Wouldn't surprise me if he thinks he's some great defender of liberty, single-handedly holding off The Great Insurrection. Sort of like a Marvel superhero.
This sets a dangerous precedent. BLM is marching somewhere, and some are wearing backpacks. So a rumor goes around the police that some of the BLM may be carrying “pipe bombs.” And when an unarmed BLM protestor wearing a backback enters an area that the cops don’t want them in, then shooting the unarmed BLM protestor, dead.... is ... Okay .... because of what happened with a cop and the backpack-wearing Ashley Babbitt...???
