Eugene Goodman - Hero

 So much has been said about the (quote/unquote) “terrified” brother who ran away from the mob last week. He is USCP Officer Eugene Goodman, and I challenge us to give his actions a second look. In the most ironic but very powerful reality, Goodman’s quick thinking may have saved members of the United States Senate from the hands of the insurrectionist mob. Not only did he not deploy his service weapon (which it appears he had on his hip the whole time), a look at the second slide shows that he deceptively lead them away from the entrance to the Senate floor (which is literally just between the wooden chairs he’s glancing at) where members were and up toward the rotunda where there were other officers who arrived just as he lead them up there.

Goodman also served in the US Army, including a deployment overseas in Iraq so he clearly knew how to use deadly force. His quick thinking gave senate members more time to seek cover. We all know if the roles were reversed, things would have been totally different. Let’s give this brother the second look at the situation he deserves.
