This is complete nonsense. It's gaslighting that requires ignoring what we actually witnessed on a nightly basis last summer. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1347258340020281354
I think rioters should be treated far more harshly and face far more consequences than they have in each of those instances.
And yes, storming the Capitol is different, but the response was mostly a reflection of how poorly prepared Capitol police were for such mob action.
The response would have clearly been different if the National Guard was there from the start.

There were 52 arrests last night and one of the rioters was killed.
On the worst 2 nights of rioting in Minneapolis over the summer, there were only 45 arrests combined: https://www.fox9.com/news/jail-records-show-most-arrested-in-minneapolis-riots-have-minnesota-addresses
Cops tend to back off when they don't have proper support.

To add to this because it seems to have been ignored. The reason police didn’t react aggressively is because they were overwhelmed. It’s weird to create conspiracies or inject a race narrative into that when one of the main people responsible for it was Mayor Bowser: https://twitter.com/mayorbowser/status/1346530358674792466
