I have family that were in law enforcement and I am very much aware of my pro-blue default nature but I also have some vestigial libertarianism that counterbalances my bias.
I'm not even saying you're wrong, I just think it's too early to judge (the soup/meat analogy is perfect).
If anything the last 10+ years has taught me is patience, especially with incidents like these.

Do you have a different video that provides more context than the one I've seen?
You've written up a whole story, psychoanalyzed this officer and based on very scant video. We have no context for what was occurring around her, or the officer, we have an incredibly narrow field of view and for all we know someone adjacent to her could have been throwing something and the shot was errant.

"We burn, break shit, and threaten people all the time, which is fine and good"
"You only do it the once, when you're really upset, so that's bad."
It's really solid, well founded logic.

This is particularly rich because so much of the justification for puberty blockers and minor transition has been a "You can have a live daughter or a dead (suicide) son!" fear mongering which turns out to have been based flawed/non-existent studies.

Your comment is very confusing, you say you're pro-puberty blocker and list your reasoning, and then every one of your reasons contradicts themselves.
"Adults should be allowed to make their own decisions regarding their body." We're talking about puberty blockers which by definition have to be proscribed to non-adults.
"I'm uncomfortable with non-adults making permanent, irreversible alterations to their body" it seems to me there's fair evidence that puberty blocker's side effects do exactly this.
That's what my brain basically did with it.
