January 6th: Insurrection, Riot, or Protest

I think it is a giant joke. Political agenda at its best. The country I fought fir and lost brothers and sisters defending is being destroyed by people that are untouchable. I think we where actually fighting the wrong war we should be fighting the politicians

 

Its an insurrection, no matter how much propaganda saying otherwise the Trumpist fanatics make

 

I think it was a mostly peaceful protest. It was also a Winter of love.

 

Say that to the guys destroying windiws, beating security guards, threatening the lives of the people working in the Capitol

 

Keep living in your delusional reality

 

I understand sarcasm but I don’t feel that’s something that was an insurrection made out to be funny

 

So if I believe that it was an insurrection makes me delusional well the majority of the people in the USA believe it was an insurrection, so who is delusional now

 

How are there still US citizens who think Jan. 6th was anything but a violent insurrection against the US government?

Tucker's video is so misleading it is almost laughable...if the situation wasn't so horrid.

This guy's analysis is equally as horrid, but what makes it grossly unfathomable, is that he seems to think he "understand" what is going on when the police are letting the insurrectionists into the building.

Let's say you are the police agency tasked with protecting Congress.

1) The sitting POTUS and his clown car of hateful idiots finished a inciting a large group of angry supporters by telling them they needed to go down to Congress to "Stop the Steal!"
2) The U.S. Capitol building is over 1.5 million square feet, has over 600 rooms, and miles of corridors.

It is a widely recognized icon of the American people and government. The U.S. Capitol's design was selected by President George Washington in 1793 and construction began shortly thereafter.

The U.S. Capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world.

So, it is a historically significant and important building.

3) The United States Capitol Police has the primary responsibility for protecting life and property, preventing, detecting, and investigating criminal acts, and enforcing traffic regulations throughout a complex of congressional buildings, parks, and thoroughfares. The Capitol Police has primary jurisdiction within buildings and grounds of the United States Capitol Complex.

4) Despite employing 1,879 sworn officers as of September 2020, a congressional inquiry forced USCP to admit that on January 6th, only 195 officers were deployed to interior or exterior posts at the U.S. Capitol and 276 more were assigned to the Department’s seven civil disturbance unit platoons.

So, you have a massive and historically important building that is being protected by less than 200 officers.

The officers are seeing and hearing this mob of angry, violent protesters - according to the US Attorneys Office, District of Columbia, approximately 140 police officers were assaulted Jan. 6 at the Capitol including about 80 U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department.

The officers hear on their radios that the building has already been breeched and that the elected officials have been evacuated to safety.

Their next duty is to protect the historic building as much as possible. Do you, as an officer, continue to try to block the protestors from entering the building, causing even more damage, or do you let them in so as to avoid even more damage?

Apparently this is completely misunderstood by MAGA supporters.

It's like a burglar who claims it wasn't stealing because the door was unlocked!
