SaintsInDome2006 885 Posted Friday at 03:18 PM 13 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: “[An] officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably believes that action is in the defense of human life, including the officer’s own life, or in the defense of any person in immediate danger of serious physical injury,” USCP policy says. “The actions of the officer in this case potentially saved Members and staff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of rioters who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol and to the House Chamber where Members and staff were steps away,” USCP determined, concluding that Byrd’s actions were justified. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Byrd should be serving 10 plus years in prison for murder. Can't wait for adults to be in charge again and justice is done and the corrupt and abusive bastards are thrown out of jobs.

I maintain the same standard for all police shootings. Number 1 rule is anyone in immediate danger of being severely harmed or killed. For Ashly Babbitt the answer is no. For Good the answer is absolutly yes. Next questions from the idiots on the left who actually have absurd double-standards and are incapable of viewing any incident without the filter of their insane politics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're comparing an officer protecting American lawmakers from an angry mob that has breached several layers of the capitol and just smashed through the last line of defense vs a Minnesota mom sitting in her car in her neighborhood. seek help.

There was no angry mob. There were only a handful of people standing behind Ashley Babbitt and several of them secret service agents. Absolutely no one was in any danger in that instance. There is no rule which allows for the use of deadly force at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A mob of hundreds beating on people, trampling them, ignoring orders to leave couldn’t be perceived as real danger to you. This is such a bizarre take.

TBayXXXVII 2,686 Posted 2 hours ago Personally, I have no problems with either shooting... Babbit or Good. FAFO NEITHER, should've been doing what they were doing. BOTH were actively trying to be a-holes. BOTH presented a danger. Stop getting in the way of law enforcement from doing their legal job. Did either "deserve" to die? No, but their deaths were the consequence of their wreckless actions and while it sucks, so be it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say the scenario in Jan 6th was much more dangerous, completely out of control, hundreds of times more dangerous, etc. It’s amazing more people weren’t shot, Calling this cop on Jan 6th a murderer, while saying the Minn shooting was clean is the dumbest of dumb.

This is such a bizarre take. Gross distortion of the truth. It took years to get passed the five minutes of video the media played non-stop to get the fuller picture of what went down. Only a handful of people broke in. The vast majority were let in and were peacefully walking through the building. Very few suffered serious injuries. It was all media manipulated bull crap. The same media which told all the brain dead morons that BLM were peaceful protests but yet somehow there were billions and billions of damage done across the country. Thousands of times more damage than done on J6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
