There's also the guy from the New Yorker video saying the cop that he should be stopping them

what was happening.
A video taken by a pair of young journalists walking with the crowd toward the Capitol was mostly jollies for them (as long as they had an OAN sleeve on their mike and not CNN) -- until the animal roar of the mob attacking the building up ahead grew. Then they got scared and before long decided they'd better leave.
Around that time I started noticing that, while they and the crowd they were among kept walking forward, there was now a steady little river of people to their left who'd been farther up but had already reversed course and were walking away from what turned out to be happening.
