Interesting new documentation.
The mindset of the police on January 5th shows a huge blind spot to Right Wing terrorism. I'd like to think it was a wakeup call but I'm not convinced that it was the lesson that they managed to take from the experience.

They don't have a blindspot so much as they are actively in favor of right wing terrorists because right wing terrorists and the police ultimately serve the same cause.

What cause is that?

Maintaining a rigid social hierarchy.

Also there's like...a pretty big overlap in the "Police" and "Right Wing Terrorist" venn diagram, to the extent that police unions actively refuse to investigate white supremacy within their ranks.

The irony being January 6th was the biggest net gain for the police's reputation they could have got because the police did prevent a massacre and suffered casualties in the process of doing so.

One thing I have wondered about for the years about cops and 'social heirarchy' is the location of the cops and where the cops themselves came from.

Still continuing with this idea that there would have been a massacre huh? I guess you have to. Trump hasn't said he won't run in 2024 yet

What do you get out of pretending the armed mob with intent to kill wasn't an armed mob with intent to kill? It's not like they can do anything to help Boris Johnson.

The dead cops and chasing down politicians in a riot kind of point to it.
What did you THINK would happen if a mob storms a place?
