Imagine this person was breaking into your house and you are in your last stand room.
You have no idea if she is armed, if her buddies are armed or if they have explosives.
Clearly they have breached some pretty strong doors to get there.
Their radios must be blowing up at the violence being committed in the halls of congress.
Congress critters are in the room and they are charged with protecting their lives.
The thugs are now at your door and clearly getting ready to breach.
When are you allowed to defend life? Yours and everyone in the room?

Imagine this person breaking into your house because you just stole something from them more valuable than life itself and they want it back.
F’in child. You I mean.
I know, have been in such situations. The answer is... shoot.

I don’t doubt that there was confusion, fear and the fog of the battle going on. However, I was watching it live streamed on Twitch, and when the crowd gathered outside a door, the police were there. I did not see anyone attacking them, although the crowd was thick and probably pushing forward, but still everything was static. Suddenly, the door is opened somehow. Not sure how that happened, but observing what the streamer saw, it wasn’t a bunch of crazy people smashing things or running. It appeared to be men and women walking the halls, seeming a little incredulous that they had been given access. I didn’t see anyone breaching any barriers, although several got into the empty chamber somehow. I didn’t see anything that indicated the need for lethal force, and in fact some armed uniformed officers in riot gear seemed to be in stand down while others escorted people out - at least that’s the impressions I had from watching it streamed from the crowd. For these type of events, twitch.tv is a good source with a collection of citizen journalists feeding from the scene.
