🧵This THREAD adds context to the @BuzzFeedNews article: These Black Capitol Police Officers Describe Fighting Off "Racist Ass Terrorists"

There was an organized militia within the rioters. They must be arrested and charged with treason.

Two Black officers told BuzzFeed News that THEIR CHIEF and other UPPER MANAGEMENT left them totally unprepared and were NOWHERE to be found on the day. Some fought them off for two hours before the attackers eventually gained access.
Many widely spread images of smiling marauders, wandering the halls dressed in absurd costumes, had the effect of downplaying how well prepared some of the rioters were to overtake the building & even capture & kill Congress members. Listen at 8 sec
At 8 sec: "Yo we need everybody in here now. Take the paperwork. Take those papers" an organized militia can be heard saying.
“That was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us,” said the officer, who has been with the department for more than a decade. “They had radios, we found them, they had two-way communicators and earpieces. They had bear spray. Flash bangs.
They strategically put two IEDs, pipe bombs in two different locations. A lot of them were former military,” the veteran said, referring to two suspected pipe bombs that were found outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee

The officer even described coming face to face with POLICE OFFICERS from across the country in the mob. He said some of them flashed their badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain that this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help.
“I got called a nigger 15 times today,” the veteran officer shouted in the rotunda to no one in particular. “Trump did this and we got all of these fucking people in our department that voted for him. How the fuck can you support him?”

“The fundamental question will be, ‘Is being present at the rally in and of itself a violation of department policy?’” he said. “It depends on what they did and what their role was in those events.”

JUST IN — "Camp Auschwitz" insurrectionist of the Capitol siege was just arrested this morning in Newport News, VIrginia.

2) this guy was just arrested.


3) We cannot have a repeat of the fascism from WW2. This is @Schwarzenegger’s speech was so powerful.


4) My wife @andreafeigl1’s 🇦🇹 great grandfather secretly fought Hilter’s Nazi regime & smuggled many Jews to safety as an aircraft engineer. He was thrown into a concentration camp, and escaped.

She knows a few things about Nazi history—Jan 6th was downright fascist. Read 👇


5) So this cover is from a semi-tabloid magazine in Germany, according to @andreafeigl1. But even so, how did such a magazine still get it so damn right?! Maybe Germany 🇩🇪 has seen this kinda fascism before...
