Eugene Goodman (police officer)
- ... that Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman has been credited with having "saved American Democracy" on January 6, 2021? Source: here: "It is not hyperbole, exaggeration or an opening pitch of a TV movie ... to say that Eugene Goodman saved American Democracy on Jan. 6, 2021."
- ALT1:... that Eugene Goodman has been called as an American hero for having "single-handedly prevented untold bloodshed" by diverting a "mayhem-minded" mob away from an unguarded door to the Senate? Source: here: "Eugene Goodman is an American hero. At a pivotal moment on January 6, the veteran United States Capitol Police officer single-handedly prevented untold bloodshed. Staring down an angry, advancing mob, he retreated up a marble staircase, calmly wielding his baton to delay his pursuers while calling out their position to his fellow officers. At the top of the steps, still alone and standing just a few yards from the chamber where senators and Vice President Mike Pence had been certifying the Electoral College’s vote, Goodman strategically lured dozens of the mayhem-minded away from an unguarded door to the Senate floor."

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I prefer ALT0, as ALT1 seems a little "over the top". The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:48, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
