      He led them up the wrong way. Away from the unsealed Senate door. I’ve seen this video. Will add if I find it.https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1348122699843981312 …

      Looking again at the video I took of the mob storming the Senate, there’s a moment when the lead rioter looks right for a second, before continuing to follow the officer left, away from the immediate entrance to the Senate. This happened at 2:14. pic.twitter.com/8oetsPvhIb

          The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way. pic.twitter.com/EPmOvDGEEP

          Senate door was sealed at 2:16p. All this happened at 2:14-2:15p. The police officer, who is black, led that all white mob away from the unsealed Senate door by deliberately shoving the lead guy and then retreating in the wrong direction, away from the Senate, as they chased him.

          wow.. if he did it intentionally he deserves a medal.. even though he deserves a medal for the job he did but by doing this he probably saved lives or help avoid a disaster..

          Did he piss of the unruly mob to literally lure them away from the open Senate chambers? If so: my god, how close we came and what a brave action

          Apparently he pushed the lead guy and that got them riled up and they chased him.
