U.S. Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman watches never-before-seen security footage of rioters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, during the second day of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021 in the Capitol in Washington. Goodman, who has been lauded as a hero, warned Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the rioters were headed his way. Goodman also directed the mob away from the Senate door and the Chamber, and toward other officers.
The response under fire of Eugene Goodman and other officers during the Jan. 6 attack was central to the arguments made by impeachment managers seeking a conviction against the former president. In the footage, Romney is seen walking toward the rioters until an officer turns him around and he runs in the other direction.was there to get me in the right direction,” Romney told reporters later.
“As we all know now, but for the heroism of Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman and other law enforcement officers who took in a different direction to the police line, they very likely would have gotten here,” said Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, one of the impeachment managers. Other videos shown Wednesday depict officers pushing back in vain against rioters intent on stopping the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump.
HERO RoleModel Grateful
Eugene Goodman deserves a Presidential medal. His coolness under fire, his quick thinking was exemplary. He saved lives.
He has also asked that people stop using his name due to death threats!
It’s sad how the Democratic have us this police officers death as a political statement..When they turned there heads all summer long when police officers have gotten killed , spit on , beaten & many more things
I'll never forget that scene I was watching at home in UK that day I looked at my sister and she said you know what he did then she told me I choked up with tears what a brave man part of the brave force that day Bless them all Ameen 🙏❤️🤛.
Their all lieing about what happened!
SethAbramson And this is why he must be impeached so this does not happen again.
He is hero.
Disgusting creatures they are TheDemocrats
America has so lowered the bar for ascension to heroism.
The impeachment version of this whole incident happened like a screenplay complete with a black officer as the hero. Couldn't have been written better by the New York Times. But sad state of affairs for the people of this nation that has to endure salt to wounds.
Y’all don’t deserve him. Be a better country and do right by Black folks who stay saving your azz.
Give him a medal JoeBiden
Honored his oath and cared for an American senator/citizen. OfficerGoodman “NOT About party, but about integrity honor duty! Blessings to him.
“Goodman” is the absolute aptronym EugeneGoodmanIsAHero Every Republican who expressed overturning the election and helped incite the CapitolRiots does not deserve the honor of being in the same building as this man.
How long time should waiting! We're a legal immigrants DV2021 DV2020 DiversityVisa, So weird to be neglected & suffers while every day have passing we losts many interviews. Would you undertake to make us safe at 7 months ? POTUS VP SecBlinken AliMayorkas CassSunstein
He saved their lives so that they could one day deny that they needed him to.
Since when do we allow perpetrators as jurists?
You can’t convict someone of something other people did. That’s all any of this crap is.
Ginsberg is once again brilliant - on CNN this a.m. but Berman, please zip it...do us a favor - do we need to put Ginsberg with word salad🤫Berman - just can't even....too early
let's one up Senator Romney's ' thank you ' and give Officer Goodman medal of freedom, TIME cover, Peoples sexiest, something other than a simple ' thank you ' Officer Goodman saved the Republic - not Pence ! - what a fine human aka man *many nameless heroes saved Republic
so Pence is receiving accolades for simply - do your f'ing duty - something so simple and the one thing Pence did right all these years if any one human saved ' it ' - and to the Republic for Which it Stands, that'd be Officer Goodman, yes ?
HERO
He was an asset, a hero on that day.
The officer is asking y’all to stop saying his name. Pass it on.
The officers who were injured, and killed should sue these insurrectionist who hurt them, and the Senators who have failed to protect them by refusing to vote to indict. Maybe then they'll do the right thing.
SethAbramson Officer Eugene Goodman was incredibly brave! He lead hordes of white supremacists away from our congress men and women! He has been my hero since I first witnessed his bravery 1/6.
Look at the mob EugeneGoodman faced, alone, as he heroically lured rioters away from senators. 👇This horrifying video shows Donald Trump rioters dragging a police officer down the steps and savagely beating him. Dozens of people appear to be involved.
Meanwhile,most of the GOP Congressmen do not have 1/3 of one of his little toe's worth of his courage, patriotism or job dedication. Thank you, Officer Goodman, it helps a little to know that America had one representative protecting our democracy.
Why did Capital Police open fence to let Antifa into Congress ?
HERO
IndivisibleIL *Americans have released new footage....this should not be partisan.
Thank God for good people. The one’s that do the right thing in the worst circumstances. They are valued and irreplaceable and deserving of so much gratitude! Thank you sir for what you did!
SethAbramson These videos are great to have, but really focus on how Jan 6 could have been more brutal.
A true human being.
Thank you Officer Goodman for protecting our country all your life but most of all on 1/6. You are a hero!
FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY Feb11Coup WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
If he were white oh boy
The thin blue line mask he’s wearing is pretty sweet tbh
Yes Eugene Goodman is a hero! Stop calling the Terrorists rioters. Call them what they are. Terrorists! It was planned, they brought a hangmans gallow, Pre Constructed aka PLANNED by f'n terrorists!!!
clarencehilljr Gotta love black folk
😇 among us
I imagine he is embarrassed by all of this but... he IS a hero
No Lies
SethAbramson 🎖
No he is not, he should have let them attack Mitt, he is a trader
His last name says it all.
SethAbramson Love his heart!
TheHolidayParty Hero!!!! Thanks to Mr Goodman, we honor you Sir!
SethAbramson Is there an officer Goodman fan Twitter feed? I have questions- like how was he everywhere? How long was he running? Can I get a play by play ?
SethAbramson Hero
This man is an angel in the flesh, and I'm not even religious.
SethAbramson Straight up baller ✊🏾
All of officers risked their lives to protect people in the capitol even those participants in the coup. A vote to acquit is a vote to encourage and promote a violent coup in heinous disregard for human life
Now there is a person truly deserving of the Medal of Freedom.
I hope Romney knows BLM now
Black and Women always fighting and save others-
put that guy in charge, seems to be the only one who knew WTF he was doing on that day, SMH
If OfficerGoodman has kids, I’m offering offering him free college counseling for them and for any other students he chooses. This man is a patriot & hero and deserves to be honored as same.
♡
JonLemire A modern day hero!
Why is he wearing a white supremacist symbol in this photo
Will GOP Senators vote to convict or allow a Capitol Police Officer to DIE IN VAIN protecting V.P. Pence from a lynch mob sic'd on the Hill by Trump?
JonLemire “Giving a Police Officer a Medal for Fighting White Supremacy is…White Supremacy”
Thank God for Officer Goodman!!!!
hero
Wow! Uncontrollable radical right wing extremist mobs were really trying to kill elected officials just doing their jobs.
What a great man I would have pointed Romney to the mob
Brian Sicknick, Howard Liebengood (pronounced Lie-been-Good), and Eugene Goodman the same week we lost Patrick Dragon. Creating reality wouldn't be as fun without the mockery. People truly believe WHATEVER they SEE. Critical THINKING has died!!!
