That a mob of psychotic cultist insurrectionists attacked the capitol and the police just ... stood by, got out of the way, and let them do whatever they wanted... is something that SHOULD change how potentially violent right wing protesters are treated by police.
Should.
But probably won't.
Meanwhile, despite that, thankfully the insurrectionists have been stopped and we are now one day closer to Biden becoming president on the 20th. I hope that before then the cabinet invokes article 25 to temporarily remove Trump from power; he can say 'no I'm fine' but that process will take longer than the two weeks he has remaining. There must be consequences for supporting isurrection against the government, even if you are leading said government, and the President is the primary person responsible for inciting the cultists to action.
