You don't have to suggest it, it comes from your argument that the Royal Guards "acted professionally" while the cop did not, the ONLY difference is the cop used pepper spray and the guards just pointed their guns at those people who were irking them.

Pepper spray = nonlethal deterrent

Loaded rifle = life taking weapon


Now maybe you don't have the experience with guns that the average American does, but due to that reasoning I left you with some links about gun safety and in the beginning of all of them it states "Always treat the gun as if it is loaded and ready to fire" and "don't point the gun at anything you are not willing to kill"....those are BASIC safety rules, but if you want to act like having a rifle pointed at you is safer than taking some pepper spray in the eye fine, I'll take the pepper spray and you can go ahead and tempt fate hoping not to get accidentally shot dead.



But you go ahead as per usual and do your virtue signaling, get on top of your soapbox and lecture me about how evil the US is because "a protester can't even taunt and torment a cop there man....pfffft so much for freedom"......she crossed the line (likewise with the tourist touching the guard) when she made physical contact with the cop. It doesn't fucking matter that it's a balloon, it doesn't matter what she's yelling at him, it doesn't matter what she's protesting, her right to free speech, her right to peaceful assembly ends when she makes contact with the cop....it's a fairly simple matter
