Well for one, they murdered an unarmed woman today. We've heard all year from the Democrats and the mainstream media how property destruction and trespassing isn't worthy of a death sentence. So there's that.

A) It may not have been the Capitol Police, there is some speculation that it may have actually been the Secret Service > A witness described the shooting incident to WUSA-9, saying: “We had stormed into the chambers inside. And there was a young lady who rushed through the windows. A number of police and Secret Service were saying get back, get down, get out of the way. She didn’t heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull them back, they shot her in the neck.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/video-timeline-capitol-breach/?itid=hp-top-table-main-0106 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/vid... B) While she may have been unarmed, the people that shot her could not be certain of that. Multiple firearms (including concealed ones) were confiscated from the intruders. C) She wasn't standing there passively, she was trying to jump through a door as the vanguard for the mob. https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/ks12mn/another_viewpoint_of_the_woman_who_was_shot/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/ks12mn/anot... D) Time will tell whether or not the shooting was justified, but it obviously wasn't a matter of protecting property. They were trying to protect the members of Congress, staffers, media, Vice President, and other people in their care from a violent mob. Edit: added source to support possible Secret Service involvement

  E) She didn't have the right skin color for it to be an outrage.

That was a justified shooting. With an armed and shouting crowd right there at the chambers, the consequences of rushing over the final barricade towards the men with guns were pretty predictable. I’m surprised they only shot once. In such a tense situation, I don’t believe I personally would have such restraint.
