“The mob was going to come through the door,...”

MOB???

I watched the video. There was A girl, a couple others maybe and whoever was holding their phone up to video the incident.

... oh yeah, there were about FIVE fully armed police/special guard/ troops IMMEDIATELY behind the girl.

If anything can be called a mob, it was those guys with the black helmets, black suits, AR’s in hand...

Indeed Mullin can take himself Rand Paul and all the other cowardly GOP to hell. As if there is ever a reason to gun down an unarmed woman.

Oh come on now, they should have at least called in a social worker to mediate the dispute.

You are correct.

The law is very clear.

The officer committed murder.

I thought when police shoot a woman like this even in the performance of their duties we are supposed to riot and burn all the city’s?

Oh that’s other people.

Didn’t the Congressman look at the video? The unarmed victim was standing on the other side of the locked door surrounded by at least a half-dozen Capitol Police. None of them thought she was an imminent danger and none of them shot her!. This guy is worse than a RINO. He’s a complete moron!

This whole episode has demonstrated just how out of touch and cowardly our representatives are. They were literally scared to death. Cowards all.

Yet they stood by and did nothing when small business owners legitimately fearing for their safety as armed thug Antifa rioters marched thru their town and set their businesses on fire. Politicians are truly out of touch elitist scum.

If you were there Mullin, then what did you do?

You were elected to show some guts.

What did you do?

Chickenshit.

Nothing but chickenshit in Washington.

Not one damn politician had the guts to do the right thing and stand there and listen to the grievances of American citizens.

Go back to your hole Mullin and cower there waiting for your pieces of silver.

Publish the name of that capital police officer. Thousands of Trump supporters would like to show him some choices.

The officer obviously had a choice that is an absurd statement.

This is total BS.

They are trained not to take that shot.

Cold. Blooded. Murder.

That’s exactly what it was. Prove me wrong. Show me a single burn loot murder crowd member that did the same thing and got shot. You can’t because it did not happen.

he didn't have a choice at that time,"

Shooting her amounted to firing into a crowd.

Put him on trial.

She wasn’t trying to attack the shooter? So if he had to shoot, why not the knee? He shot to kill.

Conservative blood is very cheap there is no indication that crowd was a physical threat to anyone. I don’t believe they should be in the building without permission and I believe they should have been forcefully removed but killing a woman when there is no weapon and no physical threat? Furthermore I really have to emphasise that the video shows heavily armed police officers in the company of the protesters the moment she was shot. What kind of ridiculous decision was this?

Sounds like this slimeball was there. Does he have a habit of wearing French cuffs?
