If this isn't an argument for MASSIVE police reform, I don't know what is.

The difference in their behavior between this, and the BLM protests is mind-boggling.

We need Congressional hearings.

Heads need to roll. BIG TIME. Any Capital cop caught posing with terrorists, needs to be fired.

there is a toxic culture in many places and firing one or two people won't do anything. We have to take out the top guy and all his lieutenants.
