  • I think it’s important to point out that this is not justifiable because he was a jan 6 rioter, but because he was reaching for a gun.

    It’s a small distinction, but an important one, as justifications can easily stretch to encompass things they shouldn’t. If it’s ok for an officer to kill someone at a traffic stop solely because they were at the riot, then it won’t be long before it’s justification for killing someone at a protest, or just for speaking out.

    So good riddance to bad rubbish in this case, but be wary of dismissing a police officer killing someone just because we don’t like them.








  • Simple, they want the public to believe that if they follow in the killers footsteps, they will be caught and go through hell in order to dissuade other people who might do the same. There are obviously a lot of people who applaud his actions, so to try to prevent them from getting the idea that they can do this too, they make a show of force to make them think twice.

    In the end it doesn’t matter if Luigi did it or not. As long as people are scared of the pinishment, they will hesitate to imitate.

    Not true justice, but they never really cared about that to begin with.
