Officers seen dancing at BLM rally later stormed Capitol

https://www.yahoo.com/news/officers-seen-dancing-blm-rally-131311151.html

The sergeant proudly noted that he and his officer friend were ‘willing to put some skin in the game.’

Two police officers who once appeared to support Black Lives Matter activists in their rural Virginia town have been revealed to be among the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6.

Rocky Mount Police Sergeant Thomas Robertson and Officer Jacob Fracker were charged just a week after the deadly insurrection that resulted in five people dead by the end of the day.

As previously reported, Robertson and Fracker were placed on administrative leave after they were photographed inside the building in front of a statue of General John Stark. One was pointing while the other was making an obscene gesture.

“I can protest for what I believe in and still support your protest for what you believe in,” adding, “After all, I fought for your right to do it.”

Did we deploy the military against anyone trying to suppress our "rights" lately?

Their actions make their ideology plain as day. For instance, when “patriotic demonstrators” stormed into the U.S. Capitol January 6, 2021, they, in actuality, were fascists working to overthrow an election.
