    Are you referring to insurrectionist Ashli “Traitor” Babbitt?

    While some have attempted to turn her into a martyr the truth is she, and the others around her, were doing something very illegal. And if they had all been non-white individuals they would have met with far more persuasive force than a few capitol police officers as was demonstrated with the BLM marches.

      It’s funny when supporters of the attack try to say that they were unfairly brutalized by police, like we didn’t watch endless clips or witness directly people pummeled by the police for weeks for substantially less.

        And that these are the same people with back the blue bumper stickers and blue line flags.

        Oh wait i forgot that is only to show they support maintaining the status quo of systemic injustice and murder being carried out against minorities by people with qualified immunity.
