Nobody shot at cops on Jan 6. Are you talking about the guy that brought a gun to the protest in Minneapolis? Bringing guns to protests ups the ante considerably. | ||||||||

“That guy” had a name. His name was Alex Pretti. He was disarmed before he was shot in the head. He was not even holding his weapon at any point. Are you implying that simply carrying a legal firearm while at a protest means you can be murdered, without any subsequent investigation? Again the Overton window has shifted so far just in my lifetime. This would have been front page news with congressional investigations just 10-15 years ago.
