Just watched a different video of what occurred before the shooting. There were three Capitol Police officers standing in front of the double-doors, behind which the shooter was on the left-hand side. There were several civilians milling about in front of the police. Ashli Babbitt is seen in that crowd, yelling at the police, then she moves away.

There are a couple of agitators, who are seen reaching over the cop's shoulders and banging the windows. They are already cracked, but still intact. One guy with glasses, wearing a black T-shirt with the red letters that say Pirelli's, on a yellow background, and also wearing what is described as a Fargo hat (Kodiak cap), one with the flaps that come down over the ears. He has a helmet in his hand and is smashing the glass in the doors with it, walking back and forth in front of the cops, while hitting the windows over their shoulders as he walks.

Now why that would even be allowed to happen is beyond me. They are damaging property, and not one of those cops is taking action to stop them. After a very short while, all three cops move away from the doors, and these same guys continue to smash the windows. Now why did those cops move away from the doors? They were there to prevent anyone from gaining entry. As soon as they move away from the area, you can see the agent/cop who has been standing on the left behind the door, slowing come out, and then Babbitt is shot right afterwards. This stinks to high heavens to me. Why did those cops leave? It makes no sense. Was it done deliberately so that the shooter would have a clear shot to hit one of the people on the other side of the door? All the while the cops are standing in front of the doors, and the individuals are smashing the windows over the shoulders of the cops, the shooter is off to the left, and you can see his arms extended with his weapon drawn, in the position to fire.

Good analysis. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of people (even here) to lazy to analyze evidence on their own, and will believe whatever CNN tells them.

Later in the video, he's seen retreating behind a line of police on a stairwell and then pulling out (presumably) new clothes from his backpack without any concern about the police in front of him.

I agree. The three ‘cops’ all wore different types of attire, they had “deer in the headlights” expressions and seemed to be playing a role waiting for a cue and deserted their post shortly before the arrival of reinforcements. None of the ‘officers’ appeared to be genuinely concerned about the woman and the activity in general doesn't reflect the kind of anxious urgency civilized people exhibit when someone is fatally injured. The only woman I say in the pack looked a lot scruffier that someone who spent a decade in the military and was running a business in California. It smells to high heaven in my opinion.
