1/ Far right wingers took assault rifles into the MI state capitol and the police did nothing; legislature even caved and cancelled their session. Trump actually said the governor “should make a deal with them.”

2/ Protests over the George Floyd murder have led to unprovoked rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets sent into crowds of peaceful protesters. The role of the police is to protect the Constitutional rights of peaceful protesters - not attack or intimidate them. Everyone be safe.

That's what I've been told.
You clearly have not read A People's History of the United States otherwise you would know exactly what the role of the cops is #slavepatrol #protectcapital

Unprovoked? Did you watch anything or just drink too much Kool-Aid today?

Does that include the constitutional rights of peaceful protesters to carry assault rifles?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The thing is: I haven't seen any videos of where peaceful protesters are tear gassed. I have seen police allow looters to go free, however. Is it possible those reports of cops tear gassing innocent protesters are false reports from Russian bots on social media, causing trouble?

have the police ever done that outside of events like the women's march that stood no chance of accomplishing anything?
