Reminder that the rules of engagement for the US army are way more rigorous than those of the police forces and engagements are scrutinized more thoroughly. There should have been warnings until there was no other way to keep the protesters out of the perimeter.
Now that I think about that woman's profile: could it be that this veteran, because of her training, was expecting to hear warnings, didn't and so thought it was safe to keep moving forward ? We'll never know. I have seen the scene and there are other elements I can't explain. We'll never know the whole truth.
It's so sad that people who served their country for years get swallowed in this.
