Trump Supporters Gathering in D.C. - Mayor Readies for Those ‘Seeking Confrontation’

She advanced into a building. How do you know her intentions to "advance on the officer"?
Intelligence has to tell you that ignoring an officer and advancing toward an area full of Congessmen and Senators makes your intentions irrelevant whether they’re noble or bad. Nobody cares at that point.
 
Because she was going forward through the window and he was in front of her.

Is he supposed to wait and have a conversation? How long?
You seem to take an objective perspective based on the video. Seems stretchy to equate his occupation of a space and her advancing on said space with advancing on him.

Admittedly I'm not following close enough to know her history, state of mind, armed/unarmed, level of threat, etc.

Just seemed odd to definitively assess her intentions.

Oh she was just going to sit up there perched like a bird and squawk and him?

Well, that changes everything. I'm going to go rethink my entire stance now

As she is coming through the small door window, grab her by the collar and bring her to the ground, hold her with a pistol to the back of her neck until CP arrive to take her to jail. Problem solved. No one dies.

Ok, advancing toward him, his unholstered firearm and those he's protecting with that firearm thru a busted window to get around a barricaded door. All this being done without knowing the intent of this protesting mob behind her
 
Per Politifact:

"But the viral, 14-second video clip that some are using to claim that officers willingly let rioters past barricades and into the Capitol is being misrepresented online, said journalist Marcus Diapola, who shot the video.

"They definitely didn't just open the barriers," Diapola told PolitiFact. "The pro-Trump rioters made a fist like they were going to punch the cops, which is why I started recording. Then (police) backed off the barricades.

"They were completely outnumbered," Diapola said. "There wouldn't have been any point in fighting."

Diapola said the video was taken around 2 p.m. near the northeast entrance of the Capitol and estimated that the officers were outnumbered "100 to 1," with only around 30 officers spread out between three entrances on that side of the Capitol, compared with thousands of protesters."
Any explanation or background of the video where the officer waves them past the open barrier with a hand motion?

And also do that to all the people who follow her thru? What happens when enough get in to remove the barricade and open the doors?
 
For the attention and blowback we are seeing. I fully believe that this was planned to give the incoming administration/house/senate ammunition to enact something Patriot Act 2.0ish but it got out of hand.
Trump planned it.

What was she going to do, kill that wussy of an agent with her bare hands?

Don't be ignorant...you pin the first one and hold the gun to her head. Her friends will not advance. There were other agents that were 10 feet away.
 
No he didn't. He's too dumb to plan something like this, remember...
Inside Trump supporters’ online echo chambers, the chaos of Jan. 6 could be seen coming. People posted their plans to come to Washington — and showed the weapons they would carry.
 
If you advance towards a cop and they have their weapon drawn it's a high likelihood you're going to get shot. She was stupid and I think the officer overreacted.

My point exactly...but, she was strugling to get through the small top half of the door. Easily taken down with no shots fired.

If you want to use that standard then Harris and numerous other Dem politicians are guilty of planning a lot of the BLM riots this summer.

I'm not sure if you even saw the right video.

The cop advanced on her.

And if you really want to get into this "don't know the intentions of the mob behind her, there was an entire tac team in that lobby with the protestors. Wouldn't it be safe to say they would have had a far better perspective on the intent of the crowd than some trigger happy cop?
