Response to your “I’m starting to think some of you don’t have black friends.” I’ve spent a ton of time interacting with cops who are black, who are white, who work in predominantly black neighborhoods. I understand a bit about their feelings and what sets them off. I think you love when white people act badly and look really really hard to find racism.
Other reporting said that Capitol police confirmed that she was killed by an officer and was unarmed, but I can't find it confirmed in a reputable source.
Stop being an idiot, please.
I’m having a hard time understanding that shooting while other anti Americans are sitting in the Speaker’s office, etc.
Probably the crowds in different areas were behaving differently? The crowd in the video above seemed pretty agitated while the crowd with horns guy and desk sitter seemed more like pranksters. I dunno though. I wasn’t there. Just talking out my ass.
I know nothing about police rules of engagement, but I suspect the rules for encountering some slob lounging in a chair in an office are different than the rules for dealing with someone who is actively breaching a barricade that you are presently defending.
My exact impression. I had a hard time viewing this as a coup. Seemed like dim-witted goofballs
I shudder at imagining what realizations that poor woman had as her life drained away. Her last moments on earth were probably singularly depressing.
If I wasn't such a lazy worthless mod, I'd take your posts, Zeke's posts, and Ranger's posts, and get them the hell out of this thread, and move them to a new thread titled, "WE CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE."
And from the perspective of the folks working there it had to be frightening as hell. just so much of the crowd looked like clowns - as Lars noted. What a stupid way to die
The problem with these folks who get a hard-on from playing Colonial Militia is that they don't really believe/understand that live ammo ain't no joke. But this woman was a vet. She served four tours. She should have known better.
My understanding is that the lack of manpower made mass arrests logistically impossible.

Do you want a cookie or something?
The vile visible form of racism is the rarity though. An extreme outlier and a tipping point.,
No cookie needed. Just get a kick out of twerps like you acting like you know your ass from a hole on the ground with what cops do on a day to day basis. Much less your endless racist bs. I trust your experience is very limited
YourYou'retrustassumption, is wrong .....
What if it's chocolate chip? Do you want a cookie, now?
Yummy ....
Too late, already corrected it.
