I think this guy did a lot more than breathe wrong. And he was armed. So what argument are you making about this case?
Basically, another cop in some other time did something wrong. So this is okay

Just saying cops are allowed to do things that most people aren't. A cop would respond with lethal force if a civilian reacted at all, so how can we hold anyone else to a higher standard?

Civilians need to be better trained than cops obviously

The cops didn't react with lethal force until he pulled out his gun. And yes, of course police are allowed to do things that other people aren't. They're allowed to detain you. They're allowed to arrest you. And they're allowed to use a reasonable amount of force if you resist or pose a threat. They do not have an obligation to retreat. And they do not have to get off someone's lawn if their is justification to arrest them, which there was here when the suspect began making overt visual and verbal threats. Him being at his own house doesn't mean jack shit at that point.

. If a person threw a rock at police you would be in an outrage if the police killed them. When someone gets shot with a beanbag for threatening police with a firearm, suddenly murder is fair game. Fucking psychopaths.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you one of the types who thinks Rittenhouse is innocent? The white supremacist who decided to murder someone for throwing a plastic bag at them?(And shot two others who attempted to stop the shooter)

I believe Kyle is a piece of shit but I also believe his case for self-defense is strong unless there is ample new evidence from discovery.

Well how is that fair? Civilians are only human. You can't expect them to be rational robots. Cops can be scary and people might freak out. Please have some understanding.

fucking insecure, power tripping pigs. it's like they have literally zero training about how to deescalate a situation and instead just want to flex their power at the first sign of someone not blindly obeying them. man, so many cops really fucking suck.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And for some reason the police have basically been given absolute power as it takes riots to get an officer who clearly did wrong to be tried and convicted.
