There is a class that all military people are required to take annually while they’re in service. I was teaching it my last few months on active duty, and in the Air Force, it was called “Protection of the President” and included other government officials, including congresscritters. She was active-duty Air Force, too, once upon a time. She broke through the glass into a locked area where the Vice President and other government officials were being sheltered from the so-called rioters. I’m sorry, folks, but the cop did his job. Who you should want to blame for this is not the cop. It’s the person who declared this a riot. That person is responsible. And the people breaking into other windows in the Capitol Building should be happy they didn’t get shot too. Nancy Pelosi’s name comes to mind. Wasn’t she the one who actually refused help? Seems to me she set this up!

That’s nice.
If she had been black wearing ANTIFA clothing the screaming would still be going on.
The black thug shot her because she was White AND unarmed.
You are wrong. Deadly force was not legal for use against protesters getting near congressmen. And Pence was not hiding in that wing.
This was a standard law enforcement operation, by a police department, not a military operation. So all the deadly force rules that apply to any city cop applied here. They were resoundingly violated.
It was outright murder.
Did she break the glass or was she climbing through a previously broken window????
At any rate, with all the hundreds of folks standing and milling around, she was picked out and shot by that cop...
No one else shot, not another round was fired...That was a picked out murder....
Don't forget, government officials on Capitol Hill were urged to evacuate the Capitol Building that day via the secure underground tunnels. Anyone "important" who remained in the building did so to justify the officers' use of deadly force, per the training that you mentioned. Yeah, it was a set-up... and I suspect that Nancy had bipartisan support for her plan.
Bull. Everyone in the chamber weren’t there any longer. They went to their offices outside the Capitol. The exact moment the AZ electors were challenged the “insurrection “ began. Coincidence? No way.
They were rushing out well before anyone entered. All a set up.
