Dude, are you being serious? I will absolutely agree with you that there were instances in which law enforcement was heavy handed. But to pretend that that was the standard response to the riots the past few years is just disingenuous. There are reams of instances of law enforcement standing back and minimizing their involvement. I can tell you this first hand. You can't pretend that the standard response to the riots the past years has been heavy handed and expect to be taken seriously.

That is what history will show as the difference between how "some" were treated and how "others" weren't, and why you really have to question the police and our legal system as politics has taken over. All fine and dandy when you are on the "safe side", but like slavery and holocaust, we are going to have those on the "safe side" step up and speak out and fight against obvious wrongs even if they benefit from it before anything will change. Those who are on the not so safe side can't do it all, history shows that won't bring about change.
You're bordering on the hyperbolic here. Were the 01/06 rioters treated with kid gloves when one of them was killed by law enforcement? Your position seems to be that law enforcement was universally, or even largely, heavy handed with the riots of the past few years, but not at all with the 01/06 protestors. This is objectively false on both accounts.
