how were the LEOs to have known that he was completely disarmed?

And that's not really relevant or the standard to discuss.

Another firearm? Explosives on his body or in proximity?

If they didn't know these existed, per your hypo, how could they perceive them to be an imminent threat of death?

I don’t defend stupid people, shouldn’t have brought one there either. There is no legitimate reason to have a gun at a protest unless you plan on using it. This isn’t Tombstone tough guy

They knew that he was armed. They did not know whether he was still armed. They aren’t going to trust their lives to guessing at how many weapons a person (who they knew to have at least one weapon), has.

And you still haven’t addressed my question about what the “moderate” means to recover illegals in Minnesota is.

It's not possible and sets up unrealistic expectations in the rabid partisans.

Like, it's not physically possible for our immigration courts to process tens of millions in 4 years.

Actually following the law in the immigration-deportation process would never permit those numbers. That's the point.

That is only tangentially related to the question.

They did not know whether he was still armed.

And?

So police can kill any of us if they suspect we may have weapons on us that they don't know about?

Bold.

He wasn’t just carrying. Don’t be retarded. He was 1) carrying 2) actively interfering with police 3) got into a physical altercation with police You can say “just carrying,” and then everyone knows you’re not a serious person.


Thanks. Now you get it. We saw the same thing on Jan 6th 2021. Should those protestors, that were legally carrying And in an altercation with the police, have been shot?

It's not even 2nd amendment. No one goes to a potentially violent situation with a weapon and is a bystander. Go hop around eastern Ukraine with a weapon. I won't shed a tear when you get blasted.

Which is why the leftist policy of allowing them unfettered entrance was always going to win.

Allow millions in. Complain on every single and fight every single deportation.
