If you had asked me January 5th what would happen if a mob tried to storm the capital and attack congress, I would have said they would be mowed down by machine gun fire.
After January 6th, I remember thinking “well shit, if people had actually showed up we really could have stormed area 51.”
Y’all seem to be forgetting that the reason this was a coup attempt is because the national guard was never called in despite officials knowing of the attack.
They literally paved the way for the magats to get inside.
That one cop, I’m actually upset I forget the name of, that lead a group away from congressmen by baiting them into a trap will forever be a hero to me.
I mean acab but this guy still sets a better example than most.
Dude was black and he just knew that mob would who aggro onto him instead of the representatives because of that. (I mean, they did, didn’t they?)
Maybe it’s different for Capitol Police, but for most cops being a decoy isn’t a part of their job description. In that moment, he wasn’t acting as a cop. He was acting as a hero.
Not only were they not called in, but we all knew it was coming in advance. I refuse to beleive people on reddit knew about it but the government didn’t. They should have been set up in advance with at least a bit more than they had.
But they didn’t do that, and when people called for back up they were told “Lol no”
Yet if people try to peacefully protest against cops killing black people they get demonized and assaulted
Well the people who were responsible for calling it in were the people who publicly invited the riot. Would be counterintuitive for Trump & Cronies to put down his own rebellion.
Yes, but also no regarding Area 51. Peoplr made facebook groups and associated on Twitter and the government would have been prepared for it explicitly because people were going to storm the capital
That and because in the case of Area 51, the people who would be making the call to bring in troops and start shooting didn’t stand to benefit from the actions of the crowd.

A lot of Capitol police fought like fucking lions and are responsible for the survival of most of congress.
But there were also a few collaborators in there, make no mistake.
