> Those police were doing crowd control. If they were not deployed there would have been no on-duty injuries.

"The Bank security guard would have never been hurt if they just let people steal the money and take hostages."

> Maybe you don’t know that the police officer who died, died as a result of a blood clot.

This is beyond bad faith, this is insulting. And i'm not going to participate anymore. I just hope people like you die out before this country is irrevocably harmed, and your children don't carry your sickness to a new generation.

can you explain this analogy? What are you assuming the protestors would have done if the police weren’t deployed?

> I just hope people like you die out before this country is irrevocably harmed, and your children don't carry your sickness to a new generation.

This is a pretty radical statement. I’m actually a center left liberal and you’re wishing that I die simply because of a fact I brought up that refutes your narrative. Can you substantiate your claims that I’m causing harm to this country by citing facts? How did you get this radicalized?

I regret spending even a moment interacting with you.
Well I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve been cordial and rational in my reasoning and interactions with you. Why does the mention of the fact that the officer’s cause of death was a blood clot provoke such a strong negative reaction?
Please.

You're pretending that your "rational" arguments are anything other than bad faith.

It's difficult to take anything you say seriously when you can't admit that the actions this week are not the same as the women's march.

This is game that the rest of us are tired of being subjected to. The results of this style of thinking has just borne fruit thanks to the continued lying and obfuscating of the President and his gaggle of sycophants. The world is not confused about the dangerous actions that just transpired.

You are purposefully and willingly beyond reach.

The fact remains that 4 unarmed protestors were killed, at least 2 were directly killed by capitol police. There were no deaths directly caused by the protestors. Sicknick died from a blood clot.

So when you say that the protestors caused a truly harmful action to take place, what exactly are you referring to?

...breaking and entering into congress?
"The circumstances surrounding Mr. Sicknick's death were not immediately clear, and the Capitol Police said only that he had “passed away due to injuries sustained while on duty.” At some point in the chaos "

Capitol Police said this...

Or are we only allowed to provide partial facts?

Maybe all of those gun shot victims I keep reading about are simply dying from loss of blood? My mistake...
