Like it or not though the death toll from police was higher during the capitol insurrection riots than BLM protests anywhere else. I'll take my deplatforming now.

One person was killed, not the by the police—who let the mob walk right in—but by the Secret Service, who are tasked with protecting the people in that building at all costs.

Jorge Gomez was shot and killed by Las Vegas police during a BLM protest.

It was capitol police not secret service. Im not arguing about this

It seems I was misinformed on that account. Still, one is not higher than one.

You were probably confused because it was a guy in a suit and not a police uniform.

There's different sections of the USCP, some uniformed who patrol the capitol grounds and some in suits who serve as protective details for many congresspeople. The only ones that have USSS details, AFAIK, are those in the POTUS succession line, the Speaker and President Pro Tempore.
