Ong - what if the cop just put he gun away, opened the door and said "Fuck it, go ahead"

How would that be worse than what actually happened?

It doesn't really matter what I think happens. What does the cop think happens, with the information he has at the time, given the stress and fear he is currently under? Does he think standing down will endanger congress, staff or security? Maybe he was under direct orders to not stand down. idk.

Every other cop in the place was faced with the exact same decision. They were all armed. They were all confronted by crowds of people in one way or another. They all knew they were standing between the protesters and law makers.

Somehow only one cop used bullets.

Sure, but this one cop was protecting an area where the protesters had not yet accessed. That entrance might have been a "red line". We're speculating hard here, I'm unaware of a report on this yet, but the details should trickle out over time. As things stand, I'll give the cop the benefit of the doubt and assume he was justified in his actions.

Face it dude, the cop shit his pants. That's all. That used to be a crime, until it was a Trump supporter getting killed.
