None, as they turned tail after the first bullet flew. You dont get to whine about the officers turning back the violent mob, then parade their success about as a reason the mob was not dangerous. That is so stupid it hurts.
Oh, that would be the "violent mob" that didn't hurt a single person that you claim they were there to harm? What did that group actually do other than pose for pictures and take Nancy's podium? Can you say "tempest in a teapot"?
Seems like every single Capital Police officer on that day was "injured" doesn't it, Chillicothe! Come on dude, civil servants use an incident like this one as a "get out of jail free card"! Nobody wants to be a cop these days...this is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to retire early on full disability to claim that they've been physically and mentally "scarred" by the events of that day!
They hurt plenty of people. And they didnt get to hurt congresspeople because they turned tail after the officer shot their pointwoman.
No. The orange ***** called them pussies.
The fact that you view the shooting of an unarmed protester at point blank range a "success" tells me volumes about you, Fort! The fact that it came to that simply underscores what a complete failure security by the Capital Police was that day.
That's not what I said, ya little weasel. I said the officer was successful in turning away the mob. I don't even need to argue that the ends justified the means. he would have been just as justified, had they not turned back, and had he picked off 10 of them. And even just the one was tragic. I blame trump and the Big Lie for her death more than I ever would an officer in the Capitol doing exactly what he was supposed to do.
First of all "Business Insider" is a liberally bias publication so I'm going to take whatever they say with a very large grain of salt! So now it's up to 200 officers injured...up from 140? Boy they just keep dropping like flies and it's been six months since the riot! Must be a slow developing injury...
Gee, do you think it might have been a more prudent step to use pepper spray on someone trying to force their way through a window or a door? Or to hit them with a baton? Why do you think this particular Police Officer felt the need to aim his weapon at an unarmed woman's head and pull the trigger?
Yes, 140 capitol police + 65 DC police = 205 officers. You took that 'grain of salt' and put it where your brain should be, which you should use to read the article before commenting on it.
With no gas mask, in a hallway, and an angry mob about to breach the hall way to the chamber where the congress members were sheltering in place? No, no I don't think that's a better idea.
I read the article and it told me exactly what I thought it would. Business Insider is STILL trying to make it seem like the Police Officer who died...died because of injuries he sustained in the riot and his autopsy made it quite clear that had nothing to do with it. They even went so far as infer that blame for the suicide deaths of two other officers since Jan. 6th rests on the rioters.
Yet i just had to explain the number to you. But okay.
Ah, Fort? Police use pepper spray without having a gas mask on all the time. You think the Capital Police are trained to die to protect our politicians? You're a funny guy...
