When a crowd chants "Hang Mike Pence", it would seem that their intent is pretty well established. It would be a stretch to say it was NOT easily ascertainable.
The cops never threw open THAT door. Officer Byrd stood his post and stood his ground and protected the congressmen and VP who were behind the door he stood in front of.
Pence wasn't rushed away by secret service out of the room that this officer so bravely guarded? That sounds far fetched.
I’ll have to read more about firing indiscriminately into crowds as a form for policing. Perhaps what Capital police are taught to do.
