I will be honest here, I don't necessarily blame them. I mean, people were trying to break into a room they were not suppose to be in, with government officials in there
But for me it seemed odd there was no investigation. Now imagine a police officer on the street shooting down an unarmed woman, especially if the woman was Black. The media would swarm in demanding social justice and assume it was systemic racism, even if that woman was trying to break into a building like the woman at the Capital. The media would plaster the name of the police officer all over the place as death threats would sweep in towards the officer and his family.
Conversely, the media kept the name of the police officer at the Capital a secret for a very long time, as long as they could. And there was no accusations of racism or sexism or excessive police force. And there was not even an investigation. Why would they not at least do an investigation? Instead, they just gave the guy a medal for shooting down an unarmed woman.
Chilling.
