1. encourage mob
2. flee from mob
3. admit mob was violent and that police who stood up to them are heroes
4. realize admitting #3 is bad for your brand, so change your tune

Hardly unique.  I spent over a year being told about "peaceful protests" in which heavy objects were thrown, lasers shined in officer's eyes, fires set and people physically attacked.  I won't even get into the racial slurs hurled at non-white officers by white protestors.  I suppose excusing political violence when it's perceived to threaten your objectives has become the norm.  You'll note I think what happened on 01/06 was terrible.  But I saw far more violent protests first hand that didn't seem to bother many people, and in fact were excused at very high levels.  Very interesting, from my perspective, were Democrat politicians who all of the sudden cared about the well being of law enforcement instead of demonizing them on a daily basis and calling for them to be defunded, lose their jobs, be disbanded, etc.  I'd be much more comfortable if we could condemn all of it, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.
