I was getting food after listening to Trump speak, by the time i got near the capitol we had alresdy heard flashbangs going off. When we got closer there was more of exactly this, they shot into the crowd indiscriminately with flashbangs and tear gas, then pepper sprayed the crowd along the barriers. Not at specific threats, just generally at the crowd. At the time we thought it was super ridiculous, i literally said they shouldnt poke the bear, people werent doing anything and the quickest way to make a friendly crowd upset is attack them for no reason. In hind sight that was the exact plan they had for the day. They were trying to provoke a retaliation. It wasnt about crowd control it was about whipping up a response from a friendly crowd.
I wouldn't call the crowd "friendly". How about we call them "mostly peaceful"... kek j/k... seriously, I think "non-violent" is a better word. No one in that crowd was in a friendly mood, at least not towards our failure of a Congress. They just weren't ready to actually riot. They wanted to be heard.
You're right though its clear the police attacked them to purposely rile them up.
Yea I agree. We werent happy. But we werent there in opposition to the cops for sure. I went to show my President i supported him. I went to show our representatives I cared. I actually left my family at home because last DC event Antifa attacked people as they separated and I just assumed they would again. Little did we know Antifa would be there, just dressed like us. Funny how there wasnt antifa attacking patriots.....for once. That is telling in and of itself. I wasnt there to be friendly but we didnt go to riot or loot or burn anything. And I sure as hell didnt go to fight with the cops. I just wanted to be there and also to actually see the truth happen because we know that was is said and reported isnt it. You make good points though, I agree
They wanted us to revolt. I think Trump got wind of it a little late but that’s why he had us stand down. They were prepared for it. Probably would have been a massacre, or if not, the retaliation would have been.
Who's the "cop" in the photo? Is it really a cop or an FBI or some other agent dressed up as one? He's the only one without a helmet, something suspicious about that.
Sad part of this article is a little misinformation. The article states “this is your government declaring war on its people.” In no way this was our government. It was an out of control group who was trying to escalate this situation.
I was there. 25 minutes after Trump finished the speech, they were shooting teargas at us. Totally uncalled for
Yes. I was there, too. I can also attest to your statement.
me 2 was there @ 7 am on the other side. They were looking for a fight, egging it on first...

I was there and saw this happen. The Capitol thugs were trying to escalate & get us to become violent.
Gee, I wonder if THEY were the ones who really wanted to incite a riot, between firing on the crowd and the Babbitt "shooting".

Fat Communist pig
The standing army the Founders warned us about.
Those canisters are also heavy and can birt you if they even hit you in the head.

They were not out of control. They were following their plan.
Good cops are only as good as what they tolerate out of their coworkers, unfortunately.
When they tolerate bad cops in their ranks (NOT if), they are as bad as the bad cops.
There are NO GOOD COPS - period.
