Had you ever even heard the word "insurrection" before 1/6? There's a good reason for that. It's a word we formerly only ever heard when some third world government fell to a coup. Civil strife is common to every society on earth but the term "insurrection" is only used when citizens try to forcibly remove the leaders of their government.in·sur·rec·tionNo it isn't. The police are not the federal government. They are not even the local government.
