bunch hypocritical display of mourning??? The officers who assisted REQUIRE the most SEVERE prosecution including the death penalty tying them all to murder charges as under the law EVERY person who participated can be charged with murder

I you hadn’t been letting your nazi-bros through, maybe that officer would be alive right now. They should all be fired. Those who can be shown on video to have been genuinely working to protect the capitol can ask for their jobs back. Oh, their badges and faces were covered? Oops. Guess you don’t get your job back after all.

If they can't be shown on video doing they're jobs, " they should all be fired"?
Um, no. In this country, It's "innocent until proven guity", not the reverse.
I'd suggest you "cry a river" for your blatant stereotyping and lack of compassion.

Get over your self-righteousness and go watch some videos of cops en made just milking as traitors break through. Go educate yourself.

You fire a police force that takes selfies with terrorists, pats them on the back, gives them a smile and a not when terrorists flash a police or military badge, or just do nothing. The entire department is rotten to the core. Full stop.

Pot call the kettle black much?

Educate yourself, honey, and learn to think CRITICALLY, beyond lazy stereotypes.

For the benefit of people who have not been to the U.S. Capitol, it's a big place. There are entrances all over. It's possible for an officer to be at one location on Capitol grounds and not be aware of an ongoing situation somewhere else on Capitol grounds.

Thank you for your expertise.

They aided and abetted the terrorists and now pretend to be sad that one of their own was killed by these exact same people they were mollycoddling. - fuck every single nazi there, they caused this if they didn't take steps to try and stop it the minute it happened.

Seriously. Who?.. Everyone there wearing a police uniform?

I absolutely favor a serious investigation into that security fail, but we really DO have to treat people as individuals, not as part of a demonized group -- The latter is what bigots do.

Merrick Garland's FBI is going to hunt for the perps nationwide and charge them with murder.
