The more time that passes, and the more that Tucker MAGA types keep trying to spin vicious lies about what happened on January 6, further emboldening the likes of Trump and other white supremacists to engage in future violence, the more I'm sadly convinced that Capital police officers should have opened fire early, and decisively.
The second a single insurrectionist crossed the threshold of the building or tried to get in through a window they should have been mowed down until the insurectionists were held at bay.
Had these been minority protestors, they would have been shot the second they breached the barricades which is absolutely indisputable.
Yes more police officers may have died as a result, but on the other hand, shooting Babit was pretty damn effective in temporarily stopping the onslaught.
An insurectionist is trying to overthrow the government by definition. When they were treated with kid gloves, it was the exact same thing as letting Trump skate on his attempted coup which has indisputably egged him on to try again. He's not even hidding it.
An insurection should be met with the level of state violence that an insurection deserves.
Next time what? Insurectionists will be allowed to sack the Whitehouse? SCOTUS? Why stop there? Pentagon?
These traitors openely attacked a centrepiece of the United States government. They should havve been met with the full force of said government.
