Yemen showed that a few desert tribes with some drones from Iran can tie down a third of the US Navy for over a year and win
Yemen showed that if you're not willing to commit boots on the ground, it's very hard to permanently take out 100% of mobile/distributed launch sites with just air strikes.

If a racist motive leads to uncovering genuine fraud, should that fraud then be ignored or tolerated
Suppose it's a political motive instead? I don't like political witch hunts, even when they turn up dirt, because it was never about finding and solving problems and crimes, it's about hurting the outgroup. I don't like the blatant lawfare against Trump; i don't like lawfare done against anyonr else, either, even if it turns out to have been justified after the fact.

"A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money."
The primary argument I know is "Babbit (and the rest of the protestors) were actively engaged in violence (see also: the one officer who was struck in the head with a heavy object), and therefore Babbit was shot in self-defence (usually accompanied by a photo of protestors inside the Capitol with fists raised looking angry), whereas Good was at no point attempting to harm the officer, and even though he was probably out of the way of the car (especially when he fired the shots), he at the very least put himself in harm's way."
Is it accurate to the situation on the ground, in either case? I haven't looked at any videos of either, and I'm sure the exact opposite argument is made in circles I don't really frequent. I'm merely summarizing/aggregating the argument I see most often.
