Because that's how the system works.

why did the police abandon their duties and move away. they had a bunch with big guns coming msongs Jan 2021 #1
The guns were coming to evacuate them first... Ellipsis Jan 2021 #11
They were getting out of the way of those with guns who prepared to shoot protestors if Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #60
I read somewhere this was the same hallway Pence was evacuated through moments before. liberalmuse Jan 2021 #2
If the terrorists breached those doors they would have had access to the House Floor just feet away. aeromanKC Jan 2021 #3
Got what she deserved... Moostache Jan 2021 #4

Really tragic but true. coeur_de_lion Jan 2021 #46
Somehow, I think the cop-shooter was wrong on this. 3Hotdogs Jan 2021 #7
The doors were being breached. The shot woman was climbing through a fucking opening. SMC22307 Jan 2021 #10
Agreed. Had she gotten through the door she would have removed the barricade. Ellipsis Jan 2021 #14
Exactly. I may be a bad person but I have no sympathy for her. Those three unarmed cops... SMC22307 Jan 2021 #22
I've been numb since the election on all this stuff. Ellipsis Jan 2021 #28
I also have no sympathy for her but was any life in danger when she was shot? 3Hotdogs Jan 2021 #48
She climbed through the window it was aimed at her.She was air force and was a trained killer. Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #62
Yes. They were about to gain access to the House chamber. Straw Man Jan 2021 #64
That was the last barrier Sgent Jan 2021 #70
Yes. If those terrorists had gotten past the barrier, they would have taken Blue_true Jan 2021 #72
Ahhh, she climbs thru and OPENS the door for the rest of the rabble? Ya think? winstars Jan 2021 #16
Somehow I don't. 11 Bravo Jan 2021 #20
Suppose she had a fucking bomb in that back pack? dware Jan 2021 #21

An alternate thought for this to remember. Oneironaut Jan 2021 #27
Agree..it wasn't just "her", it was an entire mob LeftInTX Jan 2021 #40
Yep, and what happened after that lone shot? misanthrope Jan 2021 #84
Yeah you're right UnderThisLaw Jan 2021 #29
Half of her body was though the opening. Ms. Toad Jan 2021 #31

There is a big freaking difference between BarackTheVote Jan 2021 #66
She was climbing through the window...no doubt many other would have followed...there Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #61
I think your definition of breech is incorrect kcr Jan 2021 #83
before the cops moved away from the door KayF Jan 2021 #8
The MAGAT on the left repeatedly yelled "there's a gun!" while pointing to it. SMC22307 Jan 2021 #19
that's what made me think of it KayF Jan 2021 #24
Three unarmed cops were trying to keep them from breaking through those doors. SMC22307 Jan 2021 #41
Did they think they were allowed to be smashing in windows and doors? Crunchy Frog Jan 2021 #47
They were white. All the disturbances that have happened, no cop has fired on white folks, just LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #32
The woman killed was white. I don't know who shot her, do you? SMC22307 Jan 2021 #43
They are secret service.. Once she got her body through the opening an officer with a hand gun shot LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #49
OK. And that MAGAT on the left yelled a couple of timese about a gun... SMC22307 Jan 2021 #55
They could not let her in. The police had no idea what was in the backpack. They knew LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #57
Exactly. Send in the smallest, open the doors for the rest, then wham! SMC22307 Jan 2021 #59
No they weren't. dware Jan 2021 #65
So, was Speaker Pelosi, Senator President McConnell, or Senate President-elect Blue_true Jan 2021 #75
I don't know, the article doesn't say, but it could have been dware Jan 2021 #76
It was a joint session, with Pence present, that was abruptly stopped. nt Blue_true Jan 2021 #77
So it could have been a combination of Capitol Police and Secret Service. dware Jan 2021 #78
I agree. Blue_true Jan 2021 #79
+100. dware Jan 2021 #80
Had that woman had gotten through, others would have followed. Blue_true Jan 2021 #81
There is no doubt in my mind that they had inside help, dware Jan 2021 #82
If they were Secret Service, Pence was likely very nearby. nt Blue_true Jan 2021 #73
According to the previous reports, they had just escorted him out. LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #74
When you can see a gun or guns drawn that is the time to take it seriously. BannonsLiver Jan 2021 #35
We don't know how many or what warnings they got before the tape starts. meadowlander Jan 2021 #39
I agree, there's a ton we don't know KayF Jan 2021 #44
She brought it on herself. Evidently these MAGAT terrorists had maps of the tunnels... SMC22307 Jan 2021 #9
That is a very good way to get a bullet in your head. nt BrightKnight Jan 2021 #12
Nice, clear video of rabid MAGATs breaking down the door... more arrests and firings forthcoming. SMC22307 Jan 2021 #13
Those cops must have been scared to death. StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #15
Thank you for connecting the dots on that point. crickets Jan 2021 #54
There were riot cops coming up the stairs to their left who were relieving them. BarackTheVote Jan 2021 #67
Also true, but they weren't going to get there in time to stop Babbitt. Unfortunate. nt crickets Jan 2021 #68

The officer acted appropriately IMO BannonsLiver Jan 2021 #38
All the police did. catch more video on ABC.. Officers wedging their bodies in doorways to keep LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #52
There are definitely a few those actions need to be reviewed. BarackTheVote Jan 2021 #69
