I can guarantee if I took my 12 gauge and pointed it at a bunch of progressive MNSBC journalists, and then yelled "I'm gonna fuckin' kill you" I would be called a "Right Wing Terrorist."
Right? Wouldn't that make me a terrorist? Using aggressive force to achieve a political goal?
Why is it any different for the Police?
@DrDoomNGloom
Seems like you need a little context here, you act as if either act occurs in a vacuum.....
Police have the "job" of "serving and protecting" the citizens by enforcing laws, sometimes requiring the use of deadly force.....
The journalist and others were told to back off in a tense situation, defying that order even in the pursuit of journalism is not only stupid but could be deadly ..........
Now you next stupid statement would be "you would shoot a journalist??".
Yes give that context and knowing that if we define all journalist as non combatants and deem them innocuous there will be some ass hole somewhere who dons a journalist costume and proceeds to do massive damage to LEO's......
So you understand journalist are not bullet proof and should follow law enforcements directions, at least it was well documented and the officer was well within HIS RIGHTS to self protection ........ clearly evident to all commanders and IAD, that cop will not be persecuted one moment for his actions as well he should not be.
Now you think you are so intelligent give me one scenario that would allow you as a citizen to posses a shot gun in public and point it at anyone.........
A citizen who owns property in some states have the right to aim a loaded weapon at you in the protection of their property but that right ends at their property lines.
So now I will patiently wait for your response .....
