Cop Who Killed Woman In Capitol Had No Choice: Rep

[skews13]

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed an Air Force vet when a mob stormed the beacon of democracy on Wednesday “didn’t have a choice at that time,” a GOP lawmaker who witnessed the shooting said Thursday. “They were trying to come through the front door, which is where I was at in the chamber, and in the back they were trying to come through the speaker’s lobby, and that’s problematic when you’re trying to defend two fronts,” Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said on Good Morning America.

I don't disagree with her being shot but to say the officer didn't have a choice is pretty stupid to say. Why the need to try to boost his reputation? Does the author believe he did have a choice and is trying to defend his actions? The article seems to make it sound like he really did have a choice.

Yes as a general answer. In the bigger picture there were many people coming in. What happened is the officer panicked and just fired. That should never be OK.

It was widely reported that the MAGA Thugs were going through the building looking for Congress members.

Capitol Police have a job to protect members of Congress. Those trying to breach secure doors to reach Congressmen were a threat to their lives.

They were given numerous warnings about a possibly lethal response

When you fire a warning shot, you shoot OVER their heads, not THROUGH it.

There was no reason for lethal force.

The rabid MAGAturd was breaking into a secure room where the police were protecting our political leaders you dumb ass.

Did we defund the capitol police too?

They knew all these people would be there. This was such a well planned coodinated attack on our nation.
