Black Lives Matter Says Capitol Response Shows Law Enforcement 'Hypocrisy'
Newsweek ^ | 1/7/2021 | Jacob Jarvis

Posted on 01/07/2021 9:21:30 AM PST by Onthebrink

Black Lives Matter has said the handling of violence at the Capitol compared to how other protests have been dealt with shows "hypocrisy" by law enforcement.

Thousands of Trump supporters attended a rally in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday before eventually storming the Capitol building.

Black Lives Matter, which describes itself as a global organization aiming "to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities," described the situation amounted to an "insurrection and coup."

Too bad Trump’s catering to black criminals did not change the hearts of the BLM terrorists.

Lets see:

UNARMED white woman who was not being violent, was shot dead by Capitol Police...

The protestors in the Capitol did minimal damage (a few broken windows - likely done by the antifa plants)...

Capitol Police and Metro PD were body slamming old women, gassing and pepper spraying even protestors who were in the designated area for protestors...

Yeah - I would say there is a double-standard - and it is playing nice with BLM/ANTIFA and heavy-handed towards Patriots.

If was Black Lives Matter they would still be occupying the Capital. Any police attempting to dislodge them would be Gestapo and Storm Troopers.

Commies blaming American patriots for a coup and insurrection. That’s rich.

I no longer support police or back the blue. They have shown their true colors and chosen side and it is not our side. They assault, brutalize and murder unarmed, law-abiding, conservatives while they run away from BLM/Antifa mobs.

They chose their jobs and pensions over their oaths.

Piss on all of them.

The new buzzword is VIOLENCE. Every news station is saying it 100 times a day trying to brainwash people to think that the Trump supporters were violent.

IF ANYTHING was MOSTLY PEACEFUL, it was this protest where the worst that happened was a few windows got busted, very likely by zntifa posing as Trump supporters because they came armed with Hatchets to do damage where the Trump supporters came just to protest only.

Antifa put out a social media letter telling their members to show up armed and ready to raise hell,and t hey did, but the media, ALL OF THEM, inc,using even Newsmax, were prepared to blame Trump for VIOLENCE, even though there was non to speak of, except for the protester who was murdered. This tru,y was a MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTEST.

Sorry for cps, tablets such for typing on

When blm and antifa destroyed things, attacked people and killed them, the entire left loved it. Now that antifa has broken into congress, the entire left condemns it because antifa carried Trump banners and flags.

Third thing the radical left staged: virus, riots, capital breakins.

There was almost no violence in spite of the crowd being substantially larger than anything they ever put together. And even then, there is video evidence of a man breaking a window and other protesters stopping him and dragging him away.

So give me a break. Don’t burn. Don’t block traffic. You’ll be fine.

They let you riot for a week, burn down a city block and almost a church, and then paint your cause into a street and named the place after you.

But yeah...

That wasn’t the police that murdered that woman,that was capital security who take their orders fro the scum on the left. The police are the ones out in true riots getting their skulls bashed in by violent blm and antifa while they are also told to stand down, but they certainly are not shooting Trump supporters like the capital security did
