think me someone who would ever encourage the "execution" of people on the street.

I believe that police officers should shoot back at anyone who shoots at them or others and, further, if a snarling Proud Boy points a gun at someone, the officer should not have to wait for him to pull the trigger. That is not "execution". That is protecting the public and themselves.

At least, that's my opinion.
