Secured space? Define that. The capitol has no spaces where deadly force is authorized merely for breaking in with zero evidence of being armed. Arrest, yes. Deadly force with no warning? Nope.
The black Brazilian dude simple acted the way he would have been allowed to...IN BRAZIL.
Nothing in US law or case law makes this legal.
Any argument made in a US court today that tries to refer to US law is certain to fail and a ridiculous waste of time. Thr Rule of Law is over in the clown show “judicial” system we have now. Babbitt’s family would have a better crack at justice if they hired a mafia hit man to deliver payback to the murderer of Ashli. The criminal US government knows all this, which is why they won’t release the name of the black killer.
One definition would be a space with locked doors being guarded by uniformed LEOs and with another LEO inside the door pointing a gun at the entry.
I'd consider that secured.
The capitol has no spaces where deadly force is authorized merely for breaking in with zero evidence of being armed.
This particular crowd had broken through/breached every barrier they had encountered. This was the last one between them and the people the guard was sworn to protect. The police clearly didn't have the resources to arrest everyone breaking in.
It sucks but they left the guard no good options.
