Inside the building presumably the red hats are being rounded up ready to be marched out?

 

[TopCat]

Some of them probably are police.

That video where they let them pass, I suspect that was already in motion, can't hold the line with only a handful of officers, so they're withdrawn. Why there were only a handful, well that's more interesting (and obvious).

How many do you think control Parliament at any one time? 20?

They're sending in the Park Police. Is it just me or do they not really sound super scary..?

They are heavily armed.

With leaf blowers.

They'll probably encourage them to move on to the gift shop, get some souvenirs of the day first.

looks like a big storm is blowing. a natural one. that'll disperse them quicker

I've told you - NO BALL GAMES

Get off the grass. No ball games etc.

What time does it get dark in Washington?

5pm sun set in DC according to my weather app. So 10pm uk time.

Wouldn't be a total shock if someone has smuggled a gun in there, but you're not allowed to carry in DC, so it won't be like in would be in some states.

Fair point. Maybe they dont have any guns.

Disappointed that Mayor Bowser does not have a big spiky shell on her back.

 

[BigMoaner]

hmmm my conspiracy microchip is tinging. it seems mighty odd that police performance.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Someone was shot, though.

They took someone else out in a wheelchair on oxygen not long ago. I couldn't tell if it was a protestor or a cop who had changed into civies, but it was a white guy with a beard..

The Park Police?
They sound like hell on earth for hedges

 

[JuanTwoThree]

My gut reaction is 'Shoot at the fuckers'.

My gut is usually wrong.

I am trying to work out if my early night is still on the cards, or if I need to get a couple more cans in from my garage stash.

Blimey, it's chilly out there.

Still the lager is nice & cold.

The Park Police were the arseholes that cleared Lafayette Square for Trumps photo shoot at the church. All the videos I've found are loooong though.

eta. amongst other arseholes.

For a scheduled SWP A-B march outside? More than the number of protesters, IME.

just time for them to be pardoned

[BigMoaner]

fascists - 3 out of 10
police - 0 out of 10.

was hoping for a 7 on both sides.

 

[hitmouse]

Have we had the cops posing for selfies yet?


Also this - sources for the claim are in the thread below:


Edit: for instance, here's confirmation of them evacuating the Georgia state house: Georgia Senate elections live updates: Jon Ossoff projected to win Ga. Senate seat

This looks to be potentially dodgy as fuck:

 

[bimble]

On a symbolic & emotional level they (red hats) will feel this as a massive victory, they stormed the capitol.

Curfew called for 6pm till 6am.
