Not being a dick but is there legislation that states ' a suspect, offender or intruder has to be warned first' ??. Regardless of best practice policies for warning, what about in the heat of the moment , lol. Cause You just know the fact that the safety of the Nations politicians were at stake and the officer totally feared that imminent harm was about to occur either to him or those he was tasked with protecting will be the response ....
Don't know about DC specifically, but in other states self-defense has both a subjective and objective components. Even if the cop says they were in fear of their life, there is still the objective component that can be argued.
Oh yeah, but then regardless of any of that, any prosecution then still has to overcome 'Qualified immunity' .... Unfortunately dollars to donuts nothing to see here.
The people coming in were not told to leave, they were welcomed in.
Partly correct but Not entirely true, At some point certain doors, exits and egress ways were shut, closed, locked and barricaded - the breaking out the panes of any of those doors, climbing up onto the window frame and then attempting to make your way through said 'closed, locked and barricaded door' into an obviously 'out of bounds area' is and was fcking stupid ....
