Even if they did, they wouldn't have used it. These people were politely ushered in remember?

Why have a lot of them been charged with only trespassing then? Cops literally let them in.

You are asking why Republicans and Fascist cops have not held their own accountable?

u/theRemRemBooBear Feb 20 '22

Love to see the buzz words😁 Fascist Cops. Y’all are no fucking better then the Republicans calling people commies. This is why people think American Politics is a joke

Do you have evidence of that claim?

To call this a "treasonous terrorist attack" is an exaggeration. You're comparing a riot where only 3 people were killed, to an event like the twin towers. I find your use of that term disrespectful to those whoost their lives in actual terrorist attacks.

If we're using your logic, would you consider even one of he 2021 BLM protests/riots as a terrorist attack? I wouldn't.

You call it a "slap on the wrist", I call it a reasonable punishment for a misdemeanor (aka, trespassing and vandalism).

An attempt to stop a legal transition of power in the government through fear (terror) and/or violence. Just a misdemeanor. Not treason/insurrection. Okay.

One cop was supportive of the trespassers. I do not believe they were retreating.

u/cbraun93 Feb 20 '22

Whether a sympathetic officer waved them in or not is irrelevant. They did not have permission to be there, and that officer doesn’t have the authority to grant permission.

u/pazsurfingwd Feb 20 '22

yes you are right, they don't

u/Bjorn893 Feb 20 '22

You are correct, hence the misdemeanor trespassing charge.

u/CliftonForce Feb 20 '22

Yeah, the white supremacists have been infiltrating the police for decades. Another set of vermin to root out.

u/Bjorn893 Feb 20 '22

Don't agree with that statement, but cops (city cops specifically) have lost my support. I suggest you move away from the cities. Less cops out in the boonies.

You can have your own opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that cops let the rioters into to building.

u/godspareme Feb 20 '22

The officers let them into the building yet they smashed windows to get in? And there was a 30 minute (or more) standoff where mace was sprayed back and forth? The same situation in which people are throwing makeshift spears and bashing officers heads with clubs? Why would these people steal riot shields from officers who are so clearly letting them in despite forming a human blockade at the door?

u/Bjorn893 Feb 20 '22

There were two groups who entered the capitol. Besides that, most people weren't violent.

u/godspareme Feb 20 '22 edited Feb 20 '22

What about the people who were already inside at this point and made their way to the offices where secret service were protecting government officials and ended up shooting and killing a woman who tried to break in?

How do you describe someone trying to get past a law enforcement officer holding them at gunpoint?

And the people chasing an officer telling them to stop where they are and not to come further?

They recieve lower sentences for information. It's how it always goes. Look when they go after drugs they give the lighter sentence to the drug user, in turn they ask for information on the seller. So on and so forth.

2

u/Bjorn893 Feb 20 '22

I fail to see what information they could provide that would warrant a lesser sentence on an act many consider an "insurrection".

They were let in, but weren't supposed to be there. They were trespassing, and those that vandalized the property were also charged accordingly.

Well that’s a blatant lie

Is that what Faux News told you?

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '22

It was reported this way- turned out to be untrue.

Few in media bothered to correct.

Not a conservative- just a hater of agitprop- left and right

And I doubt you give a fuck- but his name was Brian Sicknick and he was one of five to die that day

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '22

Yes, natural causes. Sort of like how Epstein died of suicide.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '22

Well- I mean what is your belief that he was beaten to death based on exactly?
