True, I had to throw my "Blue Lives Don't Matter" flag in the trash because of this.

I commented this to my wife, this morning. Some liberal politicians were on the radio singing the praises of the Capitol Police and I was like "they are milking this for all it is worth. They are loving being able to paint conservatives as the anti-cop ones right now." It was an interview with a different person that I heard after dropping her off where this professor and retired LEO was saying about how this all just shows the police really don't have friends. I thought about how that isn't true, that there are people out there that are genuinely pro-police, though on a wide spectrum. It's just that certain segments like to use the police as a prop for their own machinations and it creates harmful divisions in our communities.

I don't like it that brainwashed buffoons lost their lives that day, when they should've been home living them... But the fact that a man (maybe someone's husband, dad, brother, and surely someone's son) who was doing his job was beaten to death over bold faced lies.

Yeah, the notion that officers died because Trump sold that you can just break in there and replace the US flag with a Trump flag and you'd get some MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, TRUMP IS NOW PRESIDENT notification is just hard to handle. 

There was no power in the mob nor inside the capitol building to make Trump the president, but ehh...why not let people have their hope and fun?

That part.

Most people I know are not "anti-police" or just love when an officer is hurt.  Most don't even care if an officer is a "Bad apple".  They don't care or think about it at all and if they do they are for the police to do their job and do it well.

But anyone who criticizes that job gets labeled and if they then praise an officer they are called hypocrites or liars or are accused of doing it only for political gain.  Is there some of that?  Of course.  As you said there is a wide spectrum.

But that's just talk...we can't really worry until they *do* something.

This is the dangerous part of all of this... As much as Donarld and the boys did their best in inciting the attack. This is really a bottom up movement. These people have been emboldened over the past 4 years (probably longer). They stormed statehouses in the spring, tried to intimidate with their best Taliban impersonations, and plotted to kidnap and murder a governor.... For all of the venom that was spewed in front of the White House Wednesday morning, people were photographed with zip ties inside the Capital... You ain't buying those on the Mall.

I don't think these people are done yet either...

I mean I don't speak for every liberal, but I certainly never wanted any LEOs to be harmed without just cause (i.e: had someone punched the cop who killed Floyd, I'd of thought he deserved it). I'd just like to see accountability for their actions.

I don't think many would disagree with that general sentiment.  I think you'd find widely divergent opinions on when a LEO could be harmed "with cause".
