Thread: Attack at the US Capitol. One police officer dead.

(CNN)One US Capitol Police officer has died and another is injured after a suspect rammed a vehicle into a police barricade outside the Capitol building Friday afternoon, acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told reporters.


Pittman said the suspect in the attack has also died. The suspect was not on the radar of the US Capitol Police before the attack, but the attack does not appear to be terrorism-related, police said in an afternoon briefing.


Pittman added that the scene is still being processed, and the investigation is ongoing. The DC Metropolitan Police said there is no indication of an ongoing threat. Pittman said she will not release the name of the officer until the officer's family is notified.

Suspect who smashed into barrier at US Capitol identified as Noah Green

The driver who killed a US Capitol cop before he was gunned down by police is a Nation of Islam devotee from Indiana, according to reports and his social media.


Noah Green, 25, who may have been living in Virginia, described himself as a “Follower of Farrakhan” on his Facebook page, in reference to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.


Green appeared to have come on hard times from his Facebook page reviewed by The Post before his account was taken down.


“I was on the right track and everything I had planned was coming into existence. It required long hours, lots of studying, and exercise to keep me balanced while experiencing an array of concerning symptoms along the path (I believe to be side effects of drugs I was intaking unknowingly),” he wrote on March 17, signing the message Brother Noah X.

“However, the path has been thwarted, as Allah (God) has chosen me for other things. Throughout life I have set goals, attained them, set higher ones, and then been required to sacrifice those things,” he continued.


His Facebook posts were first reported by MSNBC, which read them on-air.

Green allegedly slammed into a fence outside the US Capitol just after 1 p.m. Friday and struck two officers before crashing into a barricade.

Green allegedly got out of the car with a knife and lunged at an officer before being fatally shot, reports say.

One of the officers, 18-year veteran William Evans, died at the hospital. The other officer is being treated at an area hospital.

"the video and audio recordings are clear: Floyd, at six-foot, four-inches and 223 pounds (according to the autopsy report), was so determined not to be placed in the back of the squad car that, even though he was handcuffed, four grown men — police officers trained in the use of force, and pushing and pulling for all they were worth — could not get him to take a seated position. "

I would call that resisting arrest.

"What’s more, it was not the idea of the arresting officers to place Floyd in a prone position on the street. Rather, after propelling his way out of the squad-car rear seat that four cops unsuccessfully struggled to place him in, Floyd insisted that he preferred to lie down on the street. The police restrained him in the position in which he put himself, which was not the position they wanted him in (they wanted him in the car). Reasonably convinced that Floyd was high on drugs (a conclusion supported by his erratic behavior, the accounts of witnesses, and later toxicology tests), the police called for paramedics to take him to a hospital, rather than continuing to try to thrust him in the squad car and take him into police custody. "

Powerful Evidence That George Floyd Resisted Arrest | National Review

The cops thought he was on drugs, and toxicology confirmed that he was. the wanted him in the car , but he did not want to go in the car, Unless you are of the position that the cops should ask perpetrators where they want to go , and comply with their wishes, I would say , he was still resisting arrest. Further more they thought he was on drugs and dangerous if previous behaviousre would suggest probable future performance.
Was the cop overly aggressive perhaps. Have you been in a scuffle? were you perfectly relaxed afterwards? if you were you are a better man than me.

They are. But these cases are all used as ammo in politics. If this was some white guy with a camo hat on, the other side would be rubbing it in left right and center.

But us on the right wing don't do that. As seen on this thread

.

Yes. And this has been addressed. The reason that the data looks like that is because of :

Under the U.S. Census definition and U.S. federal agency, individuals with ancestry from North Africa are considered white. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations also explicitly define white as "original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East."

The 2000 U.S. census states that racial categories "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country. They do not conform to any biological, anthropological or genetic criteria."^[4] It defines "white people" as "people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.^[5] The Federal Bureau of Investigation uses the same definition.


So the raft of terror incidents done by people of this ancestry goes into the database as terrorism commited by white people.

Who are white supremacists, not "white people", committing acts of violence against non-white citizens and those opposed to racism. White people are not necessarily white supremacists. How far did you get in school again?

Like these white supremacists from Northern Africa or the Middle East?
