People who you would never expect. There is a lot of resentment and hurt in the ranks of the police department due to all of the recent anti-police sentiment sweeping the country, and it's driving many police officers to embrace Trump who they see as an ally.

TwinIon Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I doubt it will happen, and I honestly don't fear for our Democracy, but I really hope Trump is removed from office somehow. It just seems like a much more fitting end to his presidency than simply walking away onto an OANN show or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Obviously there was an incredible contrast in how police responded yesterday versus how they treated the BLM protests, any loss of life from a protest is the most terrible of prices, and I think it's safe to say that they probably shouldn't have been able to get into the Capitol. However, I do think there's a case to be made that the police response yesterday is closer to how we'd like police to respond to protests in general. If the choice to gas and beat and choke and assault protesters or to just do your best to manage the crowds, falling back on extreme measures only when necessary, I think the latter is preferable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what I want the police response to be when a significant number of our elected officials are gathered in one space... but it’s not this. I’m generally in favor of non-violent policing and I don’t want to see anyone get blown away, but it’s but by the grace of the gods I do not believe in that none of these chucklefucks had a bomb or got to a spot where they could, say, selectively liquidate Senators.

Yeah, I think it's very fair to say that the police presence should have been far more significant given that this was a joint session of congress in the freaking capitol and not just a protest in a park somewhere. And like I said, they should never have been allowed to get into the building. At the same time, I also don't want to hold this protest up as an example of why we need to militarize our police and have tanks show up to every BLM event. I can just see people holding up this example of what happens when you don't let cops gas and beat everyone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The police very likely thought these people were on their "side" and seems like they were very shocked when they just rolled over them, and why later on they got the realistic protestor treatment.

This was intentional Ohhh the lack of force at first was very intentional, as i said, they really believed they were on the same side, "back the blue" all that nonsense. Also the lack of a federal response is directly related to the fact Trump didn't want any response, it was Pelosi, Pence and Harris making calls that basically 3 high ranking government officials were in immanent danger that DOD, DOJ, and Guard units were called in. By evening though that had changed dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re never wrong about basic principles, you’re only ever wrong about how deep and intricate the conspiracy is! And sadly, when they espouse their theories they use unsubstantiated claims propagated by political figures over media - social and TV. Propaganda is working on them and they don't even realize it, because they claim any rebuttals to their belief to be fake news. 5 hours ago, b_m_b_m_b_m said: 4 hours ago, b_m_b_m_b_m said: it was antifa but also you people made them do this 4 hours ago, ManUtdRedDevils said: Burn social media down 4 hours ago, SuperSpreader said: Right wing verse is blaming antifa but also taking credit for being brave invaders 4 hours ago, LazyPiranha said: There are millions of us! We are the silent majority! Also our large gatherings are mostly antifa! How easy it is for these idiots to believe words from "political figures". They eat up the fake news without even knowing it. And I witnessed two people argue with the actual facts. MAGA-turd claimed the picture of a person was Antifa, good citizen posted another picture of person-in-question being a Qanoner, and MAGA-turd justifies her initial belief by stating it wasn't the same person. When it clearly was, and multiple independent journalists confirmed it. And sadly people are also unwilling to examine the situations, BLM protests vs. EC protests, beyond the surface-level outlook. They see large gatherings, they see violence and rule-breaking, and then they stop thinking about it. They refuse to see the underlying commentary about these protests, the very fundamental nature of our reaction to them. For BLM, we are demanding justice and equal treatment from the very authority who is supposed to administer justice and equal treatment; with years of ample evidence, social study, and statistics showing bias is a huge factor. Meanwhile with zero evidence and no legislative standing, MAGAssholes can justify their selfish actions.
