Again, he wasn't a single officer. There were several officers in the hallway who just moved over to make room for a whole team of heavily armed officers entering the room. Confronting Babbitt as she was trying to come through, and preventing that, would have still left him on his side of the barricade.
No, I'll leave that to those on the left.
They were communicating on the radio. The tactical team was moving to replace the officers at the doorway - who again, were standing there talking to the group in the hall.
The security failures were the issue. And there's clearly an effort from the left to try to shift away from that.
There wouldn’t have been the need for beefed up security if the sex offender hadn’t incited a seditious insurrection and it the insurrectionist MAGATS hadn’t stormed the capitol.
Byrd stated he couldn’t see her hands, meaning he had no way of knowing whether she was armed. In a high-risk situation like that, split-second decisions are critical. Additionally, those other officers were positioned at the base of the stairs, not in immediate range to intervene. What exactly do you think they should have done, shouted from a distance and hoped she complied while a mob surged behind her?
If you don't like deflection, don't keep posting it.
No, the security failures were not the issue.
lol. Her hands were in the window. Perhaps he would have had a better view if he stood up instead of hiding in a corner. A better view of the situation would have certainly given him the opportunity to use better judgement.
The security failure was the issue. Without it, there would be no Jan 6 committee. It would have been at best a civil disturbance, and maybe a few scuffles. Democrats don't want to talk about it, because it's a shared failure of congress. Nor do they want to acknowledge their part in driving up tensions that led to the riot.
Let me know if you have any questions.
The strike was launched by Trump. He directed his terrorist minions to attack. Security could have been overwhelming but that would not have prevented the attack.
You're absolutely right. If I don't know if someone has a weapon, the first thing I should do is move directly in front of [shots fired] oh no, I'm dead.
She was climbing in the window. Hard to handle a weapon while holding yourself up. And yes, moving into a better position to see would have been the appropriate thing to do.
Your posts are deflection and name calling. I'm not interested. Good luck to you.
Great big steaming pile.
Her family gets what they deserve, justice. I hope it is multi-millions or even billions.
Her family deserves nothing.
