So all 1500 people hit a police officer with a bat?
Most of the time your takes are fair and reasonable, but I can’t take you serious when you say “1500 violent followers”. It’s simply not true. If just even 10% of these so called violent followers were indeed violent there would have been many police injured. There were not. Once the flood gates opened there were just a bunch of dumbasses walking around the capital acting like they were drunk high school kids on a field trip. If we want to be honest and talk about true violence, let’s talk about the George Floyd Riots.
“Looting and arson were common during the period studied. The 68 cities and counties reported that they experienced 2,385 incidents of looting and 624 incidents of arson, including 97 police vehicles burned.
More than 2,035 law enforcement officers were injured at the protests and riots during the time frame studied. The most common weapon used by the rioters against officers in the reporting cities and counties were thrown projectiles, including rocks, bricks, glass bottles, and frozen water bottles. The report says violent protesters often used a front line of peaceful protesters as human shields while they assaulted officers with thrown objects.”
And nearly 20 people lost their lives!
And guess what
Jack Shit was done about it
All in the name of social justice bullshit.
You're right, there weren't 1500 violent followers. There were only about 600 who were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding LEO. At least 140 cops were assualted by Trump's rioters using firearms, stun guns, tasers, crowbars, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a knife, a massive ‘Trump’ billboard, ‘Trump’ flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device.
According to U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly: “Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021. What occurred that day is preserved for the future through thousands of contemporaneous videos, transcripts of trials, jury verdicts, and judicial opinions analyzing and recounting the evidence through a neutral lens. Those records are immutable and represent the truth, no matter how the events of January 6 are described by those charged or their allies.”
Any unauthorized person who was in the Capitol building that day was there in support of President Trump and those who were violent. And now, because of the pardons/commutations, all these people who committed crimes against the United States of America are back on the streets.
