But dude, that video shows that the shooting was justified. Those people were trying to break through a barricaded door that was separating them from members of congress.
I mean, that's literally exactly what you want the police guarding congress to do. What other actions were they supposed to take? Just allow those people to break through the barricade and then do whatever they're planning to do once they're inside? If those people had broken through the barricade and then injured members of Congress, what then? We were supposed to just let them through?....

This whole thing was ridiculously violent. It's amazing the police didn't kill more of them...

Yeah, I saw an even shorter edited version of this video. I still say those police at the door shouldn't have moved and there should've been non-lethal riot control options deployed before they even got to the lobby doors. The way he was there with his finger on the trigger just waiting for a target, no warning, no placing himself between the assailants and the congressmen (who weren't in the lobby at that point, from what I can see), it's all wrong on both sides.

People breaking down the doors, that's fucked. But Capital Police going from scooting out of their way to opening fire from a peripheral shooting angle? That's like shooting a horse after leading it to the trough. It's slaughter, not self- defense.

i cut the cop behind the door some slack. they had chairs blocking that doorway. from what i can tell it was a last line of defense. he obviously didn't know the flood of people that were coming at that door. he drew a line and was not going to let anyone in. if that woman was a black BLM supporter or a islamists or chinese soldier, they all should be shot. We know better. We should be better. Ashli knew better, but let herself get caught up in that frenzy... i mourn her death, but don't blame the cop.
