In a free society like ours, it's not up to you to justify what the cop did because you didn't like the perpetrators. There should be a report that explains the conditions, his orders, his training, who told him to fire, why he didn't take non-lethal action, etc. Why did other cops hold their fire yet he felt compelled to use deadly force? How was the woman threatening him? Who was he? You don't get to kill civilians and not have your name released after two months. Certainly, there should be a report by now providing these details. Or do you think cops should be allowed to kill people with impunity? Minimizing the death of this woman as if her life doesn't count and calling me names does you no service.
Your comparison of the police actions in George Floyd's death and the death that occurred at the Capitol, as a violent mob tried to break through a security barricade outside of the House of Representatives, is so egregious that it's an insult to my intelligence and anyone else that reads such slop. I'll not waste a single second more discussing this as it is so patently absurd.
"
That's the argument the cops are using in the death of George Floyd.
They were just doing their job." "Police are not supposed to fire into
a crowd. There was
no one shooting at the cop. He
wasn't returning fire." "They were both just doing their jobs and the perpetrator died. It happens. Sorry about that."
Your bland description of "a crowd" is not what you had trying to smash their way into the House Chamber — it was a violent mob intent on getting to Members of Congress. The wall of windows and doors the mob was trying to smash thru is
directly outside the doors to the House Chamber and is the last physical security barrier protecting it. The woman shot was the first to breach security to the restricted area outside of the doors of the House by climbing thru a smashed out window frame. Any protective service is going to do whatever is required to prevent a violent mob from getting inside the doors to where the people they protect are either sheltering and taking cover or trying to escape — whether it is the Capitol Police or the Secret Service.
You can see a video of what it looks like when a mob isn't trying to smash thru the barrier to the doors of the House Chamber below, above the barrier are the words "Speakers Lobby".

Just like it was when you previously referred to the violent mob storming the Capitol as "over the line"; "trespassing the Capitol"; "trespass and interrupting Congress"; "a bunch of stupid demonstrators armed only with anger"; "But they were basically demonstrating and got unruly."
There is only so much horse sh*t you can expect someone to tolerate. Peddle this garbage to someone else.
