“Murder would be the charge if the shooting were reversed...”
That’s nonsense. The entire context of the incident, being a stop by law enforcement, makes it nonsensical to speak of “reversing” the situation, because citizens don’t have any authority to stop people and detain them. That’s a province exclusive to law enforcement, and consequently, there are unique rules for that situation that all of us are aware of. We can’t pretend those rules, and the consequences of this man ignoring them, do not exist just so that you can vent your anger about the government.
Okay, I think I get it. We’re the government. Obey or die. It is wholly realistic to speak of reversing the situation in terms of a shooting. You introduce the subject of a checkpoint to deflect and obfuscate, and in doing so make it clear you’re a fan of government shootings in general. Haven’t there been enough incidents of questionable government shootings of civilians in just the last two or three years alone to make you want to examine the details just a little bit closer, or are you, as I suspect, a government shooter yourself? Here we have an administration hoping for general disarmament and simultaneously sending in the shooters to control the civilians, and cheerleaders on the side bleating their support. Be careful what you wish for.
