But, and this the important thing, if you cannot see that the way in which the Police/National Guard are treating these protestors as being different to the way they treated BLM protestors then you're living outside reality.
I'd rather this situation not tip over into violence, just as I wished that it didn't with the BLM protests but there is no parity between the response from law enforcement between the show different events.
Posting that photo was a cheap shot too- you should remove it.

I wonder if they would say that to this woman who died.
Both tragic, but one was on street protesting as the law allowed.
The other….i think the US allows people to shoot people breaking in your own home, this instance, hundreds and hundreds of people stormed in the Capitol and some with automatic weapons.
They all should have been shot the minute put 1 toe through the door, every single one of them.

Angry, armed mob storm the Capitol to disrupt them from carrying out the democratic process after being egged on by the sitting president that the election was rigged.
You're an utter clown, have a word with yourself.
Same goes for anybody posting photos of the woman who was shot.
What planet are you living on?
This is the president of the US basically calling for insurrection.
With him or against him- and it worked.

This is the most consequential days of the last 20 or so years, and some people can't even seen it.
This is serious.

A mob with automatic weapons stormed the Capitol.
Read that out loud, if you can't grasp the gravity of that, read it again, and again.

These protestors- 'they are just expressing their first amendment right to protest'.
But BLM- 'they are committing violence'.
It is an extraordinary example of double think.

He is on course to be banned on Jan 20th permanently.
Should ban him for life. I'm pretty sure he'll be up before a judge before long. Inciting people to political violence is a crime in the USA.

US media are treating the 1814 incident, when the building was burnt, as the last breach. I assume as security was breached and there was forced entry. The 1954 incident seems to be people who were let in by security to the viewing gallery, so presumably why they are not counting it as a breach.

OK, fair enough.

The article you link to from Jan 4 2021 says the following:
"Now with downtown D.C. businesses boarding up their windows, Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested a limited National Guard deployment to help bolster the Metropolitan Police Department. During a press conference on Monday, Bowser asked that local area residents stay away from downtown D.C., and avoid confrontations with anyone who is “looking for a fight.” But, she warned, “we will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city.”
According to a U.S. defense official, Bowser put in a request on New Year’s Eve to have Guard members on the streets from Tuesday to Thursday to help with the protests. The official said the additional forces will be used for traffic control and other assistance but they will not be armed or wearing body armor. Congress is meeting this week to certify the Electoral College results, and Trump has refused to concede while whipping up support for protests."
Note: requested, not mobilized. The District of Columbia has no governor. The mayor is head of governance for the DC. Her request goes to the President who then delegates downwards to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army. So the decision to mobilize the DC National Guard can't come from the mayor.
Governors on the other hand can receive requests and mobilize their own National Guard as Ralph Northam is doing.
As for the rest of the thread.. nah. Wrong in that regard as well.
