(2,260 posts)No hurt feelings about gassing and shooting at peaceful protestors, apparently, but boo hoo they had to stand up to armed fascists including their buddy cops. Assuming, of course, that they even did that, versus taking selfies or ushering them in.
The few who did their ACTUAL jobs in protecting the capitol should be proud and energized that they finally are being used for a good purpose. It sucks that they were badly led and MISled, and that they have had to work alongside such scum. As for that large crop of bad apples in the department, fu** their fee-fees.

(1,626 posts)I have watched hours of videos. They all in all did and incredible job faced with overwhelming odds.
Even the Selfie photo clip I am not sure was the guy joining in, but may have been just doing what he could to keep some decorum in the middle of a mob that vastly outnumbered him. Sure bad optics at a minimum.
One clip that looks damming is the apparent officer waiving in crowds from there the outer metal low barriers were first knocked down. If he is doing what it looks like, he need serious jail time.

Then they'll feel better about themselves.
