Cops already shoot protesters.

Of course he will have protesters shot - that’s what he was nominated to do.

I don’t know much about why he was picked, other than him being a sycophant who will blindly follow all illegal orders; also he is expendable, but will probably not resign.

Truly, one in a thousand

And protesters shouldn't say whether or not they'll shoot Pete Hegseth.
