You might be misunderstanding the US capitol outrage. It wasn't that people brandished weapons or killed each other - that's bad, and everyone wants it to stop, but it does sometimes happen.

The problem was that the Capitol was invaded while the Senate was in session, which made a bunch of lawmakers feel personally threatened. And when rich politically-connected people fear for their own safety, you'd better watch out.

Anyways, protests attack cops and cops attack protests in the US...oh, every few months? Such is life.
