A "violent" mob that had armed police officers mingling with it just on the other side of the door, being breached by an unarmed woman.
No need for quotations. The fact that they were violent is evidence in the damage and destruction they were doing in order to breach the barricaded doors.
You're also avoiding the question, probably because you know the answer.
No, just watching you jump through hoops to blow things out of proportion for political gain.
Nothing's been blown out of proportion just because you're a faithful idiot. That woman was a threat to lawmakers when attempted to gain access to where they were hiding.
an unarmed woman was a threat....
You're an idiot, Marty. The cop protecting law makers had no idea if she was personally armed or not. He also had no way of knowing if had he let her gain access to the House chamber, the mob wouldn't have followed her.
It was a good shoot. That's why he won't be charged with a crime.
He wasn't in immediate risk, shown by the other cops being interspersed with the protesters on the one side of the door.
What makes me think they know it's a bad shoot is the length of time it's taking to come up with a result of the investigation, and the complete dropping of the matter by the media.
And why hasn't his name been released yet? Any other officer in any other shooting under investigation would have been identified.
Of course he was as were the lawmakers behind him. That mob was smashing through the doors and began to enter the Speaker's Lobby. It was his duty to keep them out. He did a fine job as not one single Trump cultist got into the House chamber until all the lawmakers inside were safely escorted out.
By shooting an unarmed woman, pour encouragement les autres.
Don't think that's in the use of deadly force guidelines.
She was the only one shot because she was the only one who tried to enter. Had she not been shot, the rest of the mob behind her would have followed, just as they had throughout the Capitol. That cop deserves a medal.
Still not justified via use of deadly force protocols.
You're an idiot, Marty. Such protocols permit the use of lethal force if such force is reasonably believed necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm. Given that lunatic mob stormed the Capitol and was hunting for politicians to murder, that's a reasonable belief.
For those on the right who want to say it was ANTIFA who did the violence at the riot
Capitol Defendant Bragged About Brawling With Cops On Pro-Trump Forum
Jose Padilla, who the feds say fought with police during the Capitol attack, said on the online forum TheDonald that God was on his side.
A
Donald Trump fan caught on camera brawling with police officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was charged by the feds this week after he bragged about his conduct on a Trump fan site and pushed back on the online conspiracy theory that undercover “antifa” members were behind the violence.
Jose Padilla faces several charges, including felony counts of obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and assault on a law enforcement officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon. Federal officials say he pushed up against the police line while wearing a scuba mask and shoved officers trying to stop the pro-Trump mob from storming the Capitol. He also helped rioters use a giant metal-framed Trump sign as a battering ram against officers on the police line, and threw a flagpole at officers trying to keep the mob out of the building.
“There’s a lot of memes and posts flying around saying that the people who were fighting last night were all Antifa provacateurs etc. I just want to say that as a first hand observer of every point of last night, that it was not Antifa. They were Patriots who were trying to Restore the Republic after being attacked by the cops, who struck first,” Padilla wrote on Facebook, according to the feds. “Even those who broke the windows next to the doorway to the Capitol were Patriots trying to find a way to turn the Flanks of the cops.”
On the online forum TheDonald.win, Padilla wrote about his involvement in the attack, saying that he “pushed the rails,” “pushed the stairs,” and “pushed the doorway.”
“I was beaten unconscious twice, sprayed more times than I care to count, received strikes from batons that should have been lethal (Multiple temple and carotid strikes) except that God was on my side,” Padilla wrote, the feds say.
Padilla also worked to correct the record about online rumors that “Antifa” was somehow responsible for the pro-Trump mob’s efforts.
“Honestly, the guy breaking the windows weren’t Antifa,” he wrote. “They were Patriots trying to find a new way in so we could flank the cops who were holding the doorway.”
IDIOT. But at least he truly believes he was right doing what he did. He still believes the election was stolen. Only one problem. It wasn't.
The case against Padilla was unsealed at about the same time that Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) used his time at a hearing on the Capitol attack to float a conspiracy theory that “agents provocateurs” and “fake Trump protesters” were responsible for the attack.
