As many of us watched in disbelief Wednesday as Trump supporters seized The U.S. Capital one would have to wonder do these people have a job? Especially since it looked as though an awful lot of people were either unemployed, on vacation, working from home or using PTO. For those that are working from home because of the pandemic or called off it probably wasn’t a good idea to have taken historical photos for the scrap book, getting in the view of someone live streaming or accidentally photo bombing someone right before they hit post on that selfie because not only could that post possibly get you identified and arrested it could possibly get you fired.
Allegedly social media trollers say they identified A Cleveland Metropolitan School District occupational therapist 49-year-old Christine M. Priola as a woman in a picture during the D.C. riot posted by both the FBI and D.C. Police Department, then shortly after she was pointed out she resigned. Read More

White Terrorists Safely Taking Siege Of Capitol Highlights Policing Double Standard, Twitter Reacts
[caption id="attachment_939011" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: Jon Cherry / Getty[/caption] Today (Jan. 6), Donald Trump supporters, in this case also terrorists since they’re on in the same, were able to stroll into the Capitol in Washington as Congress was certifying the electoral votes that mean Joe Biden will take office on Jan. 20. As a Black man, watching the obvious double standard in how white people are policed versus people of color, today’s circus of political struggle was infuriating. https://twitter.com/NoahCaine/status/1346911883698135041 [caption id="attachment_939010" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: Caroline Brehman / Getty[/caption] Almost immediately, the contrast was striking. While the protests after the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, as just one example, in 2020 were marred with suspect arrests and the brutalization of protesters, Trump’s flunkies were able to stroll into the Capitol wears America’s elected officials were convening. These terrorists were met with little resistance and soon enough were dispersed throughout the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to shelter in place in their offices as if a gunman was on the loose. Social media was soon enough littered with photos and video of MAGA acolytes trespassing in the offices of people like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as rioters also broke windows and waved the Confederate Flag in the building. https://twitter.com/_matorma/status/1346927231264845824 Nevertheless, the police seemed to do their absolute best not to put hands on protesters. Many immediately noted that if these were people of color “protesting” they’d sure be catching batons upside their head, or worse. Pick any large Black Lives Matter protest this is obvious. The jig was particularly noted on Twitter, with hashtags like #whiteprivilege and #amerikkka trending that highlighted the obvious difference in policing tactics when it’s Black people peacefully protesting. Throughout the day, hundreds of the rioters committed federal crimes. But reportedly, only 13 people were actually arrested while the entire world witnessed all types of trespassing and vandalizing property, at least. Perhaps the biggest show of disrespect to many (like say people have to worry about if they’ll make it home if a cop pulls them over), was the footage of what looked like a member of SWAT helping a “protester” in a Trump hat down the Capitol steps while gently holding her hand. https://twitter.com/MikaylaCorean/status/1346972469492654084 Son. Peep more of the outrage and head-scratching (but not really) police behavior below. Whether you say “defund” or “reform” how the authorities deal with its citizens through the lens of systemic racism must be addressed, expeditiously. https://twitter.com/diorinblush/status/1346930131491639296

Protest Rages At The U.S. Capitol
[caption id="attachment_1891854" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty[/caption] Today, January 6, 2021 crowds gather for the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, DC. Trump supporters gathered from all over in the nation’s capital today to protest the ratification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory over President Trump in the 2020 election. Hundreds of supporters boarded buses from places like Boston, MA to see impeached US President Trump on the Washington Mall to take part in the protest and rallies in the district. This is a result of the anger of the Trump supporters as Joe Biden’s Democratic Party took a giant step Wednesday towards seizing control of the US Senate as they won the first of two Georgia run-offs, hours before Congress was set to certify the president-elect’s victory over Donald Trump. Amongst the photos below, a man calls for the storming of the US Capitol building and many took on the challenge. Demonstrators were breached by security and entered the Capitol as Congress debated the 2020 presidential election Electoral Vote Certification. There is a high emphasis on the safety of the residents and employees in D.C. We urge you to continue to stay home. The Capital and House of Representatives have been put on lockdown. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1346889008652156941
