=== Disagreeing On Force (02:01) ===

[00:00:00]  The country is divided 50-50 because I assume that the 80 million who didn't vote are as divided as the 160 million or 150 million that did vote.
[00:00:09]  That's it.
[00:00:10]  That's my assumption.
[00:00:11]  It's a totally logical assumption to make.
[00:00:13]  Okay, thank you, though.
[00:00:15]  Let's go to another person who doesn't fully agree.
[00:00:18]  Stockton, California.
[00:00:19]  Mark, hello.
[00:00:22]  Hi, Dennis.
[00:00:23]  I disagree with your position on that lady trying to enter the Congress room.
[00:00:29]  She was going into a barricaded room to which she had no privilege or authority.
[00:00:35]  Agreed.
[00:00:36]  It was a forcible entry.
[00:00:38]  Agreed.
[00:00:38]  And my point is just two words.
[00:00:41]  Wait, did I say anything different than you did?
[00:00:45]  I thought you were saying that she, that the officer was wrong in using force.
[00:00:52]  That's what it would seem to me.
[00:00:54]  breaking into a room unarmed is not generally met with death.
[00:01:03]  This is a service person.
[00:01:04]  I'm sure she went through boot camp.
[00:01:07]  They teach people about satchel charges.
[00:01:10]  There were pipe bombs around in the place.
[00:01:13]  She had no right to enter that room.
[00:01:16]  She had no right to enter that room.
[00:01:17]  I agree with you.
[00:01:18]  You're not responding to my point.
[00:01:20]  I fully agree with you.
[00:01:21]  She had no right to enter the room.
[00:01:22]  That is entirely accurate.
[00:01:25]  I just don't know if the death penalty is the proper response to entering a room you don't have a right to enter.
[00:01:34]  Well, you know, you have to look at this objectively.
[00:01:36]  You can't just subjectively say in your mind, if you're an officer that has an obligation to protect that room, that you shoot people who enter.
[00:01:45]  Okay, so that's why it is worthy of an investigation.
[00:01:48]  Somebody died doing something wrong.
[00:01:52]  If we killed everybody doing something wrong, there would be very few Americans left.
[00:01:56]  I'm overstating the case, obviously.
[00:01:59]  But she didn't come in armed.
