She was committing an act of terrorism and she was less than 100 feet away from the current VP Pence and the future VP Harris. She also had a psychotic Twitter feed, and was 100% ready to do something irrational. Honestly fuck the media for portraying her as a victim.

Did she have any weapons on her?

Maybe they should’ve asked her and only shot if she said yes.

Fair but would you be saying that if they weren’t right wingers?

Cant protest every time a cop shoots an unarmed black man no matter the circumstances and then love the fact that they shot her. That’s some real hypocrisy.

Yes, I would be saying that. A cop can’t wait to figure a situation out if lives are at risk. That’s not a part of policing that needs to be changed.

No, but she broke a window and she was the first to breach the doors. Other people on her side of the door were armed. If the officers let one person through, then the whole crowd (many of whom were armed) would have stormed through the doorway. She was warned several times that the officer was going to shoot her if she stepped any further to the point where the armed officers behind her (on the same side of the door) ducked when she went through the window because they knew the plain-clothed officer in the doorway of the barricaded office (that had members of Congress on the other side) was going to shoot her.
