I see alot of posts saying that the MAGA idiots were allowed to storm the capital because they were white. This isn't true. Cops gas and beat white leftist protesters all the time--look at Portland all summer. The MAGA mooks got to storm the capital because cops are pro Trump
Police have zero problem shooting the eyes out of white protesters, bludgeoning white protesters, slapping white protesters with trumped up terrorism charges... as long as they are leftists. Look at all the anarchists, animal rights people, antiwar people
Obviously, cops are impossibly more violent to black and Latino people -- whether they are protesting, or sleeping in their beds.

It doesn't mean that even the whitest group of antifascists would have been allowed to *storm the capital*. This is police collusion with Trump
