    A lot of Capitol police fought like fucking lions and are responsible for the survival of most of congress.

    But there were also a few collaborators in there, make no mistake.

      That one cop, I’m actually upset I forget the name of, that lead a group away from congressmen by baiting them into a trap will forever be a hero to me.

      I mean acab but this guy still sets a better example than most.

        Dude was black and he just knew that mob would who aggro onto him instead of the representatives because of that. (I mean, they did, didn’t they?)

        Maybe it’s different for Capitol Police, but for most cops being a decoy isn’t a part of their job description. In that moment, he wasn’t acting as a cop. He was acting as a hero.
