(11,613 posts)Evidently there was a discrepancy in how the two groups of officers treated the situation. On one side they fought and on the other not so much.

(3,282 posts)I think that was a mix of Capitol Police and DC Metro.
That kind of force was needed at other entrances as well.

Nobody... no no no Tessio's men, no detectives, nobody. Papa's all alone.

(1,522 posts)They need to be rooted out and prosecuted for Felony Murder of one of their own.
On the same thread you have 4 officers with only batons trying to defend a door way with one of the mob using a flag pole as a spear, and you have this SoB "officer" ushering the Murder Mob forward.
Edit to add that I hope all of these videos are being forwarded to the DC police and FBI!
