> But then when a few yahoos walked around the capital taking selfies for an hour Is this really what you remember from that day? I remember being glued to the TV for hours because it was obviously a Dangerous Fucking Situation. Cops who were there gave testimony, with tears in their eyes, that it was one of the most difficult days of their lives. Honestly, this comment feels like borderline brainwashing — a manufactured memory. (Or else gaslighting.) As for “but BLM,” one might forgive (without condoning) the occasional bursts of violence among countless peaceful protests given that the country just witnessed a blatant extrajudicial execution on the streets of a nominally first world city. (Even putting aside reports that the police and embedded rabble-rousers were often the instigators.)
