Joel, they literally moved the barriers for the terrorists and escorted them IN!!! Others took selfies with them.

Around 50-70 arrests from the various reports I saw a few hours ago.

Ive seen the reports, but not sure if thats the number arrested during the coup attempt or during the curfew.

Here is just one example of a cop escorting the terrorists into the Capitol…there are others as well.

Dude, this is simple for me, I don’t have a “team”. I’m against ALL of the riots, violence and destruction. ALL OF IT! I’m not making excuses for anybody or criticizing peaceful protests.

Every single one of them that broke into the Capitol should be arrested. Every single person that assaults LEOs, burns cars and buildings, loots businesses, etc… should be arrested.

I live about 0.75 miles from the Capitol. Half of downtown is still boarded up from the summer. ALL of the rioting, violence, and destruction should be condemned by everyone. Clear enough?

I can agree with this.

Is it possible they were motioning to another officer letting them know they were all retreating, so they wouldn’t get isolated? Wish we could see a little further to the left and for a few more seconds to see if another officer follows.

This doesnt look good at all.
I know a Capitol Police officer.
He wrote on FB: “… against all enemies , foreign and domestic…”
Since my wife have me banned from writing on FB (I agree with her ban), I have no clarify who were the enemy: The people who he support (the ones going into the building) or the congress…

Take a close look, the protestors/rioters were already on the other side of the barriers. You don’t maintain a barrier with protestors on both sides of it. Please, no more conspiracy theories.

Have you seen “Social Dilemma”? I think they could’ve filmed an entire sequel yesterday.

Not sure if its a conspiracy.
BUT, AP is reporting that Pentagon offered NG to help and CP declined (before the event).
FBI offered people when shit was about to hit the fan AND THEY DECLINED.

This is not conspiracy theory. By early yesterday they knew they needed help. And yet, someone declined.
Who? Why? The questions that need to be answer.

Gladly, look at the guy in the hoody 9 seconds in on the near side (closest to the camera). Can you see that he is a protestor that was already on the other side of the barrier?

When is the appropriate time to take selfies with the terrorists?

That selfie guy LOOKS like the guy from the gate.

LOL…so one guy is there…so let’s just open the barriers.

Your attempts to “both sides” this are transparent.

Look at all 13 seconds… the camera pans to the right. What do you see?

In all seriousness, are you promoting a conspiracy that the USCP were involved in aiding a coup at the US Capitol. Really?

This is a Place to Learn, Disagree and be Entertained

This is a place to talk about all things bike or triathlon related (including nutrition and weight training).

If you don’t follow your own forum FAQ then I question the purpose of stating the above in the first place?

Why not change the FAQ to allow folks to talk about whatever in the hell they want to talk about?

Maybe we can get Jon and Chad to debrief us on DC happenings on the next podcast? I mean, that is supposed to be a cycling and triathlon related podcast, but it doesn’t have to be. Imagine the fun we could have listening to a deep dive on Chad and Amber’s views on the Save America Rally. What fun.

It is interesting that you choose to camouflage your comments by including the word “censoring.” Honestly it is not censoring, it is setting a policy and following it. If you aren’t going to follow your policy, change it.

They REJECTED multiple request for help by National Guard AND the FBI.
There are malls with more protection than yesterday.
They were prepared for a “free speech” demonstration.

IDK. It doesn’t looks good.
Not saying that ALL were involved, but 100% a few were.
