One of the very few uplifting clips in a day filled with shameful examples, it shows Officer Goodman, completely alone, as he faces down the seething crowd. Hopelessly outnumbered, he begins to slowly retreat, stooping to pick up his only armament — a baton — as he carefully backs away.
As he sprints up the stairs he stops and turns to face the pursuing invaders at each landing, ensuring they don't break into a stampede behind him, buying valuable seconds for those he is protecting, all while radioing for back-up that seems an age in coming. Goodman's quick thinking is evident when he reaches the second floor landing and throws a glance at the Senate Chamber door, which he realizes is unguarded; instead of backing past it and putting the rioters on a possible collision course with members of Congress, he gives the lead protester a small shove to keep his concentration on him, thus drawing the crowd up another set of stairs, where he is finally met with some reinforcements.
"Inside the Senate, the evacuation was not complete. If the rioters had breached that door, they would've found themselves face-to-face with Senate leaders. Bloodshed would have been a definite possibility," the petition claims.

TooFab That dude fled and led the angry mob right to the Senate chambers 😂. He was their guide through the building 😂. All they had to do was chase and follow him 😂. The only honor he should get is one calling him the Capital Coward 😂.
