So that's it? Cops never felt threatened? Cops never felt hamstrung in their ability to do their jobs? It's just that they never felt threatened?
I don't think so.Im talking specifically about the cops at the Capitol building.
Why are they different?
Because some other police forces last summer faced the most "under the microscope" clashes with protesters ever. (Mass protests against police being filmed by thousands of smartphone cameras in the frontlines)
I don't think the police at the capitol building have really ever had to deal with holding back throngs of people.
It was probably bewildering the first time this happened (in recent history).
I think they have similar pay scales, similar social standing, and similar solidadarity.

Everybody already knows that Biden is a punk
He's a little old to be a punk don't you think? Nevertheless I guess given his racial profile, he doesn't qualify either for the "two-bit thug" euphemism used here at one time.

Yes I understand the "two bit thug" thing in relation to its racism within American culture. I get it, you think those who use the term are racist. Good job, Canadian. You get it. When I say Biden is a punk, it has more to do with general human experience. He's a puppet, at this stage of his life. Enjoy.

Punk is a pretty good word choice.
He likes to play the tough guy. But a good slap would turn him inside-out, he is an old man.
An old man like that shouldn't act tough, it is pathetic.
Except maybe Mr. Stallone or Mr. Norris.
Lad, never mess with an old man. They don't fight, they kill.

It's hard to imagine people turning their back on him like this when he's so selflessly inspired such loyalty from his closest colleagues for the last four years.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Personally ever regarded him as a politician. The primary process, in which I never had anything to do, selected him as a choice between him and Hillary Clinton. I am a gambler at heart. I knew Hillary. Not so much Trump. I still don't hate the guy, sorry. I actually still like him.

I don't think I ever liked him very much.
But I think he did a terrific job as president.
I'll never understand most of the negative stuff. I just never saw it come from him. I saw the cnn commentators' stuff and all the sick twisted stuff posted here, but I didn't see it come from him.
I did hear that private conversation of locker room talk from 17 years ago that he apologized for over and over hundreds of times. I understand that some people just can't abide locker-room talk in a private conversation between two men.

You wrote: "Yes I understand the "two bit thug" thing in relation to its racism within American culture. I get it, you think those who use the term are racist. "The main thing is that you get it. That's really all that matters; as they say, awareness is the first step.

If only the Capitol hadn't been largely unguarded. Now how the heck did that ever happen?
That, my friend, is the good question.
Please don’t tell me that you two think there was some sort of conspiracy to allow the people into the Capital building?

Somehow or other, this invasion of the bearded knobheads was the fault of the Democrats. You can count on it!
