    I’ve never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester while another protester is in the area with a rifle…

    Can you show me a single example of me being wrong?

    Because it’s logically impossible for anyone to prove the opposite, I’d have to show you ever video of American law enforcement shooting someone…

      How about shooting an innocent bystander and the armed protester while he was carrying a rifle.

      They would have thought twice about shooting Arturo if he had a dozen armed friends nearby, I’d wager.

      example of you being wrong

      Arturo Gamboa, the man shot in June while openly carrying a rifle at Salt Lake City’s No Kings protest… Looking to confront Gamboa for his AR-15-style firearm, a safety volunteer fired three shots. Two struck him, and another killed an innocent bystander… When asked about his actions that day, Gamboa said he was “peacefully protesting, utilizing my First and Second Amendment rights under the Constitution.”…
