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.
