Just thought I'd give a shout-out to United States Capitol police officer Eugene Goodman...who was responsible for potentially saving the lives of numerous people during the MAGA terrorist attack in Washington, D.C., on January 6. As seen in the Twitter video that I shared at the bottom of this Blog entry, Officer Goodman intentionally lured a group of Trump-supporting rioters away from a hallway bearing the entrance to the Senate chamber (where Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly presided during that time). What makes Goodman's deeds so heroic is that he's an African-American officer confronting a mob of white supremacists bent on hurting (and possibly killing) countless of people last Wednesday. The fact that he would risk his life like this is why Goodman needs to be recognized for his brave actions as soon as possible.
If President-elect Joe Biden or Vice President-elect Kamala Harris manage to read this entry (or my own tweet that's also posted below), let it be known that Officer Goodman should be one of the very first recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom during the Biden Administration. Happy Sunday.
Officer Eugene Goodman insulted and poked the Capitol building terrorists, so they’d chase him instead of entering the Senate chamber. He’s Black and he did this knowing they were white supremacists. Made himself live bait. He deserves all the awards:
