    Depending on what you are implying regarding which was which, I have a hunch we aren’t going to agree on that detail, and I’m doubtful either will change the others mind, so I’m just going to cut this off here.

    Edited because my original wording was nearly gibberish.

      I’m saying the insurrectionists were armed, as well as the idiot protestors outside of many State Capitol buildings, and so the cops are a lot more apprehensive about harassing or confronting them than they were towards BLM protestors. There was a lot more at play on January 6th than just being armed though, including ideological alignment, and support from high level politicians.

        Ah, I misinterpreted not only who you were saying was armed, but also your implied result.

        I agree, but that just makes police look even worse than if it were mere bigotry and bias.
