It was a protest.  Nothing more and nothing less.  There were bad actors on both sides that took it too far, but it wasn't by any means an "insurrection".

I watched it unfold live on television while flipping through various news channels.  All that I saw were a lot of people carrying flags and pro-Trump signs.

The footage of the officer that murdered Ashley Babbitt shows no clear threat.  She may have broken through a barrier, but a woman her size was no clear threat other than being pissed off.  She was un-armed.

Yea alone she poses no threat... The fact of the matter here is that she wasn't alone. She had hundreds of people behind her that were about to follow her right through that hole. Is the cop just suppose to assume that all of those people, who had just spent their time breaking through a damn barricade, are going to just politely walk right past him and leave him alone? Highly unlikely and it would be stupid of him to take that risk.

He acted and neutralized the possible threat/advancement of that mob. You notice how nobody else tried to stick their dumb [BLEEP] heads through that window afterwards? Yea, because he shut that [BLEEP] down real fast, just like he had every right to.

That fact that politics and main stream media have warped so many people's minds, like yours and so many others on issues like this, is honestly sickening, pathetic and really sad to see.
