Because police dont offer "protection". The police acted exactly as expected... It follows the pattern they've been doing for decades. Protect white suppremacy and fascists.

I saw a video of the police opening the gate, they didn't have to work hard at storming the capital building. My favorite was the police officer taking selfies with a protestor trying to "storm" the door

What's wrong is that the US police is underfunded. Clearly the police need more money. A lot more money. Snark aside, the US is looking like Maidan coup Ukraine now. Bought & paid for politicians, billionaires looting & asset stripping at full speed, and the people impoverished.

The White supremacist system the country was founded on is being upheld.

When we marched in DC there were snipers on fire escapes and on top of buildings looking through the sites of their weapons as we peacefully marched. With surveillance videos everywhere as soon as you hit the beltway. They were let in. #AbolishPolice

its not like they didn't know this was about to happen.

Marianne, the Capitol Police are enabling the obstruction of lawful certification of election results. Here they are letting the protestors in the security parameter. They're in support of the coup.

It wasn’t a Black Lives Matter rally, that’s why.

Same way you don’t see Peter Parker when Spider-Man’s around 🤔

This was an inside planned event on behalf of Trump's ego. Nothing will come of this political theater.
