A death on one side does not erase a death on the other side. This is not a game.

The OP strongly implied that 2 cops died at the hands of protesters. I think its appropriate to offer corrected info.
OP forgot to mention the 2 pipe bombs, the long guns found and the famous zip tie guy. Also forgot to mention the chants to behead Pence and Pelosi.
Two zip tie guys, one of whom was a retired Lt. Col. in the Air Force, and there’s video of a large group of men with apparent training and in matching tactical gear moving through the crowd towards the Capitol. One of them has an OathTakers shirt.

These were militia.

Don't forget the gallows!
nostromo's comment doesn't seem to be a scorekeeping effort, more a statement of fact (though I will confess to having an initial reaction similar to yours before finishing reading). It's a good idea to keep the facts straight in general, but especially in such a controversial case.
