This is so pathetic. Those "protesters" who have so far been identified are all Trump supporters. Not one of them is BLM or ANTIFA. Face it, supporters of Trump are responsible for the death of one of their own and a police man and idiots like Cruz and Gaetz have blood on their hands. Stop looking for others to blame for the actions of Trump and his supporters, because the people who are not as delusional as you don't believe it anyway.
I wonder if the question on "non lethal" means will ever come up. If it is even relevant. What a bunch of It looks like we even have a pretty good picture of the non-self defense shooter that shot Ashley! I wonder if he faces charges?

A mob stormed the building, some of them carrying weapons. They were breaking down doors and windows and killing a police officer. When they breached the door to the room (where they had no business being in) the officers who were protecting the room, being in the minority and fearful of being overrun, acted and one of them fired a shot. If that's not self-defense than nobody who kills a violent guy trying to force his way into his home can ever claim self-defense either.
I agree this violence should never have happened. The 42 year old officer died after being hit with a fire extinguisher as Joe pointed out. He collapsed later at his precinct and likely had a blood clot from his injury - very sad. Yes, that is tragic but no officer was killed at the scene. This march was announced long before it occurred. Where were the police and why did they allow an infiltration into the building? Where was the teargas and resistance? Did the police really open up the gates or was that photo op made by Trump supporters?
The only one killed violently at the scene was Ashley and you can clearly see this in the video, there were 4 heavily armed police with ARs nearby or on there way there. How did the mob get past them? The other 3 of the 5 deaths were heart attacks and that happens in any crowd of 100,000 plus. Surely these heavily armed police should have been deployed at doorways to buildings earlier and ground stood - not inside! The man on the other side of door, did not attempt to arrest and give warning but chose to shoot her in cold blood to make an example. Of course, it is always justified when you can say it was done to stop the onslaught of the mob. Biden should give him the medal of honor and elevate him to hero status for doing that!
This all looks like a Hollywood setup and a false flag type operation. (Pearl Harbor, LHO/JR, 911 as a few previous examples). In this case, let the situation escalate, shoot someone and then blame Trump for the violence that happened. Normally, protestors would have been met with tear gas and resistance outside buildings and perimeter fence held and told to back off and disperse. None of this happened and the infiltration appeared to encouraged and an end achieved. Everyone was forewarned that this was going to be a big march and nothing was done to organize against possible violence. As stated above, this is not the first time in history that a politicized event has been used for covert purposes and means. Again, I suspect government controls will increase once more and addendums added to the Patriot's Act and or Homeland Security to give government more control and politicians more protection. 1st amendment goes, then the second. The Republic has become a one party rule of government and MSM will censor the resistance too and the propaganda continued to spew.
There is no need for elections anymore. It has been a failure of a 2 party system which was not foreseen by the forefathers. Sad day when climate scaremongering, COVID crisis, contact tracing and so called terrorism dictates the need for more government control of the peasant class of the world and a further decisive division of the 2 classes of people.
Hepa Filters in airplanes allow passengers to sit side by side (no 6 ft separation) without risk of spreading viruses while outdoor dining can be banned in a warm climate like CA. (Everyone uses the cone distributor above their head!) Very safe because ventilation is second to none when pressurizing cabins! Do as I say but don't do as I do. What hypocrisy if you really were scared of a virus - you would have shutdown passenger air travel first and foremost. Airplanes are the best place to spread it. As I said, it is a sad day when science is being used to push
and the peasants buy into it. How did West Nile mosquitoes land in New York and invade the country?
The Big Tech companies make more money than ever during the pandemic and the peasants struggling to make living get pushed further into debt and taxed to death. I am afraid there is no end and the plutocrats win. Millions supporting Republicans versus 3 dozen plutocrats supporting Democrats. Money talks - middle class disappears! Debt has no end and no fiscal responsibility in governments called for by media. All in bed together to bring the system down and to be replaced by a NEW government of the world.
