She and the rest of the traitors would have had a straight shot at members of Congress.

And no, they don't mean jack. But I'm curious.

A couple young cops on the scene with SWAT type weapons, who decide they are going to be attacked and killed, and 100s of these clowns might have been killed. They got very, very lucky that not one of the cops panicked and opened fire.

Killing anyone, particularly a woman, has to be gutting. But he did what had to be done to protect those lives he was sworn to protect and defend.

For standing up for Democracy and protecting our Constitution.

This man deserves a bottle of this, in the Bartcop tradition.
