curt #22- Police, presidents and others are protected by qualified immunity. That qualification being that they are performing their work in a reasonable manner, even if they made a mistake.
And then went on to say...
“Lt. Byrd erroneously believed and acted on a false radio call and/or false report of shots fired on the House floor occurring before he left the House floor and moved across the Speaker’s Lobby to the adjacent Retiring Room,” alleges the lawsuit.
“A reasonably prudent officer in Lt. Byrd’s position would have been aware that, in fact, the report was false and the sound heard on the House floor was glass breaking, not shots fired,” the lawsuit continues.
He Just shown the defendants case. Thusly was the "Kristallnacht." When do you "reasonably, quit shooting?" according to curt, never, until they're all dead." I would add there are (according to curt), plays in the scenario that indicate the sounds are broken glass, not shots (different in decibels and their sound). (pcidencitudardojne below).

What does Kristallnacht have to do with this? Rioters broke glass?
Officer Byrd took one shot, hitting Babbitt in the shoulder. Given the situation that was reasonable and appropriate.
