BTW, you don’t want to argue the crime. Not with me.
Explain to me what crime she was committing that warranted deadly force? Elements and degree of crime. Get with it smart ass

Aren't police trained to use lethal force if they (and others) are in imminent danger?
Who do you think that officer was charged to protect? That doorway was a choke point and the last line between violent rioters and numerous members of Congress and staffers. Was the mob there to deliver flowers?
Rep Markwayne Mullin R-OK watched the whole thing from behind the barricade the officers had set up (and was in the process of being breached), and said the officer who took the shot "didn’t have a choice at that time."
The shot totally stopped the mob's advance at that door.
So you get with it.

To understand how agonizing the decision to shoot or not shoot was in the case of the Capitol riot, it’s important to know something about police policies involving lethal force. While every department has its own specific use-of-force policies, they all revolve around the notion of an imminent deadly threat. Officers are authorized — they are compelled — to use deadly force to prevent death or serious bodily injury to themselves or others.
