It has been pretty well documented that Capitol police allowed many protesters to enter the building.  Were there some bad actors around that day?  Certainly, but the vast majority were peaceful, not armed and not destructive.

The woman who was shot was not posing an immediate threat.  She was not armed.  There is no justification for using deadly force in that situation period.

Ask yourself this.  Why has the identity of the shooter been silenced in the media?  Why not the scrutiny that every other police officer involved in using deadly force has to go through?

She was scaling a barrier after being told to get down. Like the other people at the insurrection who were looting, trespassing and destroying property (just like ANTIFA and BLM have done in the past), she was breaking the law. She was trying to get at the cops and presumably attack. There was a definite threat and she got what she deserved. 

The entire thing was caught on video and the vast majority of people think it was a good shooting, so why bother releasing the name of the shooter? The people at the insurrection were obviously out of control, so why put that guy's name out there, so a bunch of "yahoos" will put a target on his back?

There was also a squad of well armed and trained cops or military coming up the steps right behind her.

I wish there was a real investigation into it because the there a ton of questions that need to be answered. There are even people saying she isn't dead and may have been a plant. I don't believe all that but the videos do bring up some interesting things about the antifa members there around her and leading her to that point.
