I've not followed it closely but my understanding is that Mr. "byecep" Gaige Grosskreutz (sp?) claimed he was being a good guy and attempting to subdue what he thought was an active shooter when he confronted Rittenhouse with his Glock. I doubt the veracity of that story, but just for the sake of discussion let's pretend he is telling the truth and he thought KR was an active shooter who had just gunned down two innocent people.
Isn't this just one more lesson about how intervening in any sort of violent situation is generally a bad idea when you don't know all the facts if you yourself aren't in immediate danger? I can't really draw a parallel with the recent accidental police killing of Johnny Hurley because it would seem he reacted according to facts as they were and not just was he perceived them.
Assuming GG was acting in good faith according to the situation as he believed it to be. What are the lessons to be learned?
