And they would have never been pardon. So one can say with certainty that if January 6, would’ve been committed by Black people, there would have been guns used to protect the Capitol. We can’t dismiss the race factor no matter if it just a hypothetical.

But that just perpetuates the division between the races. Angela Davis was found not guilty of murder by an all white jury. A jury of 11 whites in the south convicted the men of murdering Ahmaud Arbery. So many were so sure that the south is still as racist as it was 50 yrs ago. We need to see

But you are talking about court cases, not an insurrection that would’ve took over the capital and killed many of our representatives. It’s not causing division but stating multiple factors that would have caused a different outcome. We can’t dismiss the man in the White House

and his hatred towards people of color. We have many white people that in a court case dismissed the charges. This was a scenario of the insurrection that occurred on January 6 not outcomes that happened in court cases. You are charging all the factors on the comment.

I can agree with you that they wouldn’t have been pardoned. Officer Falone would have been justified in using his gun when he was being attacked and tased, but he didn’t. A shot fired would have only escalated the situation. That goes for pretty much any type of attack of that multitude regardless

That I agree with you about that, if one shot by the police had been fired, the people that had guns on that day would have started shouting back and it would have been a disaster. You still have to agree that 47 wouldn’t have sent in the National Guard, because he wanted to stop the the counting

But the man in the White House isn’t the cop in front of you. Look how Republicans treated the Capitol Police after the insurrection. No thank you’s. Didn’t like the plaque that acknowledged their bravery or service that day. Those police were of all races and ethnic backgrounds. People weren’t shot

47 is the one that called for January 6th, people just didn’t show up to protest. He called for an insurrection to take over the country, and the MAGA showed up to do his bidding. So it was the man in the White House that caused everything. We are now straying away from the initial comment.

by police in the George Floyd protests. The white cops were convicted of killing George Floyd. I get tired of hearing, well if it was a black person, or a female, or a gay person the outcome would have been different. It’s as if we can’t get over the past and are still keeping it alive.

I feel you’re living in a fantasy world. racism has always been around and always will be. This is nothing new, It was around when I was a child and it’s still around today. Hate against gay ms are on the rise m, women are being treated like they have no rights. So to dismiss racism is like

Putting blinders on and only looking at everything with a narrow view of the country. We have a lot of wonderful people that can put aside differences, but we have a portion of people that are unable to. Can I ask are you watching the executive orders that 47 is putting in place?

people as individuals first and not a stereotype or preconceived notion. Focusing on any perceived slight or disrespect. Not everything is racist or misogynistic or done with intention. If you show respect you will usually get respect in return. I don’t like an injustice regardless of race or gender

The police at the Capital had guns and the situation would have prevented them from being used regardless of race. The only time you saw them was when members of Congress were present. Their first responsibility is to protect those members.

Counting the electoral college. That was the whole reason for the insurrection. You just created another scenario. If it was people of color the National Guards would have been called in and they would have protected congress with everything they had. You have to remember 47 was the one that

Created this situation, 47 called for these people to show up to do this. If people of color would have shown up to protest you have to say the outcome would have been different. You also have to realize 47 is the one dividing the people, it’s not the people creating the division.
