I guess you've heard by now that a Capital Police officer was killed by a blow to the head with fire extinguisher.

I look at it like this:

I put myself in Babbit's shoes. There's no way I would have broken into the Capital building under these circumstances, much less tried to break through a barricade with guns drawn on me.

I put myself in the officer's shoes. There is an angry mob trying to breach a barricade having already violently assaulted other officers. It was his job to keep the occupants safe. He had every right to assume they were going to be assaulted with deadly force if the mob broke through.

The nationwide riots are other incidents. I support mass arrests of violent and even "peaceful" protestors who disrupted traffic and business (more than cases of mild inconvenience). I even support Kyle Rittenhouse's self-defense. Imagine yourself in those situations. Would you even be there? If not, maybe you shouldn't be making excuses for them; Ashli Babbit or George Floyd. Actions have consequences.
