Despite having been the one to shoot and kill Ah Loo and wound Arturo, the yet unidentified No Kings “peacekeeper” was detained and released without charges after being questioned by police.

We know zero about the shooter(s) besides they claimed to be volunteer peacekeepers, but the volunteer peacekeepers were forbidden from carrying guns...

I don't know why people keep acting like they had any type of authority.

They saw a gun carrying a gun breaking zero laws and started blasting.

Good intentions or not, they deserve to be charged and have their firearms taken away.

But this is a larger problem as the article gets into. These "peacekeepers" aren't there to protect from the police, they're there to police protesters and hand anyone further left than they are to the police.

A growing presence at demonstrations in recent years, many protesters hold disdain for protest marshals, pejoratively called “peace police.” To many, the use of marshals hampers spontaneous and autonomous tactics, and puts those who are willing to take more risky actions during protests in danger. In some instances, these “peace police” have gone so far as to isolate and turn in to police protesters who take on more confrontational roles, leading to arrests and police violence.

They're working against the cause not for it, even if they dont understand what's happening

Neoliberals with guns, they do t care about any rules restricting themselves, but will literally murder a bystander if someone else is doing the exact same thing.

Like, when it comes down to it the only people who fucked up were the "peacekeepers". And now someone is dead.
