      You are completely right, I just think that if it was BLM storming the capital way more than one person would have been shot.

      Only 14 people were taken into custody on the day of the j6 insurrection, and only one person was shot.

      They were already using rubber bullets, they very well could have escalated in kind with live ammunition, we are talking about government officials here, not retail store windows.

      I understand that there is nuance to this situation, but I just had a visceral reaction to seeing this group get the kids gloves treatment after months of seeing the standard police response to protests that they didn’t agree with.
