You and Paul with your absolute refusal to seriously consider alternatives to your locked in mindset is the stuff that is gonna silently kill our way of life.
But go on with your lunacy.

I’m not a “Pub” I’m not even Registered that way.

In fact I was featured in a Readers Digest original article a few years ago talking about “Swing Voters” and was interviewed at length.
Documented evidence that I have an Open Mind and don’t have my head stuck in one side’s ideology. But I’ll admit the ludicrous antics over the last 6 years have pushed me to lean more Right.

For sure the press got the Sidnick story wrong about the fire extinguisher. OK.
But you said

No cops were attacked or beaten in DC.

Do you really believe NO cops were attacked or beaten? I'm seriously interested in knowing if you hold that belief. (assuming you watch the multiple videos)

Talk about lunacy:


"Washington, DC – Police chiefs for law enforcement agencies in Washington, D.C. that responded to the Capitol Riots on Jan. 6 estimate that more than 140 officers were injured in the attack on the Capitol."

I posted a story by a credible journalist, twice.
Maybe you should read it rather than asking me?

It is a tad annoying how the media gets one thing wrong (Sicknick), and then all of a sudden no cop was assaulted during the raid on the Capitol Building. They grab one and run that across them all in an attempt to change the narrative from cops were assaulted to it was all fake.

There's been a lot more than one thing they have gotten "wrong". And it's not wrong like "oops, we missed that", its wrong like a complete fabricated lie.

Exactly..it wasn't a misprint or a quote taken out of context. They literally made up a story, reported on it for weeks and then sat with their thumbs up their asses when the real findings came out. I choose not to be lectured about one side 'changing the narrative' when the other side literally makes a murder story up to forward an agenda.

I've read Greenwald. I understand the Sidenik situation was originally reported wrong and had to be corrected.

That doesn't answer my question.

Do YOU believe NO cops were attacked and beaten?

You personally have said that. I want to know if you believe it.

I believe facts, not fake or embellished stories. I was not there. I believe credible journalists who have zero axe to grind or narrative to pitch. The Wash Post CNN & NY Times posted stories that they later had to walk back. Not credible.
Greenwald states facts and debunks other media sensationalism about 1/6 in this story below too.
BTW. I also have a picture of an alleged “insurrectionist” in a Buffalo Headdress walking into the Senate Chamber with a Capitol Police officer walking calmly behind him. The officer certainly does not look under duress or attack. In fact that Officer asks a protestor sitting on the floor if he “Needed Medical Attention”, and the guy says no. Don’t see any attack there. Unfortunately I am unable to post it on here for unknown reasons but it is contained on video near the end of the Greenwald article. Watch it.

All you have to do is google Body Camera Footage from Capotil Police on Jan 6th.
