  • I think it’s important to point out that this is not justifiable because he was a jan 6 rioter, but because he was reaching for a gun.

    It’s a small distinction, but an important one, as justifications can easily stretch to encompass things they shouldn’t. If it’s ok for an officer to kill someone at a traffic stop solely because they were at the riot, then it won’t be long before it’s justification for killing someone at a protest, or just for speaking out.

    So good riddance to bad rubbish in this case, but be wary of dismissing a police officer killing someone just because we don’t like them.
