that police were justified in shooting an unarmed black man seven times in the back and another unarmed black man who was running away from them because they were supposedly in fear of their lives now wring their hands and insist that a white woman who got shot while rioting in the U.S. Capitol was an innocent victim of unnecessary deadly force.

I'm going to go out on a limb here regarding the woman who was "shot". [View all] Progressive Jones Jan 2021 OP

Probably not. Fact is, just about anyone climbing through a Capitol window Hoyt Jan 2021 #1

The odd thing is, in one angle you can see in the direction she was facing going through that window Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #3

I see a policeman holding a rifle and men in suits. Don't know what happened, Hoyt Jan 2021 #6

Doesn't Really Matter sfstaxprep Jan 2021 #2

Exactly. nt Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #4

Dunno, gotta wait for 'Medical Examiner's report. elleng Jan 2021 #5

I read she was shot from inside the chambers. herding cats Jan 2021 #7

Based on what I could see, she was not shot from behind. Hard to tell if Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #10

It isn't that hard sarisataka Jan 2021 #15

Thanks. I'll look at it again. nt Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #18

Watch the video sarisataka Jan 2021 #19

Upon further review, I'd say you are right. I can see a man in a suit down that corridor. Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #20

I thought the police were on the other side of the doors where they were smashing the glass. Make7 Jan 2021 #8

This corresponds with what I read. herding cats Jan 2021 #14

I think she got too close to gldstwmn Jan 2021 #9

The Speaker's lobby door was barricaded, meaning people were in there,... brush Jan 2021 #11

That wasn't the Speaker's office - it was the Speaker's Lobby, which is right off the House floor StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #13

Yes. And wouldn't the Speaker's lobby be a way to her office suite? brush Jan 2021 #17

The Speaker's Lobby is the name for the lobby right outside of the House Chamber on the second floor StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #21

Ahhh. Thanks. brush Jan 2021 #28

The Speaker's Office Is Very Close To The House Chambers sfstaxprep Jan 2021 #22

The Speaker's office is upstairs. StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #23

My take StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #12

Agree. They didn't pile all that furniture in front of that door just for kicks. Hassin Bin Sober Jan 2021 #24

It absolutely came from inside the lobby. BGBD Jan 2021 #25

Thank You. She must never be seen as a victim. Period. nt Progressive Jones Jan 2021 #31

Your take fits what I've gleaned from reporters today. herding cats Jan 2021 #26

She was a violent thug, shut during the commission of a serious crime. May she rot in hell. n/t. NNadir Jan 2021 #16

I'm gonna sit here with NNadir on this one. TeamPooka Jan 2021 #29
