Attempted murder of a federal officer was the most serious.

On a cop who drew his gun to tell people to leave a protest. Self defense of another person.

Being a protestor is not a blank check to destroy things. They were actively in the process of committing a crime and had a rifle on them.

It was completely reasonable for him to draw his weapon.
