So Byrd using deadly force defending the lives of members of Congress is WORSE than Chauvin cutting off Floyd's air supply for more than 8 minutes because it was intentional? Well what Chauvin did WAS intentional. This defies logic.
I'm not projecting at all. You are a part of a group that wants Byrd punished for having shot Ashli because you erroneously believe that the shooting was unwarranted and part of the reason you all persist in this misconception is because you don't understand or don't care what the difference is surrounding what patrol officers do and what professional protection officers do.
The fact that the officers on the other side of the door from Byrd gave up on trying to prevent the mob from advancing further after having just been threatened by them was exactly the right thing to do as far as I'm concerned.
People too stupid to stop what they're doing when someone of authority is pointing a weapon at them and telling the to proceed no further deserve what they get. On the other hand you call cheer and support the police when they shoot people in the back who are trying to get away from them on the premise that they should have obeyed the officer. Do you see the hypocrisy in that stance?
No, Chauvin may simply have been stupid enough to not realize he was killing Floyd.
It is not at all similar to Bryd deliberately aiming at Ashli's neck and pulling the trigger.
That was no accident.
Police have ZERO authority to shoot unless there is visible evidence of a weapon about to harm someone.
