    The Capitol cops beat the hell out of innocent J6 protesters, and the videos are finally coming out. […] The cops should be charged and the protesters should be freed."

    Funny how when it was BLM vs the cops, they were cheering for the cops to murder more black people because they were uppity for challenging the status quo.

      That’s how it’s supposed to be, and why this is such a challenge for the political Right. For them, the cops are allies, and it was incomprehensible that they would put up any opposition at all.

      By and large this has always been the case, the the police are guardians of order and the primacy of capital, and that’s the side the Right is almost always on, so it’s understandable how precedent would have led them to believe that it’d always be the case.

      And they were shocked and hurt to find out that it wasn’t.

      For the record, they feel the same way about the military.
