Similar confrontations withal enforcement personnel are in the news again every day now. But there has been shift in the coverage by leftist news outlets and the progressive left in general.
It has been abetted that the actions of the Capitol Police on 1-1-'20 were just and the protesters unjust. I would note here that the only death in the Capitol Building on that day was a protester shot by an LEO. nThis act has been and continues to be vi=gerously supported by the left .
But the left today vigorously supports armed confrontation by protesters against Federal law enforcement. And they decry any strong resistance from these officers. Liberal media outlets, progressive public officials and leftist agitators openly now advocate for what amounts to armed insurrection.
What a shift in viewpoint from only a few years ago.

Ahhhh yes….the Right wing is totally innocent, and never does anything wrong……
But this is such a twisted pile of made up crapola, and whataboutism…..
You take two totally different situations and try desperately to make them equate. You can’t. Two different situations, completely different.
January 6th was an insurrection, and anyone who ransacked the interior of the Capitol was guilty. The woman who got shot was trying to break through a barricaded door to get at our elected Congressional authorities.
Minnesota was two people who were gunned down for no reason other than panic and mis-training.
If anyone, regardless of political affiliation draws any kind of weapon on duly authorized law enforcement, they get what they deserve.
No one with credibility or intelligence believes in supporting armed confrontation with law enforcement.
