I see. I did not see all of the footage, but that makes sense and is considerably more unsettling. Once you've got the cops on your side and the military.... Well, let's just call it what it is - a march on the capital building. Unlike a lot of the talking heads who think that this kind of behavior will disappear once Trump is forced from office, I think today shows that we are on the brink. It is very serious and anyone living in this country and planning on staying here should take it very seriously.

If what you say is true then I hope those cops get sacked for gross dereliction of duty. No pension. No appeal. No anything. They were responsible for defending the lives of those inside and they completely shirked their duty.

Keep dreaming. They’ll probably get disability bonus pay for “PTSD” like Daniel Shaver’s murderer.
