You have to ask what was beyond the window or door or whatever. If that's where the senators were being protected, then what choice does he have?

I mean I'd like to think there's somewhere much more secure the senators can be evacuated to, but I don't know this. They could've been in an office fouling their underwear.

Yes, they have bunkers inside the building. That's where the "important" people were. They were never in any danger.

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.

[Mr.Banana]

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.

One of the new Qanon congresswomen tweetet out their location down to the minute when the mob was coming up the stairs. I know those fuckers like to do "research" but apparently they didn't do enough research to know where the chamber of the house was or they would have found them.
Staff and congress was hiding in different locations. They definitely weren't in any sort of bunker. At least not all of them.

[OngBonga]

I'm calling the shooter a cop, when all I saw was a gun. It could have been congress security, or even military. Cop seems most likely, but it's not a given. Who knows where his orders were coming from? Who knows if he intended to fire a warning shot and hit someone by accident? Too much speculation.

I don't have a great deal of sympathy for the lady who was shot. Obviously it's terrible, but when you put yourself in that situation, you have to understand it's a risk you're willingly taking. I mean, the same can be argued when we talk about cops, who sign up for a dangerous job, but there's the difference... the cops are just doing their job, while the protesters are the ones causing the situation.

Unless she/twitter deleted a bunch of her earlier tweets, I think this is a dead end. She didn't tweet that until after 7 pm, by which time the building was already secure.

She's still a fucking loony though. Sarah Palin on crack.

Edit: Unless twitter time-stamped it with UK time and not local time; in that case it was at 2.15 pm D.C. time.
