Exactly, which makes me think the capitol police were working with congress to let this situation look ugly so the can enact stricter laws. That’s only explanation that makes sense for their removing the barricades and basically inviting the crowd inside.Standard practice to put plain clothes officers in a crowd
.........and , here comes the race card. A little slow in being played this time, but it's always laying there, waiting to be played.So walking down the street protesting calls for huge police presence, but committing multiple felonies on federal property is okay and warrants law enforcement helping people down the stairs and taking selfies. I wonder if the people on Tuesday were black if you people would be saying the same thing.

WTF, who says she had zip ties? If you'd stated she was going to choke someone with her Trump flag, that's one thing.I'm listening and trying to have a conversation, but you aren't interested in that, which is why our country is in the state it is in. Nobody wants to have a conversation. You just want to shout and recite your belief in whatever it is without actually engaging the legit question being asked.
I have not once said that burning cities or any type of destruction is peaceful, so that is irrelevant here. In fact, it is quite the opposite and I wouldn't have had any issue with law enforcement shooting and killing those in the act either this summer. I'm consistent in the stance that law and order is needed and that if you refuse to abide by that you have a chance of being shot by police. I'll ask again, and please try and answer what I asked you. At the moment the woman was shot, do you still consider that a peaceful protest? It is yes or no.
Lastly, I respect your stance on thinking everyone was there just to shout, but I disagree that you can be certain of everyone's intentions in an environment like that. It's impossible to know for sure, but one thing I do know is that I have never once thought to myself "I'm about to go have a conversation so I better make sure to have my zip ties with me".
You have not watched the video have you? The officer that shot her came from a side office with an open door. He advanced enough to be able to shoot her when he could have just closed his door.
I don't know of any dems being silent about rioting and destruction. They all spoke against that. There were thousands of BLM protests attended by millions of people. They were 99% peaceful. EVERYONE KNOWS that when you have large, widespread, multiple protests, there will be idiots who take advantage of the cover and act a fool.The Dems silence wrt the riots and destruction this past year hasn’t helped matters in the overall big picture of where we are at now, though. There are a lot of culpable actors in all of this.
There are tons of things officers "could have done" in situations that ended with a body bag. You only give a **** about this one because you think she was acting patriotically.
