Never knew the Bee Gee’s were with an apostrophe.

I wonder how much restraint the cops would have shown if it happened to be a mob of black people that was attacking the Capitol.Just watched that film. Shocking, moving, extraordinary.
A number of things occur to me:
1. The bravery and restraint of those police officers was very impressive.
2. The rioters were all complete shits, convincing themselves that they were saving democracy when they were doing the precise opposite.
3. I do not know much about the psychology of demagoguery or how they convince whole cadres of people to believe total rubbish and act accordingly. History has thrown up many demagogues but Trump is the worst of the lot since he had so much power to do good but the leader of the free world chose to do evil.
4. The republican reps lost all moral standing when they stood to oppose the certification of the election. Their democratic duty was to do the opposite.
5. We should always be on our guard to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.
Hmmm..food for thought.I wonder how much restraint the cops would have shown if it happened to be a mob of black people that was attacking the Capitol.

Agreed and under the circumstances they handled the situation with restraint very much delayed as much as possible. Waiting for backup.That’s a weird take.
It was a pure numbers game. The police knew loads of those mad twats would’ve been armed themselves.
You are correct. It would have been a bloodbath on both sides.That’s a weird take.

I think the point is that it seems incredible that a protest from a black or other minority group would have left the police force so hopelessly outnumbered.
It’s all what ifs now, but with Trump at the helm still, it would seem unlikely.
