[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm hoping that you're just as quick to condemn the many times when police use tear gas, pepper spray, and vehicular chases inappropriately.[/quote]

Aren't these examples you are referring to already investigated.

OP is making the point that you can't neuter a police force and then call for those same skills. Yes you can hold accountable and apparently according to MPD, the Mayor and the City Council, there was already a process in place to hold accountable.

Instead we as a city opted to strip MPD of a capability we are now pleading for. [/quote]

Exactly.  Remember when Trump called in the National Guard for the protests and riots (yes there were riots/fires/violence) and[b] people howled and screamed that he was trying to be a military dictator[/b].  The decision was made after that to not bring in the NG for the remainder of the summer because of the optics of a coup. 
If Trump had called up several hundred NG to protect the Capitol on the 6th people would have lost their collective minds.  There are no two ways around that.  
I will also remind DCUM that everyone was laughing that the small dick incels  wouldn't have enough of them show up to field a baseball team.  Remember that? 
Now the press cannot stop their hero worship with police  interviews of how horrible it was to get hit with objects and tear gas (funny how they didn't get that same empathy during the summer)  after calling the police murders all last year.   [/quote]

Um. No. That's not why.

Also, "if Trump had called in the National Guard to protect the Capitol against his own supporters" is a statement that is inherently absurd.[/quote]

Obviously you don't understand how the National Guard works.  It takes several days to gather them together.  You don't just say "hey can I get a couple hundred NG over here now?"  [/quote]

Mayor Bowser requested help days ahead. It was denied. [/quote]
