usually, from what ive seen, cops that try breaking up mobs dont succeed, because the protestors will turn it violent.

of course not. i wasnt being completely serious. execution shouldnt be the punishment but it certainly should be dealt with severely

My view on the whole blocking the highway thing still stands, but making it lethal to kill protesters does make a lot of room for that law being abused, I feel like excessive force should be allowed in the context of say those Antifa activists, they were blocking a road for, forget I'm not sure why even.
This law is bad, but the context behind it I can agree with, and thinking about it this law is pretty unnecessary, police can already use lethal force, but if this law comes about then it would mean that almost any protest, peaceful or violent, would be subject to it.

you know, ending human lives just because they have a different opinion and want to express it by making someone 30 minutes late for work. definitely a cardinal sin worthy of death by the hand of the state

The whole point is the people supporting this bill aren't wary of losing some of their rights because they aren't on the "other" side and they don't have to worry about it.

Have you ever gotten a rubber bullet to the chest? No? Then don't tell me that the tactics they use aren't serious
