House sergeant-at-arms to Jan. 6 panel: Response ‘would have been different’ if rioters were Black
The Hill ^ | 12/28/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD

House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, who led the D.C. National Guard during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, said law enforcement would have responded differently if the rioters had been Black.

“I’m African American. Child of the Sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker told the House Jan. 6 panel in April, according to a transcript released this week.

“As a career law enforcement officer, part-time soldier, last five years full-time, but a law enforcement officer my entire career, the law enforcement response would have been different,” Walker continued.

The House panel as part of its investigation examined why it took hours for the Pentagon to eventually send the National Guard to the Capitol as the calamity unfolded.

The committee concluded in its final report that no Pentagon officials deliberately held off on sending the Guard, but rather conflicting messages caused a delay, placing the blame on then-President Trump.

Maybe he means like BLM... nothing would have happened and there would be no Jan 6th circus.

I no doubt the response would have been different because the if the rioters had been black they’d been much more violent and looted all they touched. Since the majority of the Capital Police are black I have no doubt they’d stood by and allowed it too.

Then why didn’t it happen during the 2020 riots that caused 2 billion dollars of damage?

Blacks wouldn’t storm Capitol Hill. They prefer storming businesses so they can loot them.

“I’m just going to speculate, here. I’m just going to use my imagination. If I were to dream a little dream, and picture the event as something totally different from what it was, then I would guess, I mean, I would imagine, that a racial genocide would have happened. And so, having proved pretty thoroughly that President Trump is a racist, I recommend the death penalty.”

I guess very soon Elon will release a couple dozen communications from the Deep Staters showing how they molded the situation as it developed (starting in December 2020!!).
The Twitter Files is chock full of secrets.

Trump made it clear from the beginning he wanted troops on the ground.

If there was any miscommunication it was the LGBT pervs in the military brass or the Dem/RINO moles on his staff.

If the riot was made up of black people the place would have been stripped and burned to the ground. And that is just a fact. They have a compulsion to burn things. It is like a cultural statement.

"...said law enforcement would have responded differently if the rioters had been Black."

"...it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans..."

"...the law enforcement response would have been different..."

HOW SO?

If the rioters had been black the commie media would have licked their asses and demanded they get released from custody

Is he saying that fewer women would have been murdered?

Well.

In this case, a black man gets to murder an unarmed white woman in cold blood, have his identity hidden for months, and then get a medal for it.

We've come a long way, Baby!

The place would have been untouched cause all the rioters would have headed to the closest liquor/TV store, not the capitol.

No doubt the effect would have been different...
everything not nailed down would have disappeared
including every CVS and Walgreens within fifty miles,
also shoe stores and anything with glass store fronts.

It’s just a fact.

This guy sees the world through the eyes of a black man, not as an American.

So we should see him in the same way.

He’s not an American, so who gives a Shiite what he has to say?

“Children of the Sixties,” along with their Adderalled kids and their indoctrinated grandkids, are our biggest problem.
