(from the article):" Over the summer we saw federal law enforcement use tear gas, flash bangs,
and rubber bullets on Black Lives Matter protesters without provocation.
Where are the riot squads now? "

Without provocation ? - you have to be kidding me !
Where are the arsons done by the Trump peaceful protesters ?
In any other State, arsonists can be shot while 'in the act', or preparatory act of committing arson.
One of the few occasions calling for the use of deadly physical force. .

“Law enforcement did not expect that from a crowd of Trump supporters. I think it caught them off guard and surprised them.”

I think the police thought it would be the same old thing - older Trump supporters waving their flags, singing Hymns, etc. While I’m pretty sure that the anarchists and BLM type folks also took advantage of the situation, I think that a lot of patriots are/were expressing their anger about the stolen election.

“Caught off guard”

I have a poster:

“Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance,
My calmness for acceptance,
and my kindness for weakness.”

The photo with the words is a sniper sitting with his rifle.

I think to some extent that is what the Capital Police encountered.

If that unarmed lady they shot and killed had been black, would the riots be justified?

I just LOVE the overuse of the term” WITHOUT PROVOCATION”.

As IF burning & looting and destroying businesses & jobs isn’t PROVOCATION.

They don’t seem to realize that the BLM riots were handled by the Metro Police and the Capitol protests were handled by the Capitol Police. Two different organizations with different standards, training and leadership. Also, there was no arson or statue-pulling at the Capitol.
