Only SS had guns, I believe.

A Secret Service agent shot Ashley Babbitt?

This is why this shit does not make sense:


I mean, why would the geniuses who think this is necessary, not have the intelligence to not put shields^TM in place for just such an event?

Tarps anyone?

It looks like it really does pay to support Trump.

This is ironic, since many modern researchers have criticisms against Special Relativity.

And by "many" you mean a few people who you cherry picked quotes from, as is your common dishonest tactic.
Your source is your own Wiki which is a box set of that cherry picking. Meanwhile, back in the real world

Special relativity and quantum mechanics are two of the most widely accepted models of how our universe works.

If a cop is intimidated for his life, he has a weapon to use. The discharge of a weapon did, in fact, turn back the crowd.

The Capitol Police are there to protect the Capitol and allowing a mob into the premise to get at the VIPs is seriously unacceptable. I sincerely doubt that honk or Lord Dave believe what they claim, or would think that it's okay for perimeter police to let a mob into the Harris White House to get at President Kamala Harris. This is an obvious Liberal LARP, in which one attempts to argue the leftist justification position no matter what and makes poor arguments for internet liberal points.

The members of Congress had been evacuated from the Capitol fairly quickly, so at a certain point the police probably figured that it was better to let the protesters in and allow them to damage the building rather than put their own lives at risk by starting a fight that they had no chance of winning. I don't know what you're talking about by claiming that discharging a weapon was what deterred the crowd. There was no one specific thing that stopped the protest. Like I said, the events of the day lasted several hours, long past the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, and the protest wasn't brought to a full end until reinforcements with riot gear who were actually equipped to physically deal with large numbers of unruly people cleared the last of the protesters out. From the perspective of the cops originally on the scene, taking out their guns and shooting the protesters could have very easily gotten themselves killed, and if it hadn't, might have led to them being vilified and/or prosecuted as murderers. I also don't know what your musing about Kamala Harris being the president has to do with any of this.

If one intimidated cop opened a door for an entering protester (which I think is untrue) would that stop the event being a riot, an insurrection, an attempt by a mob to overthrow the Constitution?

And I don't think they let the mob in, but they were powerless to stop said mob.  100:1 odds never go over well.

This is supposed to be a discussion about the big orange man-baby, so can you two just get a room.  If he has any moral compass whatever A80 will pick up the tab.

LD, I appreciate your "expert," [/sarcasm] analysis from over 5000 miles away, while you cannot even get Twitter to work.

One more time. You lose. I win.

Like I said, got twitter working and saw the video.  But why was he Handuffed? 
Face it, I win, you're living a lie.

I have no problem believing that at a certain point, the police probably just gave up trying to physically stop the participants. The events of the day lasted several hours, remember. To demand that every cop should have been spending every second of that time actively trying to physically stop the participants - which is exactly what's being implied when you present cherry-picked moments of cops not actively trying to physically stop the protestors and insist that it's indicative of a setup - just isn't reasonable.

Especially when you're outnumbered 100:1
