During the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday, a mob of Trump supporters breached security and entered the building as members of Congress were gathered inside. One officer was seen risking his life to divert an angry mob away from the Senate chamber, leading the group in the opposite direction at a crucial moment when the lawmakers were not yet safely locked down.
Video taken by HuffPost politics reporter Igor Bobic shows a Black Capitol Police officer standing the hallway a few steps ahead of the mob, trying to hold them back, and then heading up a staircase as the men chase after him. "Here's the scary moment when protesters initially got into the building from the first floor and made their way outside Senate chamber," Bobic tweeted when he shared the video in the midst of the chaos Wednesday afternoon.
The mob continues to follow the officer, who is alone, and shout at him as he makes his way to another area of the Capitol, where more law enforcement awaits.
The harrowing video went viral, with nearly 10 million views on Bobic's post as of Monday. The Capitol Police officer has been identified as Eugene Goodman, who is being hailed as a hero for diverting the intimidating mob away from the Senate chamber.
This moment in @igorbobic stunning footage. In front of the officer, coming up the stairs, is a mass of rioters. The USCP officer glances to his left. Between those two chairs is the entrance to the senate floor. He lured them to his right, away from their targets. pic.twitter.com/knjQQ4GZ0d

Goodman is an Army veteran who spent time in Iraq, CBS Washington, D.C. affiliate WUSA reports. While the Capitol Police leadership has been criticized for the security failures, and its chief has resigned, many are praising Goodman for his brave and quick-thinking reaction at a crucial moment in the crisis.
The leader of the mob who chased him, the man seen in the video wearing a QAnon t-shirt, has been identified as Doug Jensen of Iowa. Des Moines police assisted the FBI in arresting Jensen Friday night and he was booked into the Polk County Jail. [Mr Jensen has also lost his job-RG]

Yep, the Capitol Police appears to have done great after the building was breached. Never should have gotten there which was a complete failure of leadership.
Bonus shoutout to the cop who smoked Ashliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . He made sure everyone knew playtime was over.
She was a terrorist who got a terrorist’s death.Ashlii got ed hard.
Anyone have a link to the video?
She KNEW she had a gun pointed at her, and still wanted to be the first through the breach. That is some serious non-thinking.
Which one? Ashlii getting her ass smoked, or Goodman literally saving the day?
Goodman. Already seen the vid of the MAGA a dozen times...
Wasn't he one of Pence's Secret Service?
Haven't heard anything about his ID. Labeled as Capitol Police in press pictures, but I'd believe USSS also. Medal of Freedom for both dudes.

who were the in dark blue and shoulder patches going down the stairs before blonde was wasted? govt or white terrorists?
after she was shot, who was the guy pointing his nasty looking long gun at the open window?
govt shooter should have "I feared for my life" shot him.
She was thinking “they won’t dare shoot a white woman” and boy did they prove her (and me) wrong
thoughts and pr...
nah that brainwashed terrorist kunt
I thought it was secret service who smoked her.
We need more officer Goodman's
I would've used a bag of pork rinds to lead them away
Why would she think that she would be shot for being unarmed and being in The People's Capitol?She was thinking “they won’t dare shoot a white woman” and boy did they prove her (and me) wrong
You're getting dumber by the day.
Why don't you walk into the White House during a riot and see what you get in the People's House?
You can't be this dumb.
Agree. If more would keel over, we could save a lot of money on bloated salaries.
ElPsychopath trying to justify premeditated murder.
lol Apple Valley School of Law is telling me
