Not so here.
At the Capitol riot it was pretty well acknowledged that the edge regarding firepower was probably on the side of the crowd, just through sheer numbers.
You're talking thousands of people outside, if one out of every hundred of them had a gun the Cops were out-gunned by...I couldnt even begin to guess.
If those Cops had come out of that hallway guns blazing it would essentially be a re-enactment of the final scene of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.'
And they knew it. They knew there was going to be blood on both sides of the floor.
But they were at their limits. They'd been holding and fighting and getting the crap kicked out of them for HOURS.
The fact that their superiors and other law enforcement agencies abandoned them for hours and hours because armed troops on the Capitol lawn would have bad optics?
Oh man...if I was one of those Cops? I'd be livid.

That's because the national guard was in DC BEFORE the BLM protests started, and the DC police chief wanted the same thing to happen on Jan 6 which would have likely prevented any riots. But he was denied for "reasons"

No it isnt. Its perfectly rational from their perspective.
The Tax Cheats give the Republican Party money. The people who are cheated out of tax revenue also give the Republican Party money.
From an Amoral and strict Self-Interest perspective it makes perfect sense.
From the perspective of a reasonable person its insane, but putting yourself in that frame of mind when trying to analyze the motives of the Republican Party is your mistake...

Really nice of all these people to film themselves committing crimes. People truly have zero sense of accountability. It's sickening to see these complete idiots commit senseless crimes in the name of baseless allegations. However, democracy will continue to endure regardless of these idiots. Do they think because they are simply standing in the capital building that they can take over?

I dunno, ask an American politician if they're the center of the world and they'll tell you they're the center of the world. The trend of pretty far right wing governments rising on populist movements in democratic nations wasn't just an American thing, nor is this.

The staff of one president has actively looked for these things and contacted the National Archive themselves when they found some. The other president repeatedly ignored the National Archive's requests to turn everything over and kept them in his holiday ressort because he felt they belonged to him.
so obviously, both sides bla bla bla.
