He is indeed a hero. Had he not thought and acted so quickly to lead the mob away from the chambers, many more people would have died that day. He gave them time to flee.
While I agree I’m beginning to wonder if our democracy might be better off if he had let the mob have a few of the congress members I have several dozen republicans in mind 🤷♀️🤔
maybe not maybe if one of those fuckers got hurt Trump would've been held fucking accountable and we wouldn't have to deal with this incoming Nazi bullshit
Please don't just share on this forum. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell someone in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
The history of Jan 6 will spin him as a out of control cop who stomped on the rights of peaceful Americans who came to tour the Capitol Buiilding 4 yrs ago
Then I thought they were all so far away from him...NOPE!! This beast of a man is huge! Talk about a wall around the Capitol. Thank you, Mr. Goodman. You deserved better.
Yep as well at all those that fought to preserve our democracy. That put themselves in the way- as we watched on TV. I say-"Hug them when you see them!" Let them know- we do, have their backs and it's our turn to do our part. #GoldStarDad
Sorry but he has been greatly dishonored by our current admin not holding the leader of the insurrection accountable. To make matters worse they have surrendered our entire country to him, his sacrifice was made in vain, we are all being sacrificed now #shame
The Capitol Police risked their lives to keep Congress members safe. And they thanked Capitol Police by seating every single seditious member, involved in the Capitol riot! @schiff.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
This is the guy who used his dark complexion as bait to lure the J6 mob away from the people they came to attack -- put himself in harm's way to save others
So, Trump wants to pardon the rioters. But I thought some of his side were trying to say at the time it was BLM and Antifa causing the trouble, not righteous MAGAists?? So their Glorious Leader wants to pardon BLM/Antifa???!!!???!!!???
He should have been awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom!
On February 12, 2021, the Senate adopted a resolution awarding Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal, a resolution that died in the 117th Congress and never passed the House of Representatives.
They should thank him everyday that they continue to downplay a violent insurrection - if not for him maybe they would not still be in office they would be dead JS
History will remember Goodman as a brave and dedicated officer who ran *towards* the mob and protected the lives of ALL Congresspeople, regardless of party.
The fact that the GOP disregards Goodman and the 100s of officers who protected them is abhorrent.
That’s what a real First Responder does…we run in when everyone runs out…Officer Eugene Goodman did that and protected those in his charge…Ofc. Goodman is an American Treasure! Thank You For Your Service Sir! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
yes..... One of the most iconic photos ever.
Eugene Goodman.
I mean FFS, he had not a clue what this out of control mob of TRAITORS might have done to him , yet he stood there.
They need to erect a monument at the Capitol to commemorate, in perpetuity, the bravery & courage of the Capitol Police who faced overwhelming numbers of insurrectionists in their efforts to stop them from succeeding in their coup attempt!
When I first saw the crowd chasing him, I thought 'Shit, they're going to lynch him.' Then I found out he was playing them to lead them away from the Senate Chamber door.
So true! One of my fears is the removal of anyone and everyone who won’t bow to trump/the crazy crew. They want to get rid of anyone like Eugene Goodman.
Time's "Person of the Year" is not an honorific title.
It acknowledges the person who "most influenced events in the preceding year" whether in a good or bad way.

#Trump
This is the epitome a black man in America. Wants to try to work with the system and even uphold some of the laws, white people can't handle it. Barack Obama serves as one of the best presidents, they give us Hitler next
There should be a statue of him in the office of every elected official to remind them that spinal cords (spine connecting to brain) do in fact exist. And should be used.
Retired LEO and current arson investigator for the state that I live in…Eugene Goodman is an American Treasure. We should all aspire to be like him! Thank you Sir for your service!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Put a statue of Eugene in this pose in this doorway so Senators have to go past him every day. He saved many lives and saved democracy at the time. But, alas, America voted for the traitor and felon. Up with Eugene! Down with Trump!
He’s a rock star! And man he flew up those stairs leaving those asshats in the dust! And the flip-floppy GOP Sens he saved, so quickly forgot his efforts!

He literally prevented injuries or even death to the Republican lawmakers who have no interest whatsoever in recognizing those like Eugene. This is disgraceful.
Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't seen him out on the media circuit much like the others. Not to diminish their heroic acts, I always felt this guy was not receiving the recognition he so richly deserved.
One thing about the Jan 6 police respondents is that, more or less by happenstance, we know some things about a few of them & their actions.
We know nothing about most of the other officers, including the +100 who were injured in the line of duty, except that they stood together & held their fire.
That's when u know we, as a nation, are on the wrong side of history. He and his family should be set for life after something like that. Not having to hide cuz the MAGA infestation runs too deep 8n this country.
Officer Eugene Goodman is a great, great man and deserved to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Shame on the 117th Congress for not passing the resolution. Such a betrayal for the Repubs to deny and minimize the tragedy of Jan 6th;They don't deserve his valor.

Why didn't this happen because of course he should be celebrated...
Seldom one gets to see heroism in action.
Officer Goodman is a hero.
But I do agree with you

Should be. He lived up to his last name.

Goodman is the very definition of a hero.

Celebrate every January 6th.
Respect his request for privacy after such service to the country.
What guts! What a guy!

How does that work?
What I said still stands
With trump
POC = bad
White = good
Resilient. Resolute. Responsible. Freakin' A+ from Eugene. I can only hope that in a similar circumstance, I could do my best.
