Trump shared a call for Capitol Hill police who "beat the hell out of innocent J6 protesters" to face criminal charges.

From the party of “Back the Blue!”

…except when it benefits us to roll them right under the bus.

      it’s always that way with that group.

      we demand freedom! no not like that.

      we support the police! no not like that.

      etc.

    I’m not a big cop fan, but the Capitol Hill police were always awesome when I was there. Patient, helpful, professional–you got to know them checking in and out of buildings all the time. I think it being a small group with a really focused and constant assignment might remove some of the crazier bullshit you might find in a bigger city department, for example. There aren’t words for how shameful this is.

    And I wanted a .50 cal on the steps mowing down every Trump supporter within eye sight.

    We don’t always get what we want.

      I’ve said it from the beginning and frankly I don’t think people realize how true it is. They were incredibly lucky that a mob of people actively attacking congress wasn’t shot dead to a man.

      Not that I think that would have actually been the best outcome, frankly I think that would have started an outright civil war and nobody wins that (not to mention that many innocent people almost certainly would have been caught up in it in the moment itself. But it very, very easily could have been.

        The lady that climbed trough the window and got shot actually saved a lot of lives because had they managed to break down the door as a group, everyone remotely close to the door would have been killed.

        The one thing that mob did right was to leave their guns in their trucks (possibly only because they wouldn’t have been allowed into the area otherwise - I’m curious if any of them tried and were turned back before they even reached the protest zone). Had one of them brandished a firearm, the story of that day would have been quite different.

    Suggest that they also charge police who beat the hell out of innocent BLM protestors and watch their heads explode.
