The subject line is accurate. You are entitled to your wrong opinion.

Agreed. She was no better than those BLM thugs that burned and looted Minneapolis.

And that might be the most asinine thing you've ever posted here. Seems we're on streak of stupidity around here.
The officer was supposed to just let her in I guess.

So you're against BLM rioters, but for the white rioters who attacked cops and looted a government building. Ok. Got it.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I give that cop every benefit of the doubt in this situation. If he was telling them to stop and they were moving towards him, I think he's 100% justified in using force. He has no idea the intentions of those individuals.

How many BLM rioters were shot dead? They also breached a federal building in Portland.

Wonder if you would sing the same tune if this were your unarmed daughter.
I would have told my unarmed daughter to obey police commands.
One of the reason I hate double standards so much is that it lends itself to this level of discourse.

I agree wholeheartedly, double standards are are real problem when it comes to occupying the Capitol building.

This is the same guy who left his loaded Glock 22 in the men's room.
This guy is no hero, but now he's the victim apparently.

No, but he should have attempted to prevent her entry in other ways before resorting to the use of deadly force.

I don't think he's a hero at all. I just am sympathetic to the position he was put in. If you see multiple people coming at you, and you tell them to stop, and they keep coming, you might be inclined to draw your weapon. If this were a mall cop during the BLM riots you would completely understand. I think your frustration is that you watched the left get away with this for 8 months, but you see the right get hammered and no one cares. I get that sentiment, but I care about principles.

When only one side is held to the principles then they don't really exist, they're just another mechanism for accumulating power.
Absolutely. I am totally ok with holding the left to a standard, but I don't want to lose our identity by embracing their practices. There is a danger there.

Just remember, your speech is violence while their violence is speech.

The left has all the angles covered.
