Please do not give anyone ideas. But if anyone tried what you said, it would be a suicide mission. The cops today didn't shoot because they didn't have to, for the most part.the day his supporters rushed to his defense and shut down that damned Congress from stealing his election.
It was a mob of unarmed yahoos that, incredibly, were able to break into the freaking Capitol Building and shut it all down for a while. Amazing.
Just imagine if they had been 50 well-armed men hell-bent on killing a bunch of congressmen. It would have been a bloodbath.
Bad enough what the cops are doing to blacks, and the answer to your question is IF THEY WERE BLACK THEY BE SHOT. Well they were trampers and he probably made a pack with the DC police.
in a concerted act of seditious conspiracy
LOL. There was no "conspiracy". It was just a bunch of yahoos that walked up to the building and helped themselves inside. And that's what makes this story amazing and scary, that a bunch of clowns could actually pull that off.
Whataboutism is saying, essentially, that something is ok because someone else did the same. I have not made any such statement.
The topic of the thread, in case you want to discuss it, is how absurd it is that a bunch of unarmed yokels could break into the Capitol Building and almost take over. Amazing.

And you DODGED my question. Of the hundreds of riots, not a single black person was shot by police. Yet you claim here that, had they been black, they assuredly would have been shot. Hilarious.
Actually, had they been BLM, the cops would NOT have shot and nobody would be getting prosecuted.
OLD white guys.I honestly don't think they expected white guys to do this.

I noted in another thread. . . and I was laughed at, and Coyote of all people gave me a thumbs down. . . But. .
I seriously do not think they would have if they hadn't been led to it.
I read in Steinbeck's books, his observation of mob mentality, folks, when they are whipped up into a frenzy, will follow the herd, all it takes are some dedicated leaders to mold that behavior.
. . . and I do not think that the leaders were actually Trump supporters. They were either Deep Staters. . . ANTIFA, or some other folks with an alternative agenda. Law Enforcement should look into it, as they have been at BLM protests provoking riots there too.
. . . but I doubt that will happen.
With Trump refusing to allow the National Guard to be deployed until well after dark.
POST 24:This is about Trump's minions.
No, this is about the monolithic FAILURE by the folks running the security apparatus at the Capitol to secure the building and to protect Congress from a bunch of unarmed yahoos.
I agree that the idiots that invaded the building were in the wrong and should be charged. That doesn't change the fact that security was an abysmal failure. Why are you unwilling to acknowledge this fact?
Of course there was. You had Trump supporters trying to subvert the constitution...

It had nothing to do with Trump. Trump doesn't manage the streets of D.C. The mayor of D.C. called in the National Guard two days before the protests.
DC mayor calls in National Guard ahead of pro-Trump protests
The nation’s capital has mobilized the National Guard ahead of planned protests in Washington by President Donald Trump’s supporters as Congress votes Wednesday on affirming Joe Biden’s election victoryabcnews.go.com
Stop badgering me.

I think a bunch of dimwits walked up to the Capitol to protest, saw that they could get in, and did! They were probably shocked that they were so easily able to do so. No reasonable person would assume that they could overpower security, kidnap Congress and change the course of the election. If that's what you believe they were planning to do then I will put you into the loony-leftist category and call it a day.

Oh, trump most definitely did. As the Mayor can't deploy the national guard. He can REQUEST that the national guard be deployed.
Most National Guard units when operating in a civil environment are controlled by that state's governor, who responds to requests from local mayors. Since D.C. is not a state and does not have a governor, the Office of the Secretary of Defense has, by statute, delegated that responsibility for the D.C. Guard to the Army secretary.
And Trump had to be convinced to send them in. He delayed until dark.
"The National Guard and state forces responded at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday after pro-Trump rioters overran the building during the Electoral College vote count.
The Washington D.C. National Guard force of about 1,100 was mobilized to help federal law enforcement tamp down the insurrection, according to chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman. The Department of Justice will lead the federal law enforcement response, Hoffman said.
Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller said he coordinated with Vice President Mike Pence and congressional leaders to activate the National Guard and assist officers with taking back the Capitol. He did not mention any contact with President Donald Trump.
Trump had to be convinced to deploy the National Guard, a person familiar with the matter confirms to NBC News. Pence, who was moved to a secure location within the Capitol, was in contact with the Pentagon and “encouraged a much more rapid deployment,” the person added."
With later reports indicating that it was Pence Pence may have been the one to actually call for the deployment. Not Trump.
If Trump refused to deploy while his supporters ransacked, looted and attacked the capitol building in an act of seditious conspiracy........he should be impeached immediately.
And by the most recent reports, refused to deploy the national guard at all
Not really, Penelope. They don't overlap. The Capitol police are separate from DC police with their own limited jurisdiction like town police are. They're all separate from the FBI, NG, etc, who all have their own commands that have to decide whether to get involved. It's not like around here where if a guy decides to start shooting up his trailer, every LE with a radio will show up, including the game warden and sometimes even a fire fighter or two. But we have arrangements for that because almost none of our small towns have a police force. Apparently down in DC they haven't got a CODE RED that brings everyone. Maybe they should.Where were the DC police, no where to be found!! Where were the homeland guys or the NG.
Remember the capital is a federal building, something is awful strange!!
It had better happen, Mr. Beale. I agree with you 100%OLD white guys.I honestly don't think they expected white guys to do this.
