New threat to 2nd A?

Overused sayings of 2025. And spilling into 2026:

Waste, fraud, and abuse
Whataboutism

Get off twitter and give it a break.
The top three were an eye roll for me until I personally became the target of it last year. I’m no pushover - I plumbed the depths of the hands of power, and brought to light what I could. What I found was the administrations targeting WF&A embody those things to the same degree or more. No surprise - nevertheless, it’s still a wake-up call to lay eyes on the hand in the cookie jar.
 
I had numerous people approach me while armed as a LEO and guess what not one of them died. Many of them with ill intentions or mentally unstable as well. I side with the NRA's statement. But we will not see an unbiased investigation into this shooting IMO if the FBI handles the investigation. Or any federal agency for that matter I think. On the flip side I'm not so sure a state or local investigation would be unbiased as well.
In my opinion this is a bad shoot all the way around for numerous reasons. But you know what opinions are. 30 years into a career at this point. It's not the first time I've seen an officer over react in a situation.

Curious as a LEO - do you think the shooting is totally justified, questionably justified, or clearly unjustified?
