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."

They just keep repeating the same lies, and the MSM won’t challenge them on it.

There sure is a double standard. BLM was allowed to riot with impunity. White conservative protesters are shot where they stand.

Well, it does show hypocrisy. Hypocrisy in that the first time anyone on the right got a little rowdy, the police opened fire with live ammo, while the commies were allowed to be violent for months and months with just some pepper spray and tear gas in return.

Whats even worse is that all the gutless rinos in congress aren’t going on tv and pointing out the blatant hypocrisy that you mentioned, and they just allow the LYING SCUMBAGS in the media to paint the false narrative e that these peaceful protesters were violent.

The rinos are disgusting vile creatures who hated Trump so bad that they ALLOWED the scum on the left to take control illegally

Hypocrisy, of course. In two weeks an immoral, corrupt administration will take charge and I give it perhaps one month before BLM and Antifa will turn on the new Godless administration- classic “ evil is commonly used to kill evil”. The Demoncrats are full of hate, they will start “eating their own”, for the whole world to see.

Yesterday someone posted a great pix of Asian/oriental/yellow Trump supporters at the rally, all together.

I’ll bet some were yellow.

Also saw a still of the actual rampage inside, and clearly a man in the front center looks like he could be Arab or Latino, or maybe mixed black/white. It’s not all lily white as our Baltimore mayor wants us to think (“this is what white supremacy looks like”.... bastard).

It does.

It shows how blm and antifa are favored and allowed to run wild, which Patriots are shut down and murdered in cold blood.

Who didn’t expect this hypocritical reaction? That’s not to say the patriots are wrong, they’ve done nothing wrong and have every right to protest-but this was always going to be the shamelessly hypocritical reaction of the left and its propaganda mouthpieces-THIS is what we’re up against and haven’t found a way around yet-I mean, social media platforms are even banning the POTUS and his supporters-we haven’t found a way around the shameless double standard because the left owns all forms of major media, and again, have no shame in displaying their hypocrisy-as one of their heroes Chomsky ( and HIS leader Satan) might say, whatever works. They certainly can’t be shamed or held to any standards, though they’ll shamelessly hold us to them. How do we get around this? Become as shameless as them? That wouldn’t bother me, but we don’t have the propaganda organs they have to write the narrative.

Apparently, even more of the fake “R” elected are RINOS than we knew. Which tells me even more are bought and paid for...

It's not hypocrisy. We sat through a long summer of looting, rioting, burning, "capitol hill autonomous zone" and all that from BLM, ANTIFA.

Trump supporters didn't do any of that on election night or in the two months after the election.

Capitol Hill Police rejected help from DOJ & the national guard to help maintain order going into Jan 6th. That was foolish.

I have been busy as a hardworking essential worker. I have no idea how many people were involved in the Capitol situation but I did briefly see thousands of America First Trump supporters walking peacefully outside from all walks of life, just like his 75+ million voters.

We cannot allow the media and next administration to censor us, to confiscation reality and replace it with their fiction. They've worked so hard these last four years perpetuating the Russia Hoax, the Charlottesville lie and other falsehoods until they got people to believe they were real.

We need #walkaway, #blexit and MAGA patriots to continue to speak their minds, demand action on America First issues. MAGA always applied to every American, born or naturalized regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. We should not be ashamed to reject divisive identity politics. We are all Americans first.

We always wanted a fair shake for the American taxpayer on the world stage with wealthy nations paying their share for defense in NATO and elsewhere. The wall is essential to addressing drug and human trafficking along the border. Catch and release is immoral. We must continue to fight for criminal justice reform undoing the Clinton/Biden legacy.

We must fight supreme court packing, Section 230 sanctioned censorship, a return to failed politics and policies of globalization, forcing national healthcare and everything else the Democrats will put forward.

SCOTUS & the courts having sat on their collective behinds about the individual mandate case can just wait for it to be moot when the Democrat Congress restores Obamacare if it doesn't replace it with Medicare for all.

I am still a "registered" Republican but that party must have learned the lessons of Trump's leadership and MAGA agenda. It must not return to the GOPe Wall Street globalist nonsense mirror of the Clinton New Democrats. Just as we looked for Tea Party candidates ten years ago, we need MAGA candidates who can articulate the message & win. We must fight for election reform and GOTV.
