6200 national guard members were mobilized and a 6pm curfew was instated once the protests turned violent btw
Hear anything in the news about continuing protests? More violence? Looting or property damage? I haven’t heard anything since yesterday
Also how long were they even in the capitol building for before they took control over it again? It’s not like they camped out in the building. The initial preparations were subpar but the response was similar to any other protest that turned violent.
Please continue with this narrative though
Wrong. That was a federal government decision. Nat guard of DC is under control of the executive since they have no governor. DC government requested them
Black mayor of DC, black AG, but they didn’t completely crush these protestors in a militarized fashion because they were white. Maybe It was due to political reasons and the fact that they faced protests against police brutality all summer and their specific base of voters (democrats) consider that a top issue in recent times
After the protests turned violent they requested them yes, I’m talking prior to the protest.

Weeks of protests erupted in the capital this summer following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. While some of the early protests did include looting and damages to local businesses, Bowser never called in the National Guard.
Bowser ordered that the National Guard personnel not be armed when responding to the protests and that they will not perform surveillance, searches or seizures of protesters.
Defense Department officials said Thursday that during planning meetings prior to Jan. 6 led by the Justice Department, city officials and federal law enforcement agencies requested only modest support from the National Guard and did not anticipate large-scale violence. The Pentagon agreed to provide 300 unarmed troops, mostly to help oversee traffic checkpoints and Metro subway stations.
The Pentagon officials said that on Sunday, during a planning meeting, the Defense Department offered the Capitol Police and the city of Washington additional National Guard troops, but were turned down.
Please continue this narrative that it’s because they’re white
On Jan. 6, the Capitol Police, the 2,000-person force whose job is to secure the legislative complex, failed to deploy enough officers to protect the Capitol from rioters, and put them out in regular uniforms instead of riot gear.
That’s because they’re white, not because they didn’t predict the protests to turn violent
not just shot, they would have had entire clips, er excuse me MAGAZINES emptied into them
Look at the trigger discipline here:
Only one bullet fired

Did you see the video she got blasted in the neck and was done right away
if she were black, she would ahve been shot 20 times at least
Yeah just like every other BLM protestor that was shot 20 times
Hurley said in the statement that Wallace was “at least 20 feet away” from the officers and they “shot a dozen shots.”
The black man fatally shot by police in southern Los Angeles on Monday was struck over 20 times, the victim’s family lawyer said Tuesday.
The shooting took place about four miles north of where Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies fatally shot an 18-year-old Latino man 25 times in the back in June in Gardena, use of force that the man’s family contends had been unjustified.
Before Sunday’s game, the Kings released a video with players from both teams calling for accountability and bringing wider awareness to Clark’s death when two Sacramento, California, police officers fired 20 shots at him and killed him in his grandparents’ backyard on March 18.
