what part of "not in imminent danger til the door was breached" do you not understand?
Why was that door
LOCKED? To keep people out of that area.
Why did they break out the window in the door? To access the area that the
LOCKED door was preventing them from accessing.
Why did Ashli climb into window of the
LOCKED door? She did so as a means to circumvent the
LOCK on the door which was preventing them from accessing the hallway on the other side of the door and the chambers where our Congressional members had been ordered to take shelter.
When was the door
BREACHED? When Ashli climbed into the window
The mobsters were beginning to get a bit frantic because they could see through the door that the Congressional members were making an escape through another door and the mob escalated their efforts to get to them before they could all leave.
If you have people (a mob) in front of you trying to get to the people behind you who you are protecting, while it's an unfortunate choice to have to make, the choice should be to eliminate the threat in front of you to prevent them from getting to those behind you, who you are charged to protect.
Ashli got shot and killed for being a part of a mob who was perpetuating an attacking on our Congressional members. Lt. Byrd wasn't protecting a liquor store, he was protecting the lives of some of our Congressional members. And he did his job properly because they all escaped with their lives intact.
