The hypocrisy of the left is far reaching and never ceases to amaze any logical individual.
Violence against those who dedicate their lives to protecting us is contradictory to creating a more peaceful society – but that is not what the vindicating, anti-American liberals who condone such actions perpetuate.
That is at least the story they want you to believe unless it supports the destruction of this nation’s fundamental values, and then they are on board with promoting the value of police officers.
On January 6, 2021, tens of thousands of freedom loving Americans showed up in Washington, D.C., as Mommy Underground has previously reported on, to protest the lack of integrity and transparency within the government that was highlighted during this last election.
During the protest, there were a small group of extremists that breached the doors of the Capitol building while Congress was in session deciding the results of the electoral college count.
This violent event resulted in the death of a protester, Ashli Babbitt, and fatality of a beloved police officer who later collapsed as a result from injuries sustained by a protestor breaching the Capitol, reports the Washington Post.
According to Insider, 56 law enforcement officers were injured to varying degrees during the protests on January 6, including the highly covered account of an officer who was filmed getting his head slammed in a door.
The involvement of individuals claiming to be “pro-Trump” during the Capitol breach led politicians, especially those looking to degrade the President since he took office, to capitalize on the event for their political gain.
Biden called the attack on the Capitol a “culmination” of Trump’s assaults on democracy, NPR reports.
So, who is to blame when the BLM rioters attacked the Capitol just this past summer?
On June 1, 2020, Thousands of people gathered around the White House and surrounding area to protest the death of George Floyd.
The protests quickly escalated, and thousands of rioters began burning buildings (including a church), vehicles, and objects around the White House and Capitol building.
There were 316 arrests on June 1 in relation to the riots in Washington, D.C, compared to 61 arrests on January 6 in relation to the protests of the recent election in Washington, D.C., reports CNN.
The media wants to say this is because of race, but it simply is because there were more crimes being committed.
Let’s not forget what Washington, D.C. looked like on the day of the BLM riots on the Capitol this past summer, as one Twitter user reminds us.
Reminder that our nation’s capital looked like this at the beginning of the summer and most Democrats/media shrugged it off as mostly peaceful https://t.co/1zvsLVRuQc

The mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said in a statement when referring to the protest over the death of George Floyd:
“We must also understand why the federal law enforcement response was much stronger at the protests over the summer than during yesterday’s attack on Congress.”
Funny enough, Bowser herself was the one who called in for backup from the police when the angry mob could not be stopped from destroying property and injuring innocent civilians.
Fox News reports:
“Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday that she had requested 500 DC Guardsman to assist local law enforcement.”
Also, Bowser only had a 11pm curfew instituted on June 1, compared to a 6pm curfew which she instituted on January 6.
Breaking curfew is what resulted in the majority of arrests during the “Pro-Trump” rally this month, reports the Boston Globe.
Over 700 law enforcement officers were injured in the first half of 2020 in George Floyd protests alone, reports the New York Times, which liberals praised as freedom of speech and encouragement of positive change to the “systemic racism” they claim plagues this nation.
Death and violence against innocent individuals over political differences is wrong on either side of the debate!
It is obvious that the left is using the violence at the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 rally as a stepping-stone to turn the nation against Trump, his administration, and everything they were trying to accomplish to maintain the integrity and values of the Constitution.
Police are an important and valued part of society, their service and dedication to the communities for which they serve should never be taken for granted or used as a pawn in a power play.
