Honestly what do you think happens when you break into the Capitol building with a mob looking for politicians? You cant be in a group breaking down multiple barricades, smashing windows/doors, assaulting officers and expect a happy ending. Mace/pepper spray went out the window when the first line of police was broken through.
Police could physically restrain a woman that tiny. There's no excuse to shoot her in such an instance as a first choice of action.
She was crawling through a window, just like everyone else that entered congress.
It's disgusting how some of you people here are trying to justify a clearly senseless action, yet will give fair weight to discussing typical police shootings in far more clear cut cases.
This wasn't a woman jumping the fence at the white house, and even then, they usually restrain the perp, not execute them. Please take note to remember this, as many are comparing it.
