There is a thread on this forum on the events of Jan th, 2020. It is a long thread. The subject of protester confrontations with Capitol police is a prominent sub-topic there.
Similar confrontations withal enforcement personnel are in the news again every day now. But there has been shift in the coverage by leftist news outlets and the progressive left in general.
It has been abetted that the actions of the Capitol Police on 1-1-'20 were just and the protesters unjust. I would note here that the only death in the Capitol Building on that day was a protester shot by an LEO. nThis act has been and continues to be vi=gerously supported by the left .
But the left today vigorously supports armed confrontation by protesters against Federal law enforcement. And they decry any strong resistance from these officers. Liberal media outlets, progressive public officials and leftist agitators openly now advocate for what amounts to armed insurrection.
What a shift in viewpoint from only a few years ago.
