Im surprized only one got shot.
You would think the law would have opened up on a mob trying to get in and hang Mike Pence.
Like the National Guard did in Ohio.

if I mischaracterized your take on Rittenhouse, I stand corrected.

You didn't

Boco has a point. Why didn't more officers fire?

You didn't

in the videos I've seen, the police inside the Capitol didn't seem overly concerned. some were talking calmly to the "rioters", others opened doors for them...

I guess you missed all of the videos of rioting idiots fighting the cops.

They're readily available.

For those that don't want to read:
Lt. Byrd later confessed that he shot Ashli before seeing her hands or assessing her intentions or even identifying her as female. Ashli was unarmed. Her hands were up in the air, empty, and in plain view of Lt. Byrd and other officers in the lobby.”
Lt. Byrd, who was not in uniform, did not identify himself as a police officer or otherwise make his presence known to Babbitt. He did not give her any warnings or commands before slaying her.
Lt. Byrd’s police powers had been revoked prior to this incident, “for failing to meet or complete semiannual firearms qualification requirements.
Lt. Byrd’s police powers also were revoked for a prior off-duty shooting into a stolen, moving vehicle in which the occupants were teenagers or juveniles. The stolen vehicle was Lt. Byrd’s own car. He fired multiple shots at the fleeing vehicle in a suburban area. Stray bullets from Lt. Byrd’s firearm struck the sides of homes nearby. An official investigation found that Lt. Byrd’s use of force was not justified, Judicial Watch says in the lawsuit. Therefore, Capitol Police should have known he was not suited for the assignment of being the incident commander.

Pretty sad situation.

Byrd was never really investigated or even interviewed" according to some reports" so I wonder if he could still be charged with murder?

I doubt if that lawsuit will go anywhere.
The cop that killed her will be looked upon by the lawmakers as the guy that single handedly stopped a mob bent on hanging Mike Pence and doing harm to others.Basically a hero who saved a lot of people from potential harm.Sort of like the kid that stopped the mob in Kenosha by shooting a couple rioters.
It is weird though that the one killing stopped the entire mob,you would think something like that would have motivated them to rally and double down on their mission.
Very strange.
