One would think a normal person would have a look of disgust.
As a shooter or a target? We ARE talking about a FED after all
“Where I live, private citizens, who use deadly force to shoot at people doing minor property crime (breaking into a car) when the vehicle is unoccupied, can face some heavy penalties.”
The Secret Service vehicle might have had a gun inside of it. It might also had communication equipment in it that allows people to hear Secret Service agents communicate. If Big Donkey’s movements are precisely known, Big Donkey is in great danger.

Above is a video of a gun lawyer in Washington State regarding this shooting. “Have you ever read a story that doesn’t pass the ‘smell test’?”
they were shooting at someone trying to break into an empty car unmarked secret service
Somebody needs removed from service. I thought SS were trained better than this. 🤦‍♂️
so...why can’t regular people do that when someone is trying to break into our own vehicle?
Or shorter range next time
The reality they were shooting at someone trying to break into an empty car unmarked secret service and that had nothing to do with her.

Isn’t that patently illegal? Using deadly force to simply protect property when no person is in danger? Leftists lawyers tell me all the time that one is not allowed to do that. Why do the Biden’s get their property protected in such a manner?
“So the lesson here is that it’s ok to use deadly force to protect mere property?”
1. If that was a Secret Service vehicle that was part of a protection detail they were trying to steal, there were probably a number of things stored in it that we don’t want stolen...including firearms and ammunition.
2. Contrary to popular belief and the law, it’s not necessarily “mere property” at risk. The right to have and old property is basic to civilization and property offensives may be considered an offense against civilization.
lolz
1. Citizens sometimes also have things one wouldn’t want stolen, e.g. firearms and ammunition, given they we do have a right to keep and bear such stuff. Nevertheless, a mere peasant would be thrown in jail for shooting in such a situation, i.e. when there isn’t imminent threat of grave bodily harm to anyone.
2. The government has repeatedly found people guilty of crimes when they used deadly force to protect “mere” property - their words. Only Texas, as far as I know, allows use of deadly force to protect property. Certainly not Washington DC.
3. But somehow the Lords here have rights to employ deadly force to protect property we do not. Which is not to say I think breaking into cars should be without consequence.
I think that there is a cover-up of some key facts as to what really happened.
Deadly force use is severely limited by the law in most places.
You: “The Secret Service vehicle might have had a gun inside of it. It might also had communication equipment in it that allows people to hear Secret Service agents communicate. If Big Donkey's movements are precisely known, Big Donkey is in great danger.”
If it had a “firearm” inside it, it should have been locked up. That is a usual pro-gun control locality requirement. No one, not even the Secret Service should be careless with firearm storage.
As to the radio theory, that still doesn't justify using deadly force for someone breaking into a car that has not yet entered the car and started to steal things. That is not a proportional use. Starting shooting is the kind of stupid untrained response that got poor unarmed Ashli Babbitt shot and killed, when it was not warranted.
Law enforcement in WA DC seems to be acting in a manner that is counter to the law and a danger to the public. Either that or there is some kind of cover up going on that we aren't being told about.
