I've been in riots before becoming a cop and afterward. But this situation is beyond my anecdotal experiences. I will say that unless there was something not in range of the video that could conceivably have justified it, the use of lethal force was way out of bounds. You use your body, your baton, your chemical sprays, but unless you or someone else's life is in certain risk, you don't even pull your gun in a crowd like that, let alone use it. I didn't see anything that supported what that cop did.
This is horribly inaccurate.
Just off the top of my head without writing anything down.
1) claims it痴 a Glock 45
覧 the video quality is nowhere near good enough to deduce this. How could did they come to this conclusion
2) a .45 knocks you down and back
覧- FALSE
3) he pointed the gun down the hall.
覧- that is not what the video seems to show. He steps forward and engages her. She appears to be directly opposite him within maybe a yard and a half.
4) she was shot in the neck where is the blood?
覧- do we know she was shot in the neck? I have read neck and chest. What type of round was it? Was it JHP? Probably. If so, and in the chest it would expand, a lot of bleeding would be internal.
I recommend you give a listen to my Congresscritter Mike Bost in his interview on WJPF this morning. In it, he discusses why he and other members of Congress opposed voting to certify the results of the Electoral College. He laid out the Constitutional basis for the opposition in that state LEGISLATURES are responsible for enacting laws within the parameters of the Constitution for national elections, not governors, not secretaries of state, and not local election authorities. Bost asserted, and accurately, that five states ignored their existing legislation and resorted to executive fiat by their governors, secretaries of state, or local election authorities to proceed.
He also deplored the takeover of the Capitol. Altogether, one of the best lessons in civics I have heard.

Thanks for the insight. I have never dealt with guns so I couldn't have known.
Over there at the CTH, an article highlights a wide-scale Big Social Media purge in the aftermath of the Capitol Storming: Big Tech Purge Continues, Facebook Bans Walk Away Movement, Reddit Bans Pro-Trump Group, Twitter Purge Ongoing, Biden Labels Trump Supporters "Domestic Terrorists" - The Last RefugeThe Last Refuge
It's not hard to see where this will lead, eventually. I really hope Trump has some aces up his sleeve. Surely he's not going to just let Biden/Harris have the presidency?
