[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine thinking the issue with the Republican terrorist takeover of the Capitol was that the Capitol police weren't allowed to use chokeholds on the protestors and not that the right wingers in charge of security deliberately understaffed the Capitol police and deliberately ignored requests for backup because they knew it was their own people who were the terrorists.

But of course you knew that and like all regressives are pushing a bad-faith argument falsely comparing largely peaceful protests in which the police used excessive force against everyone because of a few bad actors to a terrorist insurrection in which every single actor was inciting violence and breaking the law.

So do you deny that they used tear gas to quell the crowd, [b]a riot control method our Council is sternly against[/b]? And Guardsmen have now been authorized to use [b]lethal force[/b]. Again, what a difference a season makes![/quote]

Stop spreading misinformation. The Council prohibited use of tear gas, pepper spray, riot gear, rubber bullets and stun grenades by MPD (or federal police while on non-federal land) [b]in response to First Amendment protests[/b]. When you violently force yourself into the US Capitol, that's not a First Amendment protest.[/quote]

Any 1st amendment protest can unfortunately (and unpredictably) contain or be joined by non-peaceful elements and/or devolve quickly into a riot. [/quote]
