By the way, this from folks who "say" they defend police.
And such attack based on lies...NO truths all validate lies. They were motivated to this outrageous behavior by lies....NOT one truth.
Please....I know of nowhere where folks like you defend such actions.

This whole incident is still under investigation. From what I have read there is evidence that this raid on the Capitol was preplanned and many of the people who gained entry into the capitol were masked. 99.9% of the people in DC that day went there to show support for the members of Congress seeking to block the certification from happening. Whether you or I or anyone else agrees with them is irrelevant. They were there peacefully which is probably why they were not afraid to show their faces.
There is video of at least one guard opening up the door to the Capitol and waving people in. They entered as tourists, walked around taking pictures, some of them sat down on benches to relieve their tired feet and suddenly the crazy stuff started to happen.
Trump had offered federal assistance with security and the DC Mayor turned him down. The capitol police had asked their chief for backup well in advance of the demonstration and they were denied. Everyone knew there was going to be a crowd in DC that day. Instead of demonizing the demonstrators who were there peacefully, ask why the door was held open. Ask why there was not adequate security in town that day and around the Capitol. Ask who is responsible for this. Let the investigation into what happened and who was responsible to conclude before rushing to judgement. Well, oops, too late for that ain't it?[/QUOTE]

1. Would appreciate a link to "what you have read".
2. Did you listen, watch or read the press conference yesterday ?
3. This link is important.

4. While there is much much more to come from investigation, it sounds like someone is blowing smoke at you. That is why I really need to see your links. Some of what you say has "partial" truth, but leaves out so very very much.
