    First off, the shooter claims that the cop was about to murder an unarmed protestor.

    But more importantly, it was just one person who shot. Collective punishment is literally against the Geneva Convention.

    Imagine getting a 50 year prison sentence because you were peacefully protesting at a place where someone else shot a cop. By the same logic, every cop that was present when Alex Pretti was executed should have 50+ year prison sentences.

      I know reading comprehension is not great on this site, but I’m in no way shape or form making an argument the protestors were in the wrong. Literally just providing context.

        It’s cool that you were able to get that snarky remark in, but I was not necessarily disagreeing or arguing with you.

        However, reading your comment again, it still comes across as cop apologetics. It’s the “the protest did end with a cop being shot”. It’s a justification. Maybe you didn’t intend that, but that’s the implication.

        Did I comprehend ok?
