re: #59 thedopefishlives

I’ve been skeptical of your takes for most of the afternoon, but on this we agree. I’m trying to tone down the language because, really, the facts aren’t on the table yet. We know a fairly large crowd of white people broke into the Capitol. We know the police weren’t able to offer effective resistance. We know some people got hurt. The rest is up to investigation.

I will add only that we know they didn’t offer effective resistance. I’m still inclined to blame stupidity. They failed to escalate when they should have, for whatever reason. (I’m inclined to think it’s because they tend to think these guys are their friends, a serious error.)
