'Kill him with his own gun': Police recount fearing for their lives in Capitol riot

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “‘Kill him with his own gun’: Police recount fearing for their lives in Capitol riot” – below is their description.

Washington DC police officers recalled their experiences of trying to hold off the violent mob who breached the U.S. Capitol during the deadly insurrection last week.
Officer Daniel Hodges, who was caught in between security doors as Trump loyalists tried to push through, said he thought he was going to die.
Officer Mike Fanone said he heard rioters shout “kill him with his own gun”, as they assaulted him.
The Capitol was overrun on January 6 when the mob, armed with metal pipes, pepper spray and other weapons, pushed past the thin police line and soon broke into the building.
Five people died in the mayhem, which came the day Congress was meeting to vote to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
