‘Stark contrast’ of police response to Trump, BLM rallies scrutinized after Capitol riot
Updated Jan 10, 2021;
Black Lives Matter marches last year were often met by throngs of
police in riot gear, accompanied by armored vehicles, batons, tear gas and rubber bullets, ready to forcibly keep protestors off vulnerable public property.
When thousands of disgruntled supporters of President Donald Trump converged in Washington D.C. last week to contest the legitimacy of the election and eventually stormed the U.S. Capitol, one of the most important government buildings in the nation, not nearly enough officers were on hand to stop them.
Two people alleged to be featured in viral photographs of the assault on the U.S. Capitol were taken into custody on Saturday. One was pictured carrying House Speaker Nancy s Pelosi s lectern and another, a man known as QAnon Shaman, was seen shirtless and wearing bull horns with his face painted in multiple photos.
The news comes as the U.S. attorney s office said on Saturday that it would be investigating the deaths at the Capitol, including of the woman who was killed by Capitol Police.
U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin s civil rights division will be investigating the death of Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter who was shot to death by Capitol Police during Wednesday s riot. The U.S. attorney s office will also be investigating the death of Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Police officer who died Thursday after incurring injuries while physically engaging with protesters.
