@realcaseyrollins It seemed obvious to me that the capitol police treatment of the people is what led to the riots. Especially if you watch the video of the police's treatment of the crowd prior to them storming them.
@freemo that's interesting! I never looked at the footage that closely

@realcaseyrollins they were beating the crowd with their batons even though they were behind the barriers. At one point you can see a cop pull a person over from the other side of the barrier, drag them into an open space and then beat him, even after he was cuffed.. yoiu hear the crowd chanting in disgust things like "We should do that to you!".. this was all just a few minutes before they surged and broke through the barriers.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins you see, the logic goes: all cops are bastards, except when they are within 1,000m of the Capitol building, when they magically transform into heroes of democracy.
