A Lethal threat has to be present and it has to be specific. That imminent lethal threat didn't appear in either case. The cops in Minneapolis didn't fire, because they didn't have justification to do so.
I don't care what the police think is a lethal threat. I don't care what is "legally" justified. I care about what's going through the guy's head at the time, when he's firing at people who are yelling and breaking through his barricade, who could potentially overwhelm him and his fellow officers whether armed or not.
And you'd be a murderer in every state in the union.
At least I'd be alive to be a murderer. I'm not stopping to microanalyze every facet of a threat before I decide if I need to shoot at aggressive assailants. If you knowingly present a significant threat to someone holding a gun, expect to get shot.
One way or another, you're fucking igonrant.
Sure, Mister "they shot her for looking through a window".
What are you up to, and why are you concern trolling at people you're glad to see dead.

Sorry dude, accuracy is important and you've been framing this dishonestly from the start. I'm not going to derail by accusing you of being a leftist/concern troll/whatever, but this "conversation" feels just like I'm arguing with one.
But I believe we should be using their own tactics against them, so congratulations for that. Maybe I should be learning from you.
It's hard to find video of this anymore, so you'll forgive me linking to the NBC website
