The amusing thing that you refuse to admit is that the officers in front of the door would have had a justification for the use of deadly force IF they really felt threatened. Michael Byrd, behind a barricade had no such justification. Why did he feel threatened when officers directly exposed to the mob didn't?They left their post because their lives were in danger. Not to mention, if lethal force would have been needed to keep that violent mob out of the House chamber, they had to be moved out so they wouldn't get caught in the line of fire.
