Black and Brown Americans who look very much like washington d. C. s nearly 60 majority minority population. Many of them serve on the Capitol Police Force and were beaten with Flag Poles and Fire Extinguishers as well as maysed by the angry, trumpcrazed crowd. They also worked on the Maintenance Crews tasked with the cleaning up the vandalism, trash, and feces left behind by rightwing hooligans. One republican lawmaker would call normal citizens. Many washingtonians found it shocking but not necessarily surprising. After all, President Trump used their fair city as a prop during his most overt turn at dictatorial cosplay casting a crowd of peaceful black matter protesters so he could flaunt a bible in front of a church he had never shown any worship in though it had been the favorite Place Of Worship for dozens of president s who preceded him.
