I read this earlier and I completely disagree with the premise thaat Ashli thru the door would have stampeded the crowd.
The author fails to acknowledge that
a) there were officers in front of the door before Ashli got there and they moved out because
b) 4 or more additional officers with riot gear moved up the stairwell towards the door to relieve the officers moving out, and
c) within a minute or so, the additional officers would have had command of the door, and
d) the brandishing of a weapon to an intelligent person would have stopped that person and we cannot argue that Ashli was below intellect, being an intel officer of rank
the author tries hard but it’s a big fail
>> 4 or more additional officers with riot gear moved up the stairwell towards the door
One was seriously cross-eyed.
