The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

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.
