What's this?

You're an idiot and a hypocrite. He was a Capitol Police Officer, defending

the House Chamber against a marauding mob of insurrectionists smashing through door windows and forcing their way in, drawing closer and closer. The officer was clearly visible, with his gun clearly drawn and trained on the last door window they were trying to smash through. He shot her only as a last resort with people all around her repeatedly shouting well beforehand that he had a gun [trained on the door window]. Once they broke through, like a fool, she ignored that, started climbing through the window opening ANYWAY, and he shot her in her shoulder at the peak of her climb.

It was a tragic and completely needless waste, but in any other similar situation involving law enforcement, you and your side would be the first to defend and even applaud the officer's actions.
