My intent was to provide a point of reference. I think principles are the things we stick to even when it’s hard to do - and which many conservatives abandon as soon as it’s convenient as we see in the case of all the evangelicals who are voting for Trump (for which I consider them unprincipled). So in these instances we have a chance to compare whether or not our instincts to protect people who *don’t pull guns on cops" and get shot are the same across multiple situations.
