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

āThe fundamental question will be, āIs being present at the rally in and of itself a violation of department policy?āā he said. āIt depends on what they did and what their role was in those events.ā

@DrMarkSchuster
"When facilitators were asked to incorporate topics on bias & racial health disparities into the August 28, 2020 class, I decided to show up fully as a Black woman & physician. That morning, I paired a t-shirt with the words āI canāt breatheā with my usual African print attire"
For six weeks, Dr. @ayshakhoury was removed from both the clinic and the classroom. She remains suspended from her teaching role at the medical school. 3/10
"How is it possible in the same summer that racism is repeatedly confirmed as a public health issue, I was placed on a now 18 week suspension after facilitating a medical school class incorporating topics of bias & racial health disparities?" @ayshakhoury

More severe police injuries and deaths on that one day of rampaging Trumpers than in five years of Anti-Police protests.
You can tell a lot about the stance of a angry crowd by whether they come with shields or pitchforks.
If people protesting police brutality for years had wanted to use their large numbers to attack, maim and kill police, they damn well could have.
But they came to resist police.
Which is completely different.
Why did the police suffer more at the hands of those who claimed to support them and waved their flags than at the hands of those who think they should be defunded or abolished?
Because one group is literally arguing for human dignity and the other glorifies violence.
The people who uncritically support police brutality are those who believe that instrumental violence should be a standard tool in response to those standing opposed to you.
Once you accept that... WHO is standing opposed to you doesn't matter much.
Nearly 140 officers were injured during pro-Trump extremists' Capitol siege \u2014 including officers who sustained brain injuries, smashed spinal discs, one who'll likely lose an eye, and another stabbed with a metal fence stake, the Capitol Police union said.https://t.co/D9jFSkKtJm
