It's not about race. It's about the different ways Trump adversaries vs Trump advocates were characterized. The military presence facing BLM was all part of the tableau.
Every one of these morons need to be tried for treason. I think their messiah will at some point.
I wasn't searching for it, but a video of the woman who was shot came across my Twitter feed. Maybe it's just the lighting, but it sure looks like in a sea of angry white men, the cops somehow found a black woman to shoot. If that's the case, it's....well, not very good optics, to say the least.
I hope she's okay, but the reports do not sound good.

The Capitol Police seem to have cleared the building. But there was a real threat during the initial chaos that arms could have been brought in.
Likely auntyfag anarchist....a number of them photographed multiple locations..
Many police have been injured. A woman was shot. American flags flying atop the Capitol replaced with Trump 2020 flags.
Disgusting Mas-sa-suta-like SCUM running amok.

You mean the Proud Boys who said they were going to dress like Antifa today? I linked the story earlier in this thread.

Why are you making this about race? Most people at BLM riots are white anyways.
I heard an interview from a rioter that was supposedly right beside her and evidently had blood on him. He said she was the first one through and it would have been him if he would have been in front of her.

I responded to your Post 72. It is not correct. It's laughable to tell me that somewhere else on the internet you said something that was correct.
Trump's "rally" was to be held near the White House which is one mile away from the Capitol.. Trump told them to go to the Capitol and "fight." Security for the Capitol was not needed for a rally held at the White House.
I don't know if it's specifically a race issue but there is a reason the LEOs reacted differently to the BLM protests as opposed to this shitshow today. I can't imagine why they didn't think today's crowd was going to form a drum circle and chant.
When the leader of Proud Boys was arrested , I think that might be a clue there were going to be issues. I figured there would be problems, but maybe not until tonight though. The disgusting thing is these guys think THEY are the patriots.

Probably because everybody knew they would happen and this wasn’t as anticipated? It’s hard to have foreseen that Trump would have poured that much gasoline on this.
It’s also highly possible that there are just crappy planners and leaders in the DC police.
But it gets pretty tough to have everything always come down to race, and awfully exhausting.
Hey Mike Braun real nice job representing Indiana today!
I keep asking what are these guys even protesting?
A bad conspiracy theory that's been debunked.
Not for civil rights or for a bad foreign policy decision....its for a lie.
That's the definition of a gullible dumbass.
And the instigator isn't even there, he's watching it from afar.
Words matter.
Rhetoric matters.

So why the difference in reaction by the police. One group faces the 101st, the other Barney Fife? Why?
I watched a documentary on the I Have a Dream speech and march. In it some of the organizers discussed how the rumor was spread among law enforcement that the Blacks were only going to riot because that was all Blacks could do. I would love to think that attitude has changed, but images show otherwise. These groups today haven't hidden that they were capable of far more than a simple protest. Why was that disregarded?
A brief moment of levity in the appalling scenes from DC:
A bunch of heart broke numb skulls. Do you count yourself among them?
I don't disagree. I suspect racial issues resulting in protest differ from political protest only in how far the fuse is from having been lit. However, this political protest has been brewing for a while. Agree DC/Capitol police should have been better prepared for it.
