Then just march towards Trump and when his security detail demands you stop hold up that picture as your shield.This is a variant of the Homunculus Argument. You are attempting to define the rules of engagement using abstract examples and specifics that don't actually exist.
This is the federal Use of Force model that is in use when Byrd shot Babbitt. He was required to follow it as all federal law enforcement officers were.
Babbitt was somewhere between green and yellow (resistant) on that scale. Byrd's correct action was to move into the hallway, be visible to Babbitt and issue clear commands to her. He did none of that. Babbitt wasn't assaulting or about to assault anyone and there was no one present that she represented an immediate threat to. There were other police officers visible to him next to Babbitt or very close to her.
Byrd failed to follow his training--not the first time either--and shot her illegally. Because of the optics of Jan 6, the Capitol Police in collusion with their Democrat bosses conspired to sweep the matter under the rug. I get that.
None of that exonerates Babbitt. What she was doing was wrong. But she shouldn't have died for it. Byrd was, and is, a fuck up as a police officer.
Do not listen to them and do not stop.

(such an idiot he does not realize security details protecting top officials DO NOT allow anyone to ignore orders to not approach)

Holy fuck are you dumb. When Trump was shot, did his detail stick around to help with aid or did they move to protect their charge?

For the same reason Trump and his detail AND EVERY SUCH DETAIL EVER, moves to protect their charges and not the aggressor.
I searched and saw nothing about him fleeing the scene?

How the Police Killed Breonna Taylor
None of the police officers who raided Breonna Taylor’s home used body cameras, impeding the public from a full understanding of what happened. The Times’s visual investigation team built a 3-D model of the scene and pieced together critical sequences of events to show how poor planning and shoddy police work led to a fatal outcome.

QED on Terry's disconnection from reality. Sad. Not a good way to go.
What else explains his worship of a false god?

The reports were that with the mob having multiple breech points and coming at them from many directions the security detail chose that location as the best place to hold and defend as it created more of control choke point that did not allow mass access all at once.

Byrd had the duty to protect those senators and others who were under his watch. Just maybe he took the insurrectionists seriously when they were shouting "where's Nancy?" and "hang Mike Pence." I suppose that would have been okay by you, though.

For a stupid person, yes.
A stupid person does not understand that a security detail protecting top government officials will ALWAYS retreat and stay with his charges during an active assault, when they have no control of the scene.
You, being stupid, think this security official would switch to aid mode and that aint happening. He has charges to protect and a mob at the door.

yes and his job was to protect his charges and not tend to the mob.

The cops were all screw-ups who didn't have their body cameras running, which was against department policy. This is all on the cops.
"And that there’s a right way and a wrong way to conduct a raid. You knock, announce and give people ample time to leave. “We’re not going to rush in to get dope. We’re not going to treat — human life’s more important than any amount of dope, right?” And, just to be clear, no drugs were ever found at Taylor’s.
His harshest criticism was of Hankison’s blind shots into the apartment. “You have to know A, what you’re shooting at, B, what’s in front of it, and B, what’s behind it. There’s no other way you can operate. It was just an egregious act.” Under Kentucky law, Kenneth Walker had a right to stand his ground against what he believed was an aggressor. And the police, in turn, have a right to self-defense. But in this analysis, the killing of Breonna Taylor resulted from poor planning compounded by reckless execution. Louisville has instituted police reforms, and Taylor’s family received a substantial settlement, but the case isn’t closed. Investigations and lawsuits are ongoing. And nine months after Taylor was killed, her family is seeking a fresh inquiry into the officers involved."

Members of the security details were all calling their families and telling them they expected to die, defending their charges, including Pence's detail.
But Terry thinks those guards should be giving aid to the rioters while the riot is still happening and not retreating with their charges.
That is because Terry is stupid.
