    Can you show that the officer protecting life and property in a restricted area of the seat of government knew for certain that the protester smashing her way through a locked door or any of those behind her were unarmed? Do you know what was in her rucksack or concealed elsewhere on her person?

    No I cannot, hence why I am waiting for the investigation to run its course. Isn't that the wisest thing to do?

    And my question to @DaveBN remains - So unarmed killings are only justified if it's a terrorist?

    Okay, so would you be holding the EXACT same position if Trump won the election,
    and it was BLM rioters storming the Capitol Building on Wednesday and a black woman was shot and killed in the EXACT same circumstance?

    Assuming everything was the exact same and the roles were just reversed? Yep.

    Alright. I was just checking to see if you were a radical leftist. You're not.

    I would be even more disappointed and more critical of BLM doing the same thing as the MAGA rioters. They would have been bolstering Trump's
    position ... even as the MAGA rioters eroded Trump's position.

    I think if you can't show that the officer didn't know then the shooting is justified.

    Duhhhhhhh, she wasn't unarmed. She was armed and supported by thousands of people attempting to overthrow the government.

    I’m a leftist. I just also know the difference between right and wrong and try to be consistent.
    The two aren’t as divorced from each other as you might think.

    A white woman was shot because of systemic racism and sexism.

    This Air Force veteran was a victim of systemic racism. And sexism, obviously.

    I am applying the standards as established by the mainstream media, the punditry, and certain elected officials.

    Fallacy, argumentum ad hominem. I am not the topic of this thread.

    More whites are killed by police than blacks.

    She was carrying and being carried by the anger of the crowd she participated with. She and everyone in that crowd was complicit in the murder of the cop, the threat to the lives of both Congress members, Senators and the damage to the Capitol building. I don't understand why the participants that have been arrested so far aren't also being charged for murder. They were all in the act of committing a crime together. Maybe that will come later. We'll see.

    Media seems pretty good at calling terrorists “terrorists” as far as I have seen. Get back to me when you have an actual argument.

    My guess would be they’re pinning the easiest things to prove on them first. Get them off the streets quick. Then build their case for the big charges.

    I asked you what kind of weapon she was carrying. You claimed she was armed. I see your claim was false.

    Please cite one instance of the mainstream media referring to ANTIFA as terrorists. I'll wait...

    Please cite an event perpetrated by ANTIFA that would meet the standard of being classified as terrorism. Date and location. Thank you.

    If you and I rob a store and I have a gun and kill someone you're in for murder just as if you killed the victim. You might not agree with me but that's o.k.
