Nothing to do with ideology, just the simple fact that once the US Capitol was breached the protestors were committing a criminal act and could be treated as such. Now whether or not that criminal act warranted a firearm discharge is up to debate, but when a large group of people currently breaking the law (and chanting about hanging representatives) are a room or two away from said representatives it's not out of the question that multiple warnings would be acted on. Watching the video it was clear that the plain clothes officer had his glock out for some time. It was even seen/called out by the rioters. He issued multiple verbal warnings to the rioters, which were ignored by Ashli Babbitt. >Your argument that these deaths wouldn't have occurred if they hadn't shown up is also ridiculous as hell. Ashli Babbitt would most likely be alive today if she wasn't in the Capitol on January 6th. That's not only technically correct, it's just correct. ;)
