It wasn't really a line though, the line was at the door and they abandoned it when they didn't need to hold it anymore. It looks more like the cops were just in the stairwell rather than guarding the stairs. Then around 1:54 in the second clip you can see he's right behind the woman who got shot, already on the stairs. She falls back onto the top of the stairs and the police try to clear an area around her to provide medical attention and rather than have him step over her and whoever is providing medical attention to go back into the crowd, they send him and one or two other protestors down the stairs.
He dipped out behind police lines, though.

Is that necessarily sus considering how lackadaisical and/or outnumbered the cops were generally?
It's definitely still sus, it's just not conclusive.
