As people watched President Donald Trump's supporters storm the Capitol building in Washington, DC, they noticed a difference in how the police, media, and the whole USA, in general, reacted to it when compared to the Black Lives Matter protests last year.

So they turned to social media to point out that the demonstrations back then—which broke out across the country in response to police killings of unarmed Black people, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—were often met with a brutal response from law enforcement, including the use of tear gas and physical violence.

Colin Kaepernick is a national treasure and deserves nation wide vindication NOW. Also.. It’s interesting how racism shows up on a person. The guy fighting for justice is healthy and whole. The terrorist is sick looking and out of shape. Sick mind, sick body.

It's worth noting that the BLM protests weren't calm and friendly, too. "The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism, and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims — eclipsing the record set in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the police officers who brutalized Rodney King," Axios writes.

They got these numbers from a company called Property Claim Services (PCS) that has tracked insurance claims related to civil disorder since 1950. It classifies anything over $25 million in insured losses as a "catastrophe," and reports that the 2020 unrest (from May 26 to June 8) will cost the insurance industry far more than any prior one.

Plus, the protests related to George Floyd's death are also different because they are so widespread.

An informal article by Forbes shows that there were at least 19 reported deaths during this period as well.

    Right wingers should be forever barred from using the term "Personal Responsibility" against people they don't ever again. There is no denying that the garbage who support Trump and Trump himself is responsible for this sedition. Yet wing nuts won't just own their own behavior and actions. Instead they try to blame anyone else. Right now they're claiming it's "antifa" who pulled some kind of false flag operation. If they believed their own bullshit they would be calling for mass arrests of those involved. As usual wing nuts can't even make up their minds. When confronted with the fact that these criminals are Trump supporters they call them "patriots". When they see how much Americans disapprove of what they did suddenly they aren't Trump Supporting Patriots any more, but they're "antifa".

    Wow someone has a lot of hate in their heart. Even though they were wrong in what they did. They feel like they're not being heard, just like BLM and every other group out there that congress and the senate don't bother to listen to because they only want to push their own personal agenda. We need to come together and change the fact that the people representing us are not listening to any of us.

    You're missing the big picture here. When BLM did what they did, they were met with pepper spray and rubber bullets. When the Proud Boys did the exact same, the police held their hands. It's the hypocrisy and the favoritism. The racism. This reminds me of when the cops took Dylan Roof out for burgers after he shot up a black church.

    President-elect Joe Biden described Wednesday's events as "one of the darkest days in the history of our nation" and blamed President Trump for stoking violence. He added it was "totally unacceptable" police had shown more leniency than in Black Lives Matter protests last year.

    Washington DC's top prosecutor has not ruled out the possibility that President Trump himself could be investigated over the Capitol riot.

    The acting attorney general for the District of Columbia, Michael Sherwin, said "all actors" will be looked at.

    When asked if this included Trump, Sherwin responded: "We're looking at all actors here and anyone that had a role and, if the evidence fits the elements of the crime, they’re going to be charged."

    The president had urged his supporters at a rally outside the White House to march on Congress while pushing unfounded claims of electoral fraud, however, when events began to spiral out of control, he asked them to "remain peaceful".

    Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, called the breach of the U.S. Capitol by Pro-Trump protesters "a coup attempt."

The violence that happened later at night was not the BLM protesters. Were there riots? Yes. But it was not the BLM people. Oh, and guess what Youtubeistrash? There were trump supporters there stirring up trouble. I WATCHED as they came out of the crowd, and jumped in their pickup with their trump bumper stickers, after changing the license plates. So just shut up already.

    Louloubelle, I wish I knew a way as well. Bored Panda appears to have started to use a "language filter" that blocks out foul language, but they still have a huge problem with trolls on this website; language filters don't fully resolve the problem of hate speech. In the past, I believe that they used to moderate the comments section more. However, they really need a way to contact site moderators as I personally don't feel safe or good coming to a site where there are racist, homophobic comments. I value free speech, but when people are openly attacking others and blatantly using hate-speech like Youtube Istrash is, then there needs to be a way to "block" users or "flag" comments with hate speech.

    Trump people are rioting because they believe in the cult of Trump. Thats it, they just believe he should have won. Gore was supposed to have won against Bush and he just conceded and didnt whine like a bitch for months. BLM and Antifa OWN the fact they were out there; Trump and Qanon try to say it was Antifa and BLM who broke into the Capitol Building.

    He's not a punk. He's just a racists, retarded Trump-supporter, as pathetic as they all are, but maybe a bit more couragious than most of them. Most people who fell for Trump are just loudmouths, but he's actually nuts enough to do what they're all just talking about - overthrowing the country once you're not happy with the result of a democratic process like an election. There is a lot ahead of the US I'm not jealous about, but more frightened by. Trump's time in office is over, almost over at least - but he didn't come out of nowhere.

    "Can I help you down the steps, m' white lady?" Why was she not put in cuffs or made to lay faced-down on the ground like the terrorist she is? Oh, right. She was wearing a Trump beanie, so therefore, she was a tax-paying, law-abiding, white American, who gets a free pass. And, help down the Capitol Hill steps.

But I'm pretty sure I'd be greeted at the gates of any other country at this point with a bottle of disinfectant since we can't get COVID isolation right, a copy of their Civil Rights policies since we can't seem to get our heads far enough out of our asses collectively, and a swift kick in the ass to turn around and go back where I came from because we're all the embarrassed 13 year old at a sleepover that still wets the bed.

Decades after the Reverend Dr. King was assassinated, our society still judges people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.

    Yes, ugly. Even burning can happen in a protest. That isn’t the same thing as a terrorist attack. If you cared about that cop car, you’d care about this. The fact that you don’t care about this shows you DEFINITELY don’t really care about BLM violence. Also I have $10,000 that says you DEFINITELY look like you eat to much butter and drink too much milk. All of you people look like that for some reason.

    nothing surprises me anymore after the summer-autumn of 2020. Police is used for political reasons by both political parties just like in aftermath of killing George Floyd. Back then they were told to step back and let rioters do their thing for months when cities were in flames, now it seems very similar.

    Pathetic comparison. I might have lived in parallels universe than more than half of commentators of this lefty site. I've seen pictures and videos floating around in mass for 6 months long taken in "mostly peaceful protests". Shops looted, public buildings on fire. Meanwhile politicians and mass media defending these. I am sure you should be able to google those images/videos if these aren't banned yet by Ministry of Truth. Maybe it was just my dream, but it was pretty real to me.

    Most police forces are maintained by individual municipalities. The individual states do not have a force with traditional police powers. The National Guard can be called out by order of the governor, but they are not really a police force. What we really need is more civilian oversight of police policies and activities. The police should not be permitted to conduct investigations of themselves. Police unions should be fighting for proper training and uniform adherence to the rules, but instead they threaten and intimidate in order to cover up the actions of corrupt officers. Read up on the president of the Chicago police union, he is actively defending the Trump terrorists. It seems that most police unions are actually closer to organized crime than anything else.

    Trump incited the crowd against his own VP Pence by saying he was very angry that Pence did not support his bogus challenges to the election. Pence has since shown what a weakling he is by refusing to invoke the 25th Amendment to have Trump removed from office for inciting this insurgency in the Capitol. THESE RIOTERS WALKED TO THE CAPITOL FROM A RALLY WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.

    see... i was afraid we would be viewed this way... it honestly depends on where you live in the country- fortunately the city and state (seattle) I live in are much more progressive, educated, and open-minded in comparison to some of the back-wood states. the behaviors that you have seen on T.V. are just as disturbing and disgusting to us and you see it as well. This is why- persons like "Stacey Abrahms" did so much foot-work in the "otherwise" considered Red Trump states- to get minority involvement to make a change... I would say a good 60 percent of America is demanding change... it is still terrifying to know that 40% of our country are racist bigots. Might I ask where you are from though?

    I've come to the conclusion that Trumpturds aren't racist at all. They throw insults and slurs at anyone who disagrees with their "patriotic" actions against law, order and democracy.

    You become a Cop in DC knowing full well the kinds of things you signed up for. Just like Secret Service knowing they HAVE to jump in front of bullets and anything else that might target the President. You dont make it easy for these people to break into a Federal building

    I seem to remember that Trump signed an executive order last summer stating that people who destroyed National statues (i.e. Confederate statues, etc.) should be given no less than 10 years in prison................so all these rioters and looters are getting 10 years, right? Well.....that's still not long enough

    Fighting for the right to live without fear of being shot by the police because the cop had a bad day is obviously more threatening to the democracy than storming, looting and damaging the center and symbol of democracy.

    Anyone remember when Iran had a democratic election and some people didn’t like the results and said it was fake, and they went and protested and some people died, and the entire world acted like we were dictator loving terrorists who didn’t have a real election, and they propped up all the protestors to try and take down the actual democratically elected president and say it was for freedom, and threatened international action? I do.

    I will add some more. One group invaded a capitol building, made mess, posed for selfies like dumb children and got no idea what they are doing since they were a bunch of sheep. Other group(s) went around the cities burning down businesses and public building, threatening to abolish the police, destroy the USA, deconstruct the family as unnecessary evil and implement norms of socialism (from BLM manifesto). Now think for few seconds who is more dangerous to US democracy.

    Hey Rob, let me rephrase that for you. I know that basic reading comprehension can be very difficult for people like you. One group actively committed domestic terrorism by attempting a coup at the nation's capital because their tiny d***s could not fathom that their supreme leader lost the election. They destroyed furniture, they defaced the capital, they used teargas, they carried symbols of hate like the Confederate flag an, they were caught with Pipe-bombs and Molotov cocktails. They made a true attack on American Democracy. This group were active terrorists and Trump supporters: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55568621 Who is more dangerous now?

    The reason why is because our douchebag president didn't want to stop them because they were his supporters, it shows he only does good to the people who supports him. There was this show I watched on Netflix called "When They See Us", About 4 boys going to jail (1 did actually go to jail, the others went to a juvenile center) for a crime they did not commit. They were convicted of rape and murder. Donald Trump said that they should be put on the death penalty. SMH, really you are putting teenagers on the death penalty for a crime they did not commit. I can go on and on about what Trump caused in the U.S. But Trump Americans are showing their true colors. If it was black or other heritage protesters, there would have been a deadly shooting.

    They turned violent due to a loud minority(a phrase the right uses frequently;)). In addition, this is mostly due to police violence and provocation.

    This states the obvious that quite a few police sided with the Trump “protesters”. Secret Service had to be rearranged so that President Elect Biden had the same Secret Service men he had when he was Vice President because the alliances of the ones protecting Trump were questionable.

    I find it so incredibly disgusting and ironic that Trump's cronies cried and complained about racist Confederate statues being taken down because they are a part of America's glorious history. Yet, here they are defiling statues in the nation's capital in the very nation that they swear they "love so much." I'm not even from the U.S. and level of hypocrisy these idiots (rioters who stormed the capital) display is mind-boggling.
