6. Didn't think the Capitol Police did "that shit" either

There are many huge anti-American/pro trump groups like the "Oath Keepers"; The Proud Boys; The Groyper Army; The Boogaloo Bois; The Last Sons of Liberty; DC Under Siege. etc; who appear to have a lot of ex-military in their ranks.

So, I'm a bit cynical when the US Military assures us that they don't "do that shit". I want to believe them, because I believe in the honor & patriotism of our troops.. but now, well, I just don't know any more.

Personally, because I definitely underestimated #TraitorTrump, much of this treasonous insurrection caught me off guard - in fact I am still in shock and I guess I am now just expecting the worst - which is, no doubt, one of their 'loftier' goals.

P.S. This just in: (CNN)A US Secret Service officer is under investigation after accusing lawmakers of treason and sharing conspiracy theories about the election on social media, according to The Washington Post who obtained images of the comments.
