Yes, the police just let them in. I don't think that would have happened in a BLM or similar protest. Somehow it's ok and non-threatening if it's white people carrying guns.Ok this video makes absolutely no sense.
Why would the police do that?
This makes it look like a set up.

If, as police, you're going to be heavy-duty law-and-order, you should be doing it equally for all people that you view as threats.
What are you thinking?
Well, there's this:Not sure if this is what happened.
Oh, for God's sake. Trump has been encouraging his cultish followers to do all this. He tweeted his approval at today's actions. These weren't fakers. These were his faithful followers, doing exactly what he encouraged them to do,I don't think one way or the other yet....
But what if this was a set up to make the republicans look as bad as possible? Let enough through that think they are going in allowed and then stop them..you would only need a few bad apples who may even be not republicans in the group to then break down a locked door. At that point mob mentality kicks in.
I am not saying this is what happened but when I saw the video I immediately saw multiple very plausible scenarios.
Scenario A the cops let them in and waived through to locked doors. Why?
Scenario B the cops let them in and the doors weren't locked and once in they just started walking around. If so, when were doors locked? Mid riot?
Scenario C is my crazy theory.
It does appear though that the group that was let through the barriers may be the same group you see first walk in which means they were allowed inside. At what point then were they stopped and did it turn?
Lastly why was one guard covering a back stairway by himself and why was there a nightstick on the ground 15 feet behind him ready to be picked up and waived as he retreated? That looked staged.

Well, there is a reasonable argument that cops, as a general group, do not regard white, right-wing, flag-wavers as threats. I think that if you Refaced all the folks charging the Capitol and replaced them with black and brown faces, there would have be a very different reaction.You missed alot of what I posted.
Let's agree cops waived them in. Then waived them inside. When did it go south? It looks to go south the second they walk through the door yet they were just waived in.
I read this about an hour or so ago and I've been thinking about it for awhile. I have no problem going down the rabbit hole, but at this point, I can't dismiss any of the 3 options you offered.I don't think one way or the other yet....

Well, there's this:
But these guys get arrested. Seriously, are you really able to ignore how the law gets applied one way for some situations and another way for others?
