Sounds like you would get a "Kent State" situation really easily that way.

Depends, were they shooting peaceful protesters holding hands singing kumbaya or rioters that were throwing fire bombs?
Here's the thing, they usually tell the cops to restrain from defending themselves and others because they don't want it elevated into something more and then they tell them to "Be safe out there."
Protesters...fine. Throwing anything - rocks, bottles and molotov cocktails....shoot to kill. They are then no longer peaceful protesters, they are criminals. It's pretty easy. Are they trying to bait the cops so it will get out of control? Yep, but if they're dead, they'll never do it again.
As an armed citizen, I don't think anyone here wouldn't shoot some dirtbag that was throwing rocks or bottles at them or their family. Why would it be different for cops? Because they get paid to keep the citizens safe? Isn't that what they would be doing?
See, I couldn't be a cop.... for longer than a day.
It's not as easy to deal with rioters throwing molotov cocktails when they are throwing them from a crowd of mostly peaceful protesters.
As cops they have to follow a continiuum of force that you don't have to follow as a private citizen.
They can only respond to rocks and bottles with tear gas and non-lethal rubber rounds.
They have to be targeted with a firearm to use their own firearm and lethal force.
The CRS (anti-riot police) in France are all equipped with firearms to deal with armed individuals but they never had to shoot at the crowd.
The way they deal with people throwing incendiary devices is to identify them and arrest them later.
Since last year, when molotov cocktails haven been thrown directly on police officers, they have been issues fire blanket and fire resistant balaclavas.
There are plain clothes police officers in the crowd to identify people throwing incendiary devices (another reason why they can't shoot at them).
In some videos you can see plain clothes investigators collecting evidences left behind by the rioters to get fingerprints and such.
282 people have been arrested since Tuesday.
They get shot with 40mm rubber balls pretty often.
A few protesters/rioters have suffered pretty serious injuries like the loss of an eye.
Looks like something that belongs in KJQ's collection.

And fascists, don't forget the fascists.Consequences are a social construct created by the white male patriarchy to oppress women and people of color.

We can laugh at all the dorks coming to this cryfest about how they deserve girlfriends when they don't even respect women.
