If they're proven to be unarmed, no. Are you okay with shooting unarmed people under the Castle Doctrine?

An unarmed person can be a sufficient threat in some cases to warrant shooting them. That isn't the case with the Babbitt shooting.

YOu really think someone assigned to protect congress hasn't been trained to watch his sight lines for crossfire?
Get real, kid.
So you are suggesting that removes the legal blame from the thousands that trashed the Capitol and beat the cops into the hospital. What is your point, assuming you are correct?

I hear someone in the crowd shouting "he's got a gun, he's got a gun" but Babbitt keeps trying to get in. That was stupid.Watch the videos. There's plenty of them of Byrd shooting her.

There were at least a half-dozen uniformed police officers mixed in with the protesters at that point. If Babbitt's actions were such that lethal force was required, why did none of those officers act? Clearly the protesters weren't trying to disarm the police mixed in with them.
Byrd fucked up and the Capitol Police and Democrats had every reason to cover that up.
The mob was a sufficient threat.

All 1/6 supporters are traitors and should be shot as terrorists, like Ashli Babbitt.
The Resistance knows who you are, son.
Not really. So the cop in FT. Worth that shot a Black Homeowner Atatiana Jefferson that pointed a gun at him through the window should not be in prison for manslaughter?

they were a tactical team racing to provide back up and were not in the line of sight of the door yet. You can watch the video of their approach. i have.
You cannot arrest a mob who is surging all around as every Capital Cop pointed out. ONce the mob surges into an area where they surround the cops, as Ashley was about to do, all the cops weapons become the mobs weapons, which is why the Capital police refused to use or pull their guns once surrounded saying the mob would take them and use that as an excuse to kill them.

Red herring and non sequitur. We are discussing Ashley Babbitt's shooting and Officer Byrd's actions here. That's it.

It was not only the case but one of the most righteous and rightful shoots we have seen.
Thus why Trump and Bondi will DO NOTHING about it despite really wanting to. It would be the biggest embarrassment yet for them in courts if they tried as the Grand Jury might give him a medal instead.

The terrorists had over two hours of warnings. They all should have been shot. Same goes for their supporters.

I'm not aware of this incident. How about the cops who shot Breonna Taylor by forcing their way into her apartment?

Swears he never derails a thread. Seriously.
The mob was breaking through a door that was between the mob and the politicians. The cop was doing his job by protecting the politicians, even the Trumpies and righties. That's it. He did his job. His actions were reviewed. He was cleared.
