I don't know why the police weren't ready for this. Trump supporters were pretty open about wanting to rush into the capitol. Trump himself told protestors to be "wild". Hopefully more police are on their way to help.

At what point will they be shot or tear gassed, or is that just reserved for minorities and peaceful protestors?

Do we already have "shocked" reactions from republican politicians that fueled these kind of acts and conspiracies for the lasr four years?

Hey media, here's a piece of advice, you know how you rush to call black people protesting rioters? How about you call these people what they are? Fucking sedition fueling chuds.

At what point will they be shot or tear gassed, or is that just reserved for minorities and peaceful protestors?

They are still trying to peacefully talk them down steps from the actual Senate chambers! Because spoiler alert, these cops are just professionally dressed chuds.

If this isn't convincing you about where police's priorities lie, nothing will. A complete terrifying embarassment.

How the fuck where they let it in. I understand the racisim aspect of the cops magically showing restraint, but whomever is in charge of this shit needs to be held accountable

This is a spectacular failure in safety and security

I can only assume that many cops are intentionally holding back and enabling this.

it was a bit crazier earlier when the reporter on the other end of the feed was documenting the real-time break-in of the capital building

People in the building being asked to go under their desks rather than...making sure the protestors aren't getting that close in the first place
