Exactly. The officers on the ground made the decision of "lives over property." By falling back and giving access to the invaders, they were able to buy time for lawmakers and staffers to move to safety.

Many congressmen are crediting the Capitol police with saving lives. Meanwhile, one of their own was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.

So they knew the "angry mob" wouldnt take any lives once inside? They said screw our job, we will just let them in because we know they wont kill anyone that way? Our entire Congress was inside the building, but we just let them in to save lives?

My head hurts trying to rationalize that spin.
