    If those present are not committing actions that pose an immediate risk of harm to others.

    Remember it was yourself who stated those who are engaged in the act of committing assault with a deadly weapon should be given the opportunity to peacefully surrender of their own volition, rather than being met with deadly force as a first response by law enforcement.

    The ones who, in the hypothetical scenario being presented on the part of yourself, actually committed the killings and pulled the triggers? Or the ones who were merely present at the event due to guilt by association?

    I am talking about civilians when being pulled over or questioned by police, not individuals intimidating governments.

    Everyone who showed up at the capital armed to take part in the protest. Unless those who took part and did not shoot their weapons surrender at the court house unarmed. Since in such a situation making an example would be needed.

    Factually incorrect. The situation presented on the part of yourself involved an individual actively attempting to stab others with a knife. That is assault with a deadly weapon.

    Government is supposed to work for the people and heed the calls of their voting constituents. From time to time it is necessary for those who hold political positions of authority to be reminded of the fact that they are the servants, not the people.

    Thus meaning guilt by association. Meaning that those who had no knowledge of what was going to occur, should be treated as if they did, simply because they were present at the time. One may as well claim all male individuals need to be treated as potential rapists simply because they are males and physically capable of committing sexual assault.

    An example of what, precisely? That the people are to be subservient to the government at all times, and have no means of conveying that they oppose proposed legislation?

    The only example being proposed on the part of yourself is one of tyranny and oppression to try and make the public so terrified of speaking out in opposition, that they will never object to whatever course of action the government may wish to implement.
