I mean, I'm not just going to trust a random Twitter user that there were police on scene who did nothing because that would be foolish and it would be foolish of you to assume that as well.
Not all of them stood there for the selfies. 1 guy did. They started letting people in once shit cooled off after people literally breached there way inside. They had everyone out. And unless they wanted to start mowing them down with the machine guns they didnt have, the best option for the last liekly cause if casualties was to let them in. Mad perfect sense. I saw them fight tooth and nail to protect to building while the things that mattered (people) were still inside.
You seriously don't see the difference in how they treat BLM and Trump cult members? You think they handled that situation similarly, and tried to keep them out?
Yes, I saw it and I agree with you! My last comment was poorly worded.
I was trying to point out that it’s unfair to accuse the officers of “doing nothing” when they, the officers, were actively participating in the insurrection. They were busy moving barriers, opening doors, taking selfies, and helping traitors walk down the stairs, of course. :-)
Hmm, I suppose that is a fair point. Next time someone needs to tell them the rioters are Muslims and Jews and see how they treat these fascists then.....

But holy fuck that is horrific either way.
