“Here Are the Seven Men Shot in the Head by Capitol Police on January 6, 2021 Without Warning – VIDEO and PHOTOS
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/video-pho...A new video was released recently depicting the seven men and Trump supporters who were shot in the head without warning by Capitol Police on January 6, 2021.
According to earlier reports, Capitol Police Inspector Thomas Loyd Jr. ordered police to fire on the unsuspecting Trump supporters.
There is now video that shows the Trump supporters were not acting violently and had no idea they police were about to start firing rubber bullets at their heads.
David Sumrall, private investigator and founder of StopHate.com obtained all the footage of the Capitol “insurrection” at the start of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s unprecedented probe of Americans who protested the stolen election in the nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/video-pho...You cannot deny the actual footage and the spoon fed lies Biden and democrats fed you, but
go ahead, the democrat cult has its zombie members brainwashed.
I hope on Day One President Trump pardons the falsely imprisoned protesters releasing them from jail with more J6 footage and lies revealed to the public.

We talked about this a year ago already.

Gatewaypundit: conduit for Russian propaganda and rightwing propaganda.
This is the source quoted by LM that featured such gems as “Hillary Clinton and John Podesta lead a pedophile ring that consumes babies in satanic rituals”.
Rubber bullets? Oh the horror.
Apparently, shooting left wing protestors with lead bullets is aok, but shooting right wing assaulters at the Capitol with rubber bullets was a travesty.
Priorities. Priorities…..

Podesta was amazing Chief of Staff.
And such an intense dude.
I actually sat real close to him at a function (back in mid 2000's when I used to count lol) and rarely am I intimidated but his presence.....shit as mildly scary. Seems to have softened up nowadays a bit.

No, we don't. We have no idea where the police were aiming - none of the firing officers appear in frame, and almost all of the folks that were hit were struck by projectiles that travel well through the crowd before striking them. There's no way to determine whether the shots were aimed at them, aimed at someone else, or struck someone else before ricocheting along (three of the seven in the video were a man struck in the back, and then the pellet bouncing onto a second and then third person).
As we discussed in the other thread, by this point the crowd had already broken through several layers of barricades to reach that point. These scenes were on the West Plaza. You can see the walls of the building in frame. The mob has already breached the barricades at the Lower West Terrace, and the police have been reduced to holding back the mob physically with their riot gear. The police responded properly by trying to disperse the crowd, which refused to disperse on their own.

That response by the Capital police, LM, as you well know, was an effort to repel a mob that vastly outnumbered them. The Capital police was obligated to repel that mob for the safety of all the defenseless men and women doing the job they were legally obligated to do in the Capital on that day.
I guess it's no matter to you, LM, how many people were gassed and shot in Lafayette Park for Trump's amusement?
The people in Lafayette Park were peaceful until they were assaulted at Bill Barr's direction for Trump's bloody pleasure stroll/photo with a bible at St John's.
"Minutes before a speech by Trump in the White House Rose Garden, hundreds of officers in riot gear rapidly advanced on the protesters at the direction of Attorney General William Barr. Officers used chemical irritants including tear gas and pepper balls, sting ball grenades, flash grenades, smoke canisters, rubber bullets, riot shields, and batons to disperse the crowd."
Former military leaders, religious leaders, and elected officials from both major political parties condemned Trump for the event, though some of Trump's fellow Republicans defended the actions.[ The event was described as "a burst of violence unlike any seen in the shadow of the White House in generations" and possibly one of the defining moments of the Trump presidency.General Mark A. Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, later apologized for his role in the photo op.
Both the police defense of the Capital and the offense against the people in a park are Trump's fault.

The mob? The “mob” was just standing there when the police were ordered to fire on the “mob”
Did you not watch the video when Inspector Thomas Loyd made motion signs urging the police officers to fire on the innocent protesters and they aimed for their heads?
Did you not see where in the video that was captured a warning sign on the rifle stating do not aim for the head as it can cause blindness or death?
It appears little by little now that footage is being released excessive force
was used by the police officers which no doubt caused the protesters to rebel against the police.

Key word: "MOB."
Holy crap, LM... are you nutz? (rhetorical question). That's a mob determined to push forward....and it did. The Capital Police, vastly outnumbered, were obligated to protect the people doing their jobs inside.
This ain't rocket science, and it certainly isn't Lafayette Park.
It's Trump's fault for instigating that mob such that the Captial Police had to repel the mob.

YES. 'stay focus'. MOB. RIOT. Capitol Police under assault by MOB.
Defending Capital against MOB with non-lethal rubber bullets.
Contrast that to peaceful protesters in the park to which Trump asked Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper,
“Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?”
"Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who worked alongside Donald Trump for a year and a half, publicly declared that the former president is unsuited for public office. Esper went on to agree that Trump represents “a threat to democracy.”

The mob had already broken through several barricades to get to that point. The police were driven to physically interpose their bodies to try to keep them from breaking into the Capitol building. You can see the group pushing against the police line, trying to push aside the police by force - and the police struggling to physically restrain them to keep them from breaking into the Capitol building.
You're looking at only a few seconds of slowed-down footage - and even in that, you can see that the mob (yes, the mob) is trying to break into a federal building and trying to physically shove aside the police that are trying to stop it.
So, no - this wasn't excessive force. The police used appropriate non-lethal tactics to disperse a volatile mob that had already broken through the barriers meant to keep them out of this space. The crowd was clearly in the wrong, the police were clearly in the right.

-----------
Mandate probably is slightly too strong of a description but it does capture Trumps popularity with voters on issues that matter most to voters. Voters in every demographic group voted Trump in increased percentages, some by a little, others groups by a lot, but clearly Trump has demonstrated broad appeal and has broadened the base of the Republican party.

Trump generated that appeal by lying. He fooled the people into electing a rapist, fraud, felon.
Make no mistake about this: they didn't vote for him. They bought his false promises.
I hope I'm wrong, the economists are wrong, the CEOs are wrong, all the people who worked for him and warned us about him are wrong.
Either way, I will not be 'a good German.'

A truly frightening and disgusting thing to contemplate.
But consider how Hitler and Mussolini 'broadened' their base. Does not mean the BASE was right. And they are wrong as hell now in this country.
If we still have anything like factual history in the future, this will NOT be seen as a time of glory for the US. It will only be seen as a time of shame and degradation.

Nope. Nothing worked around the world>/i> with the memory of rising prices. It was much easier on folks here than ROW too. But, we may be about to cross a line. I think if an emergency is fabricated to allow the President to make sweeping changes by EO, say a deportation scheme that is overstepping, and the courts go along with it, that we've crossed into unknown waters.

You have a poor memory Dope. I've never done that. When the discussion comes up, I state I think y'all are proto-fascist, the stage just before full on fascism. You haven't gone that far yet, but I may as well let you know what I think would do it. And please note that the courts need to go along with it. If the court slaps Trump down, then we have an attempt that failed. I also know that you think fabricating an emergency is just fine, and should be done.
