    2020 protests proved that mayors could not control their police, who often ignored orders and legal requirements

    they held the mayor of NYC's daughter hostage and nobody talks about it. If it wasn't for the cop ran pedo house that was accidentally found in Milwaukee, it'd be the craziest shit from 2020 we just pretend didn't matter

    January fourth wasn’t a coup at all, it was just a pig day on strike. They let their friends in to terrorize the nerdy congressmen to remind them who wields power.

    I would disagree with this to an extent because the moment that tailgate got too close to a member of congress, they dump a mine's worth of lead into a woman. Especially with the fact it was organized by a FBI informant, and how it's been used politically, I think it's much more likely to be an inside job that justifies the police after a year of them showing that they are just the gestapo. But both get us to the same place so it's a pedantic difference.

      True Capitol Police are kind of a different entity than the police at large, I’m not entirely sold on my own theory about that particular event. Does seem like there was spook shit going with the airforce psyops officers leading a charge as well.

      My overall point stands though, I think people (at least mainstream discourse) vastly overestimate how much power politicians and bureaucrats wield and vastly underestimate that of capital, the legal machine, the thumb class of copoids and prison guards & the spooks. It seems the former groups get blamed for everything bad about government.

      that was secret service, not capitol pigs. also he only shot babbit once, he didn't dump a mine's worth a led into her. i've seen the footage. i think it's funny though, that it was enough to stop them dead in their tracks. if they really wanted to keep going through those doors they could have. that secret service guy would have run out of ammo pretty quick.

          no worries. i find it interesting that capitol pigs let them in but then secret service was willing to use lethal force. It really shows you that the so called "deep state" isn't even all that coordinated

      Did anything end up happening with that Milwaukee stuff? I remember watching it happen and then the building burning down under mysterious circumstances.

        nope, might as well just never happened, and if you bring it up, most liberals will talk to you like you just said infowars shit

      That wasn't the DC Police, that was the US Capitol Police. IDK if it matters, but different departments with different focuses.

      I don't think the cops understood that the mob would turn on them. They really believed the back the blue shit. But then I have no idea what was happening on the ground vs what was being decided at the strategic level, what level of cooperation there was between departments, and who might have got hung out to dry for plausible deniability.
