Ehh, things heated up after they brought in more forces. They continued to escalate on protestors through the night. I believe they were bullying elderly protestors too, which is not new for these Gestapo.

People were really riled up after the capitol murdered (not concerned with any theories about Ashley in this conversation that we can examine after the fact, what matters was in the moment) and after we saw people knocked off railing and such.

So when the gas canisters and pepper sprays were coming out and the people were being herded more efficiently than any BLM protest, I can see pussies adding those numbers.
