Incorrect. As trained as former Military their first thought should have been HEAD SHOTS. As Most were VETERANS They knew they were protecting Their Government And way of Life. Not ANY ONE PERSON. What happened afterwards, ALL politics. AFTER THE PAIN AND DEATH!. Not to mention the DENIAL😥

The micro-penis party, the same ones cheering on ICE, would have started squealing like pigs if the CapPo treated the J6 traitors with the same level of brutality. Hypocrisy and stupidity are their fuel.

That they did NOT is another one of the thousand reasons for T in power. They thought they were fighting in a moral arena. Just like YOU, Adam, STILL do.

We the people have had enough of this maniac! Time for we the people to overthrow this corrupt criminal bunch of psychopaths that will destroy this country and everything it stands for

Please reporters point this out to all toadies of this Administration!!! They can’t lecture anyone about how deal with police. We watched how they do it.

What’s so disconcerting is how GOP as well as the courts are allowing 47 to turn an army called ICE against the citizens of this country! Are we really living in “the land of the free”? ICE appears to be the American version of the Gestapo! Wake TF up!

They should have had machine guns blazing. I often think if that happened we would be nowhere where we are now... The traitor was president that day, maybe that had something to do with their restraint. None of that matters now, they have their guns ready to mow down protestors in the streets.

That's the difference between democrat and republican. Democrats try to calm the problem without deadly consequences. Republicans say fuck it, kill them all, the deadliest the better and we will just blame the liberals.

Actually, I thought why didn't that happen, with the breach of the building and the protection required, surprised they did not use deadly force. There were so many innocent lives on the line.

The main worry was collateral damage and to answer your question as to who, widespread non‑use of deadly force resulted from officer‑level hesitancy, training and cultural factors, and command‑level planning failures. Sure, now, Donnie has a much different approach if it is the radical left

I think they decided with then overwhelming crowd, it'd be best to let it go & then prosecute later, rather than have a major massacre. But in the end shooting them all would have been the better choice. Can't pardon that.

My guess is first priority was getting congress members and their staffs out. Delay the mob long enough to evacuate. Also probably a good chance they had intelligence on the Oath Keepers staged in VA, and knew it was open civil war if they started firing. Of course, it damn near is now anyway.

Speaking with another protestor yesterday, she agreed that the way it looks, people will have to pour into the streets and shut this current government down. It is just stupid to hear him talk about interfering with the Iranian government when he has the same problem here, can't be dumber.

let's not mince status quo ideologies and words here: had it been "minorities" (🙃) there would have been zero hesitation to end the invasion threat with their justified urgency

I mean… they did the right thing by not but…seeing all this insanity now and the re-arrests for violent crimes… I can’t help wonder how much of these crimes would’ve been prevented by eliminating some of these highly dangerous criminals… tho not being pardoned would’ve accomplished the same thing!

If it were the colored folk storming the capitol - a different picture. They were way too lucky Countries outside the USA make jokes about it. My Jamaican friends and Asian friends.

The capitol police should had open fire on the insurrectionist. That was their job to protect the building & the lawmakers inside. If the rioters were black they would had.

Funny, I mentioned this yesterday in an exchange with a MAGA coworker. His response “J6 wasn’t rioters, they were objecting to an election that was stolen, ICE is detaining illegal immigrants that have broken the law, she shouldn’t have been there” I had no response because I just cant sometimes!

The Capitol building was closed because of COVID. They tore down the American flag and put up a Trump flag, and the brought a gallows to “hang Mike Pence”. They were smearing $hit on the walls.It was an insurrection lead by a big orange crybaby who hasn’t stopped crying for 5 years!

Oh I agree will you My point is MAGA thinks so completely opposite that is mind numbing. Could literally do science experiments on the difference based on what one sees alone

Wait, I thought they were Antifa? Oh wait, not it was the FBI (still overseen by Trump at the time). Or no, they didn’t have guns, only spears, shields, and clubs. Even though there were guns on J6, and apparently cars are now weapons.

Ashli Babbitt, who was violently and illegally attacking our Capitol, a hero and patriot but Renee Good who was peacefully exercising her first amendment rights a “domestic terrorist”. Can’t make this stuff up. It’s happening.

But they--unlike the current (at least) iteration of ICE "officers"--were fully trained and that training kicked in. Each and every one was a hero. How they've been treated by the far right is a disgrace to the nation.

They should've. Absolutely should've. They should STILL be mopping terrorist blood up from the steps of the Capitol. Renee Good didn't threaten anyone on the other hand.

In a way, because they didn’t, it allows their revisionist telling now that they weren’t violent insurrectionists and they weren’t doing anything wrong, becuase if they had been, wouldn’t the cops have handled it as such?

I don't know if we can even compare standards. Renee Good was not threatening in any way shape or form. She stood her ground and wasn't afraid of him. And then shetried to leave. That's it. There shouldn't even be a debate! I'm embarrassed for half the people on news shows defending this murder.

I think the arrests based on Jan 6 were probably about right. The real mistake was how trump was treated. He exploited the Paradox of Tolerance to basically continually accuse everyone of election interference and being unfair, and in so doing got the time he needed.

I imagine some of the insurrectionists were armed to the teeth. It would have been a massacre of the Capitol police! I do wish they'd had a few sharp shooters on roof tops so that many more besides Ashlee Babbitt had been picked off!!

By their own logic (looking at you Vance) Ashlee Babbit didnt follow orders and therefore deserved to be shot Im sure Renees family will receive $5M from the DOJ

I mean, to put a fine point on it, she had already committed trespassing and was advancing toward members of Congress with ill intent. She got WAY more warning than she should have gotten. This is, ya know, in contrast with a woman just trying to drive through her own neighborhood.

Millions of us were screaming for that to happen as we watched the insurrectionist mob in action. The failure to do so is why we are in this place right now. The MAGA movement should have ended in piles of ashes.

Let's be honest.... had they been black or brown they would have been shot and Cankles would have called the National Guard!! Truth!!!
