@pizzagui2pizza437 - You can have a riot and sedition and still be "peaceful" by the news standards. The news these days seems to define peaceful as none of the protesters grossly and willfully injuring someone or worse. So, yes, it seems this met that standard. Despite that, property was destroyed and one of the most important government functions imaginable was disrupted. The crowd was calling for hanging people and killing them. They were calling for overthrowing the government. That is insurrection. So, there were still very serious crimes committed. Now, if you want to compare this to rioters who attend BLM marches (particularly the "Antifa" jerks), you would be right to see how some of those folks would probably be willing to do worse in the same situation. However, those folks were NOT interrupting the certification of votes for the President of the United States of America. We have REPEATEDLY seen Trump protesters try to disrupt governance itself. That approach led to the fall of the Roman Republic. After that, for nearly 2000 millennia, the world did not see a major republic again. Humanity should not backslide like that again. Certainly not the USA. These rioters and protesters committed sedition, insurrection and many other crimes like trespass, assault, and terroristic threats.

VOTERFRAUD BIDEN - DC has not defunded police. Also, defunding would allow police to do a "real" police job. If you were a responder, as I was, you would know so much of what they do involves far too many conflicting responsibilities. You have no idea what's it like for officers who are called to incidents like homeless having GENUINE mental health issues. The police are trained to physically handle that situation, but handling the mental aspect optimally is often well beyond their training (even trained mental health professionals can face situations were the proper response is simply unproven). So, do you want to spend money putting a mental health expert on the scene with two officers, or just four officers? Go ahead and neglect the solutions to your own peril, dummy.

@genee1860 - Those riots were not during the certification of the votes for the President of the USA. Also, rioters are rioters and SHOULD be put in jail. On the other hand, if police allowed BLM protesters to do what they want and removed barricades instead of murdering black people, you would see a transition to more peaceful protest.
