Its a tactic we use in the Marines too, Agitate the person to get them to follow you rather than go into an area you don't want them to. That man deserves a medal for this.
Absolute hero ! I just wish his tactic wasn't revealed though !
He’s getting the congressional gold medal
@@marilyno8616 even if they knew about the tactic before hand (and they probably did, you'll be surprised the literature they read for fun) , the effects of adrenaline , tunnel vision, etc are hard to overcome. More than likely , they would still have followed the officer
@@tomservo5007 true, he almost didn't but he glanced down the hallway, didn't see anything interesting and decided to stick with the cop doing the aggro.
Absolutely.. don’t give away your secrets by now people know how the Marines trained 🙏🏻
When you first see the footage you assume the guard is fleeing from the mob but in reality he was in total control of the situation. Genius.
The cop was in on it.

Brilliant thinking
@@rkaiser7767 Would have been better thinking if he'd shoved the guy back and slammed the door before the guy got inside. It was all set up anyway, the cop was in on it they all were the evidence is all coming out now.

I'd bet that at least one person in the crowd following the officer has called someone a sheep before. The irony!

Right? LOL!
Every single one of them have 💯
The majority of that mob* is thinking we’re sheep for not supporting or joining in this act of violence.
"The libtard communists want to take away our freedom, be don't sheeple. Murica!" 😂
When I first saw this I thought oh that poor man he's running away, which wouldn't be unreasonable considering he's outnumbered. But then I realized what he was doing, deflecting the crowd, the man is a hero!
Same thoughts 💭
@@shippys2043 now when I look at it it brings tears to my eyes.
Yes deflecting..... 😂 😂 😂 Is that why they made it all the way into the chambers for selfies and staged photo opportunities?
Me too I agree with you and your comments too
I initially thought this too since other officers were taking selfie’s with the rioters. It’s just extraordinary that the decisions of one person can make or break a situation.
He was playing chess while they were playing checkers 💯

@@anoobiscooking1193 ah yes well played! Got ahead of myself.
@@nerdyparent no worries. Good try though.
The first few times i watched him, I truly thought he was just running away. Now I understand, this man kept his wits about himself and executed his training well. Good job Sir!!!
He probably saved a lot of lives
I feel bad cause I’m like are kidding me
I thought the same even though he was way outnumbered
The first time I saw it I couldn't figure out what he was doing, he was retreating but nothing about his body language signaled fear, he was going out of his way to move slowly enough and antagonize them enough that all of their focus stayed on him. Then I found out that the door he glances at to the left goes to the Senate floor, where all of the members were still in session and vulnerable, and then I understood. Eugene Goodman is an American hero.
The extraordinary thing he achieved is that he lead them and survived without killing someone.
Yes. Funny how so many cops in far less severe situations pull the "but I thought" card or "I feared for my life" card, when they jump to ending someone.
Absolutely he could have very easily fired off two maybe three clips of shots to disable that crowd of rioters but didn't, instead he used non lethal force, he punched the lead guy a couple of times and threatened him many times with his baton without striking him. He would have been equally justified at using deadly force when your being chased by a group of angry white Supremacy supporters.
@@jameschristopherstarnessta6003 if he did they would have attacked him. He was trying to lead them away on purpose.
It's sad in America we have to see it as extraordinary. Compared to most other police forces in the world who do the same with just about every other situation.
Regardless. That man is a hero, thats what policing looks like and i hope he gets proper recognition for it from his superiors.
@@jameschristopherstarnessta6003 Firing would mean his own death as well, makes no sense at all. Not sure he knew there was backup but i guess he was trying to find backup.
He used the Jedi Mind Trick on the weak minded. “These aren’t the chambers you’re looking for.” This man is a Jedi.

He used his anger against him like a game of chess. That’s incredible
Q is not sending their best.
@@medusaspupil I would argue that they have.
40dbelow0 Correct, but in this case the other chess player is awfully predictable (the MAGA crowd) who fall for the same trick every single time. A game of chess is not the metaphor you're looking for. More of a man understanding how to distract a heard of beasts. Well done and the guy deserves all praise. But chess it's not.
Hardly a game of chess, sorry to say. In chess you have a predictable set of moves, these thugs were sheep being led by a smarter sheep as the poster suggested. Good for him, but I see some issues with this whole thing. It look too staged for me. I am not convinced of the reality of this event.

"Easy?" Interesting view.
You should have been around when my son was a toddler if you have the secret to leading them. He’s 25 now and still giving me gray hair.
@@marcilk7534 mine too😣😣😣🤦🤦🤦
I meam just look at them... Trump easily fooled them into thinkin they were doin somethin great🤣🤣🤣 now they look like FOOLS 😂😂
The lead man (now arrested hah among many of these other idiots) reminded me of a puppy. Once that puppy dog got to the top of the stairs he started getting distracted looking at this awe of a place he just entered, and instantly, the cop redirected his short term attention to him with the slight push and instantly that little puppy went right back to following. Absolutely mindblowing.
The push tied the rioter into a personal interaction. The officer played to the guy's macho ego. Great move.
Well said.
When the officer runs up the stairs the clown guy runs after him thinking the officer is afraid of him. The officer stops and so does the guy like the coward he is, and realizes not only was the cop not running out of fear, but the guy gets punked out and pushed by the officer.
@@mobetta2092 It’s a distraction technique, aimed to keep the lead rioter’s attention on the officer as he leads the group into an ambush. Those weren’t hard pushes, but they *were* intended to antagonize.
He was leading them away from the chambers entrance. I’m glad this officer analyzed it because I was tired of ppl saying he was running away. Dude was being strategic
Yes he was brave and brilliant.. and even if he had to retreat... It was 30 to 1!!!
Yep!
Critical thinker in a time of chaos!
Savage & genius
He saved many lives in that senate chamber
GOD bless u Eugene
Running away, that's what a stupid MAGA or Klansman would say. Oops same thing
Even if it he was running a way. He was smart. To do so. Start shooting in a crowd doesn't make sense unless he was being attacked.
The guard walked INTO the chamber entrance. Seriously, wtf video did all of you watch that you didn't see the man walk away from the guard so that the guard had to step in front of him? Or is it that none of you know the definition of 'leading"?
He outsmarted all of them LOL good job! True American Hero.

Bravery would have been to stand his ground and start shooting, which he had every right to do since they were committing an act of criminal trespass on a government building AND to protect the MCs. He chose the more intelligent option of making himself look like a coward so the mob would think they had the upper hand and follow him into the trap that was being set. Which they were stupid enough to do.

If the officer would have engaged he would have only been overwhelmed by the mob. Instead, he was on his radio communicating the situation, and led the mob to a choke point where backup was waiting. One officer controlled an entire mob, not through violence but with behavioral tactics and incredible bravery. This is policing at its finest.
They were THAT close to finding their goal but for his quick thinking & bravery. Dude deserves everything good in this world for diverting these TERRORISTS away.

I agree
If he was a hero he wouldn't be leading rioters into the Capitol Building deeper into a staged live action set-up. Back up was only a couple flights of stairs up it seems. He would've stood ground, wasted some time arguing like they're told to in their handbook which is a stall tactic for back up to get to the scene, and he would've used pepper spray, and had his duty weapon unsecured from it's holster, ready for action, hands on. Police don't retreat, they hold the line. They're mostly brazen idiots with Batman utility belts equipped like wartime soldiers. That small corridor offered the perfect bottleneck to ward off a large group by one heavily armed man at the helm, until those dozen other cops showed up 20 seconds later.

Also an Australian and also appalled at what happened. Also extremely sad to see this Qanon idiocy has spread here.
Yeah they looked so bloodthirsty as they slowly followed him with no weapons and did nothing even after being pushed lol
@@elguapo.1234 Some of the insurrectionists DID have weapons, which is why Office Goodman did not draw his. He knew he was outnumbered by thugs.
Saw this happening from the Netherlands, and I was so scared for him. Especially because he was a black man, and the hooligans were white men that were out of their mind.
It was later that I discovered he did this on purpose.
When I first saw this, i thought the mob would hurt the man, esp he was alone guarding the area. I was so afraid for him. Good thing there was a camera.
He knew they were going to go upstairs. If he had not got out ahead of them they probably would have turned right at the top of the stairs. And that would have been a disaster. They were actually hunting Congressman and women.
after seeing all the violence outside before they even made it to the entrance, yeah, this officer could have been really hurt or killed.
@Chris Kyle legit photos and videos of people with knives, spears, zip ties, I heard some stories about people having concealed weapons, don’t forgot the guy who killed him self by tasing himself in the balls.
Weapons were brought, and they were purposefully on the hunt for politicians
@@ItsJustDoctor They also planted bombs. Conservative nutters have used bombs many times in the past. I can't recall liberals ever planting a single bomb anywhere, ever.
The ball tasing heart attack was a false report. That guy was outside the building talking to his wife on the phone when he dead of a broken heart. The lady who carried a Don't Tread on Me flag and got tramped to death was true.
@Chris Kyle because they would've been shot also. There's no excuse for what trumps supporters did no matter how much you try to rationalize it. The second trumps supporters stormed the US Capitol is when they went from citizens to seditious criminals. They'll always be remembered as that around the world forever.
Looks to me like he led them away from the chambers and straight in to the hands of back up.

Hoping that history will remember this man. He stood tall and strong. Salute to you Officer Goodman.
I'm just glad he's okay I was really worried about him bless his heart!! 😇🙏🙏🙏❤
Yes!
turns out that although he was probably scared - his method was immaculate
@@jesterssketchbook Who wouldn’t be scared if he/she were outnumbered? I would have been a hot mess and peed in my pants! Thank goodness he had kept his cool under duress and led them away from their intended targets.
His last name is "goodman" for a reason folks. 👏
Absolutely!!!!
Please. All he was thinking is "I'm a Black man...if I shoot a White boy in the face...oh lawdy!"
@@ridetillidie8090 It was quick thinking no matter what but l do know what you mean though for sure.
absolutely good
Yes it’s ironic and perverse that the slavemaster he inherited his name from was actually named Goodman.
See how he stands with his legs so far apart? That's the size of his balls he needs to account for.
The amount of sheet terror you'd feel in that situation... Amazing, brave man. Truly heroic.
Give Eugene Goodman a raise and promotion. ASAP, he's a true American hero.
And a former Screaming Eagle.
@Chris D replay the video and listen to the narration.
I'm glad that the good white Americans are realizing that white supremacists and Trump supporters have white privilege. If BLM stormed in the Capitol, they would be dead!
He also deserves PUBLIC recognition.
@Mo Elm wow this officer had a great STRATEGY only 5 loss of life. That's remarkable.
Hero. It takes a lot of courage to stand alone in such a situation. This officer deserves high recognition.
He definitely saved lives that day and needs a medal for that action
What's sad is that you know if that cop tripped and fell that mob would have killed him 😥😪
you cant be serious. they couldve done it without him falling and they didn't.
Oh my god I thought he was scared and running but my man's playing 3d chess over here ♟️
And winning.
I see how brainwashing works on you guys. 🙄
He's leading them just like Nancy Pelosi told him .
And I mean who wouldn’t run it’s like 40 people vs 1 so would you be scared and run or fight them? Right run is the smartest option
@@busterboo8966 what are you talking about?
I've shown this video to my kids, letting them see what a hero looks like.
Lol
@@gregpaul882 sorry buddy, democracy gets the last laugh, not you and your Fuhrer...✌
Really???!
amen.
@@andye2687 Make sure your kids understand how to use a fire extinguisher safely ;)
The guy filming is a hero as well because he documented this when he could have RAN!
the cameraman confuses me a bit. im guessing he was inside the building prior to the breach, possibly some kind of journalist. but it seems like the officer followed the cameraman.
usually in the movies this is the case, but a live "unknown" event. if the camera was from a stationary viewpoint and the police officer was caught in this heroic action.
and all of these "posed" photos going around Is like some of these people wanted to be seen or were meant to be seen (horns guy, etc).
apparently igor bobic is great with a camera and keeping the subject in focus. hats off, thats not an easy task.
good point...not sure hero is warranted......i wonder who was filming??? and why he r she was there???? hmmmm....
AMAZING ISNT IT? ALMOST LIKE ITS ... SCRIPTED
im pretty sure the capitol building is littered with security cameras inside and out. but im sure we will never see those tapes.
could be legit and the person with the camera chose the same path the officer was going to take.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When he’s in front of the Senate entry you can see his body language stand in front of the entry protectively then he realizes the guy looks the opposite way so he sees a chance to deflect from the Senate entry. Very well done sir!
Why the eff didn't he close the first door in the beginning of the video! Ill tell you why, it wasn't on the SCRIPT for this false flag event
@@nikkidenning1097 the kool aid is strong with this one
@@TitleistGuy and your blinders than a bat.
You people have been sofas lighted it's like watching the body snatcher seriously.
@@nikkidenning1097 go cry
He's a brilliant and brave man, he became a decoy. He should be recognised and promoted.
EXACTLY.....You see it.....Some of these yahoo comments. Fugitives from the riot probably...smh.
More than just quick thinking, very smart and strategic. Glad hes on the right team.✔
You don’t see that gentleman getting a medal of freedom.
Officer Goodman earned a promotion, departmental commendations, and likely a presidential medal of Freedom that day. His actions almost certainly saved lives, he's a hero.
@@magusmaximmus2172 Not the Fake ones t'Rump tarnished.
Eugene Goodman. Remember his name. Our future generations will.
Lmao no they won't
@@evergreatest7789 yeah we will. As more information comes out we start to see more and more how close we were to having elected officials like Pence killed.
Not blm when they come next to protest he will be called a traitor like usual
@@MrArron1357 is this the unity the republican’s are currently crying about? Why can’t you just praise and respect this officer?
@@milehighboost5521 Because he wants to use up all the influential evil powers that his white hood still has.
Salute to this brave officer.
The most-aptly named Officer Goodman deserves our ever-lasting gratitude. But who's behind the camera? He stuck it out, too, and recorded this event for posterity!
Amen
Bless this man !
He is literally leading them away from the chamber! Brilliant! Wether is was purposeful or not .
I’d bet he knew exactly what he was doing. Bravo 👏🏻
What? Why tf would you defend the police?
So....nobody asks why was a camera positioned right behind him...set up completely 👎🤔
Literally half the people in the comments are asking that, the cameraman is Igor Bobic a reporter who covers the capitol regularly and was filming the senate vote upstairs when this broke out. He was trying to leave by going down the stairs and ran into this.
@@JohnMeacham you don't really believe that do you?
Eugene"s Goodman Awareness, courage and quick thinking saved the lives of our congressional members. Thank you sir!
He Deserves a Metal of Honor
@John Doe Never know. Could of been a hostage situation with all those zip ties and weapons. But because of him, that didn’t happen.
@John Doe what!!!
@@josiealvarado2296 👍👍
Remember when they used to scream,"WE ARE NOT SHEEPLE!"?
Lol good one
literally herded like cattle by the cop
As they defend their cult...
I remember when you guys were saying all cops are bastards. Pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon. Defund police. Hypocrites.
@@JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist Nope. Never said that. But keep believing everything Q tells you to...baaaa! 😂🐑
Hahahaha.........in a riot situation this guy has his own videographer. You dumb dumbs believe this? His baton is somehow sitting at the bottom of the stairs and these "rioters" are waiting in the doorway for the film to start? Where were all the other rioters? That was just a radom band of 8 of them with no background noise in a place like that where your shoes echo like crazy? Staged folks! Don't be sheep!
Now this officer deserves a medal!
It's these everyday heroes that make America great °~.☆.~°
@Utah Shaw do you even know this person? How do you know they've ever even said that?
That doesn't look to good for trump supporters back the blue but show up in force to beat them senseless is that backing the blue? To the point of killing officers will they think abaut there actions and what they did it was disturbing to watch as they crushed a cop and grabbed there masks with such hatred and intent on killing just disgusting display of treasone
The officer deserves an emmy.
Thank You my Father in Heaven, Thank you my Lord & Savior, King of kings’, for You are going to deploy Heaven’s army all around America & all around the world from Now on; Let there be Heaven’s peace in people of America & in people all around the world from Now on ( Matthew 26v53; 18v11; Gs John 1v51; Acts 12v7; 2 Kings 6v17; )...

@@romanbellic2178 I am not even going to take you seriously. You have a character's name from gta 4, (A white guy,) as a screenname.
Eugene Goodman should be receive the Medal of freedom for saving all their lives in such a brave and selfless act.
Really!
Lol!
Actually that is being considered.
Unfortunately, the medal of freedom has been tarnished over the last few (four) years.
He's received the Congressional Gold Medal
It was jerzy shores true TV, he had to rule them up and follow the camera man, funny how that works. If it was real and they wanted to attack him, would they not have done that?
And how convenient was it that BLM/Antifa members and leaders were magically at every point that there was any violence, but they were just there to record it all lol
He's afraid but was in total control. Amazing composure. Hero!
This Officer deserves the Medal of Honor!!!
It actually was a war situation, but I think you have to be in the military.
@@Nangleator22 thanks for pointing that out-I didn’t know the details-I think he has been given a lot of recognition-which is an honor;)
This man deserves a medal... Named after him!
This just shows how keeping your head and outthinking the enemy can lead to overcoming the odds
White supremacists, Republicans, and Trump supporters have white privilege. They can whatever they want to do. I'm glad that other white Americans are realizing that they have white privilege. If BLM stormed in the Capitol, they would be dead!
@@wooweezymoviestar601 Only racist white liberals think they have white privilege. You think you are better than other races but we all see through your virtue signaling. The greatest threat to people of color are other people of color.... and white liberals. Democrats are domestic terrorists. We remember an entire summer of Democrat domestic terrorism and the Biden/Harris treasonous campaign bailing them out. You know where you can shove your ridiculous comment, right? 🖕
Democrat domestic terrorists are the enemy.
@@mstiph-eye7714 first of all, those were racist Republicans that stormed in the Capitol. Not Democrat. I don't care about Democrat. I'm independent. It's so many Trump supporters and Republicans that think they can take matter in their own hands. If BLM stormed in the Capitol, it would've been a bunch of dead bodies. Most Republicans are not helping African-Americans fight against racism. Why? Because you all don't want to lose your white privilege. I know the truth hurts !
Absolutely amazing. Quick thinking, brilliant strategy - this man is a hero.
Game of Thrones fan's want' Donald Trump, to do the walk of atonement. Leaving the White House. Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!
Wow, led them straight into police backup.
Yep!
Police and back up trap
I mean when its 100 to 1 who in their right mind would try?
Medal of honor for a true hero. Just my thoughts. He kept himself in harms way until others were safe.
He's not military thus cannot receive the medal of honor, he did receive the freedom medal, which is the equivalent for civilians
He definitely diverted their attention and kept them focused on him until he could lead them to his back up. Very smart.
The shove was the key to keep them moving in the direction he wanted them to. Say his name, Eugene Goodman !
Like a cattle prod.
He used wisdom and tactics of a real officer .
Also because he saw a senator go up the steps.
The shove was to get back because I am a few floors to my back up, if I don't see them I'm going to fire this weapon
EUGENE GOODMAN!!!!!!!!!!!🙏🏾🙌🏾
1: u find out who’s leading them
2: u make verbal and contact with him or her
3: u lead he or she followes
4: u get them all in one area and u close the gate ..
Sheep hearding 101 😆😆😆
😂😂😂
My brother worked on a sheep farm once and that sounds about right laugh my butt off
The only thing missing was a big fluffy dog. :)
He recognized them as sheep.
🤔 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
The cop was in on it.
He’s truly an American hero. He deserved that promotion and more.
They would’ve put a beating on them old folks
He saved lives and months recovering from a beating
This explanation is laughable. Yes he was leading them but not in the way they're trying to make you think. They were in cahoots with each other and the cop was leading them INTO the building, not away from the senate room🙄🙄🙄There's TONS of evidence of this but youtube takes the video down every time it gets reloaded. What are they afraid of people knowing😑
He did a great Job, give him a raise and a Promotion.
Defund the police!!!... wait are we still doing that?
@@sawilliams dude tf are you talking about?
@@axelhill8966 U live under a rock like Patrick
@@Mr.Perry33 oh sorry I must have missed that _everyone_ who thinks that Eugene Goodman did damn good job wanted to defund the police
@Kenson King I know that US law enforcement is corrupted and full of mistakes but that's not the point. I just don't understand why ppl start talking about defunding the police when others are simply admiring bravery of Goodman
This man is an unbelievable hero and I hope he is recognized for his quick thinking!
Yes he was very cool.. I know I would have bolted 😬
@@roseybud5722 you and me both! This Officer remained calm during a tense situation.
Now thats a true tough guy. Honestly he could've took out his gun and start shooting but props to him for not choosing too.
He was leading a herd of zombies away is best that I can describe it 😂
Led them right to his backup, very clever and good presence of mind in a situation like that.
Well I guess so, with instructions put out earlier for Congresspeople and police and Antifa to follow. Obviously they are putting on show to look like he's resisting them, for cameras.
@Melon Sauce 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

@@Info255 Lmaoooo you’re so mad you trumpers can’t get away with the bullshit anymore
That's not how congress sees it. They didnt care if hoards were burning small businesses but when duck dynasty gets past all security in THEIR place if business they clutch their pearls and think it's the most seriously dangerous thing ever. Id say its more embarassment. They love being able to exploit it and punish everyone but themselves. A congress that has that lack of manpower for security...not thinking very much. Any foreign operative could have been in that group and set something off. Themselves! Sad day for Congress when they throw everyone under the bus and take zero responsibility. Letting riots happen for 9 months, calling the other side Hitler and such horrible things, what did they really expect. Elite lifers in Congress think they are untouchable and now they realize they are not. The shame Hillary felt when trump beat her should be the same shame Pelosi feels that whats-his-name was kicked up behind her desk and whatever else he did. I will laugh at that for decades. Without fainting in hysteria. Our congress sends our children into war from behind their safe desk, so watching them shaking in fear, it truly was a little bit entertaining. Not condoning it because it was a seriously stupid stunt, for what? A selfie and bragging rights after you get out if prison? They gave their opponent the right to point and say "see, i told you they were violent and shouldnt have guns" so THAT ticks me off. Even though more left shot and killed people in the past 9 months than conservatives. But those idiots just set the 2nd amendment position back. And other freedoms because the left will use it for gaining more power. Because thats what all of their agendas are about...power. If you folks dont see it, heaven help you. This analysis was idiotic. At best. But thats the WP for ya.
Eugene Goodman did the impossible: he turned the name Eugene from a nerdy name, to the name of a hero doing exemplary work at his job.
