CHESTER, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A retired firefighter from Chester,
Pennsylvania is accused of being the man seen on video throwing a fire
extinguisher that hit three police officers at the Capitol during the
riot in Washington, D.C. last week.

Robert Sanford, 55, was arrested Thursday morning on four federal
charges, including knowingly entering a restricted building, disorderly
conduct on Capitol grounds, civil disorder and assaulting officers
engaging in their official duties.

According to the charging documents, the extinguisher bounced off the
heads of three officers, two of whom wore helmets.

Sanford, 55, traveled by bus with other people to the Capitol, according
to documents. He told a friend when he returned home that he had been on
the grounds for 10 minutes before leaving but did not mention throwing
anything at officers, authorities said.

Sanford was identified after a longtime friend of his contacted the FBI
in Pennsylvania and said they recognized Sanford from photos put out by
the FBI.

The fire extinguisher struck several police officers during the US
Capitol riot.

The friend said Sanford "had gone to the White House and listened to
President Donald J. Trump's speech and then had followed the President's
instructions and gone to the Capitol."

Sanford appeared in a federal court in Pennsylvania for an initial
appearance on Thursday afternoon. He was denied release and will remain
in custody of the U.S. Marshals until he is transferred to Washington, D.C.

The defense argued Sanford was not a flight risk or a danger to the
community, noting that he has no prior arrests, is married, and has
three children.

The defense added that allegations that he traveled to D.C. to commit
crimes are inaccurate and he is not part of any extremist groups.

Prosecutors challenged that claim, saying authorities found a t-shirt
associated with the far-right group Proud Boys at Sanford's home after
executing a search warrant.



Maybe he thought his life was in danger. Capital cops shooting protesters,
just because they were protesting.


If that is what you really think, you are even dumber than I had
envisioned. Peaceful protesting is perfectly legal outside the Capitol
building. That's not where he was and not what he was doing.


And even in riot situations, the cops are not allowed to shoot looters and
trespassers. So because they are in the Capital building, uninvited, they
are allowed to be murdered?

===

Being shot by an armed guard who is being paid to protect members of
congress is not exactly murder. And being "uninvited" is not exactly
the same as being at the front of an unruly mob trying to break down a
locked door leading to a congressional chamber.


What do you suppose would have happened to a gang of thugs who crashed
the gates around the White House, smashed into the White House, and were
running through the halls looking to kill the POTUS? What happened at
the Capitol was no different than that.



Bull****.


As usual, you are wrong.

§ 1047.7 Use of deadly force.

(a) A protective force officer is authorized to use deadly force only
when one or more of the following circumstances exists:

(1) Self-Defense. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary
to protect a protective force officer who reasonably believes himself or
herself to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.

(2) Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably
appears to be necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense
against a person(s) in circumstances presenting an imminent danger of
death or serious bodily harm.

There are other conditions, but the above two apply to the overrunning
of the Capitol. Oh, there is no requirement to fire warning shots.
