Did you conveniently ignore the part that the Capitol Police, one of the most well armed and well funded police forces in the US, are either terrible incompetent and couldn't protect one of the most important buildings in the US.
Or did you ignore the videos of them removing barriers, or Trump supporters yelling at people breaking glass to stop, or protestors getting selfies with the guards in the building and tapping them on the shoulder and thanking them for their service?
- lovecg 6y agoI don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but there’s at least one video of protesters violently removing the barriers https://mobile.twitter.com/elijahschaffer/status/1346966514990149639 https://mobile.twitter.com/elijahschaffer/status/13469665149... This is a good list as well https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/ks56rh/trump_riot_list_of_acts_of_violence_and_calls_to/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/comments/ks56rh/trump_ri...
- djsumdog 6y agoHere's one video: https://noagendasocial.com/@cgarison/105517331411076930 https://noagendasocial.com/@cgarison/105517331411076930 There was also one on Steve Bannon's War Room too this morning towards the end. There are multiple ones if you just search of the Capitol police literally waving people in.
- djsumdog 6y agooh and here is a video of Trump supporter stopping a vandal: https://freespeechextremist.com/media/d5a1870d-1c9d-45a9-be29-c43a9d104529/IoyZ7lCJSgerYbsM.mp4 https://freespeechextremist.com/media/d5a1870d-1c9d-45a9-be2...
- lovecg 6y agoThe links don’t open for me, sorry. I’ve seen the first video judging by the thumbnail; it shows a cop waving to someone offscreen. Other cops maybe? Given that we have plenty of video of police being attacked I’ll need stronger evidence for the “cops waved them through” theory.
- cycrutchfield 6y agoOccam's Razor suggests that the cop was gesturing to other cops on the line that they were retreating from their position and falling back. To suggest otherwise strains credulity and would require much more substantial proof.
- lovecg 6y agoThat sounds plausible. Police do not calmly wave rioters through in one area while their colleagues are getting beat up elsewhere. Once us vs. them mentality settles in it’s game over.
- cycrutchfield 6y ago>Steve Bannon's War Room Oh my, surely an unbiased source. Why not inform us what Alex Jones is saying as well?
- cycrutchfield 6y agoNone of that is relevant to my point above.
