Does anyone know the story behind the picture of police opening a gate...

... in the fence around the capitol? I just searched for "gate" in what seemed to be a comprehensive story by NPR, no hits. I've been waiting and waiting to find out.

I think this is the one where, after the gates are open, the cop waves the crowd into the Capitol area and someone is heard saying "OMG"? I too am shocked at that one. The waving the people in is what causes me to gasp.

I would love to know what really happened. Is it as bad as it looks?
