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

There was an organized militia within the rioters. They must be arrested and charged with treason.

Two Black officers told BuzzFeed News that THEIR CHIEF and other UPPER MANAGEMENT left them totally unprepared and were NOWHERE to be found on the day. Some fought them off for two hours before the attackers eventually gained access.

Many widely spread images of smiling marauders, wandering the halls dressed in absurd costumes, had the effect of downplaying how well prepared some of the rioters were to overtake the building & even capture & kill Congress members. Listen at 8 sec

At 8 sec: "Yo we need everybody in here now. Take the paperwork. Take those papers" an organized militia can be heard saying.

“That was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us,” said the officer, who has been with the department for more than a decade. “They had radios, we found them, they had two-way communicators and earpieces. They had bear spray. Flash bangs.

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Rendall Brock Jr. with Joshua Matthew Black:

Look, it's a PR war. Okay? You have to understand, it's an IO war. We can't lose the IO war.

[Man] Hawley, Cruz.
I think Cruz would want us to do this, so.
Yeah, absolutely

Outside the Capitol a noose hangs on a makeshift gallows.

MAGA Mob storms the Capitol
"If they don't fix this sh*t, we're gonna fu*king take this... Millions of Americans are armed. To protect the Constitution of the United States, against enemies foreign and domestic... F**k you police"

I've been wanting to write this thread for a while. It has been inspired by hearing a common thought: why can't people just "listen"? If people just followed the rules, we wouldn't be in this mess. I think this is oversimplification of the problem with COVID: 1/

It is true, there are people who haven't been following guidelines (by definition that happened a LOT at Christmas/NYE in my region), but even before, we know transmission in private gatherings happens. 2/

These private gatherings are pictured to be big raucous parties, but in reality, even before lockdown, this is just people having dinner, watching TV, doing things we did before on a daily basis. These little ripples when added across the country make a big wave.. 3/

...and little can be done about this apart from positive messaging. You can't very well have police patrolling neighbourhoods across the country. 4/

Next thing is we keep hearing over and over and over, stay home. There are diminishing returns with this advice, but also, most people who can stay home ARE. So what's the issue? There are a HUGE # of people who can't stay home because they work in essential jobs 5/

What did failure and going broke teach me?
Here are some of the top few things I learnt.
1. You rarely learn things overnight.Honestly I learnt things over a period of time.I failed 6 years back and today I feel,yes I have learnt a few things.There is no hurry. No exam happening

2. MOST IMPORTANTLY. Failure isn't the end and it's ok to fail. It is not your desired state of affairs but it won't end. Learn to pick up the pieces and try for another day. As Scarelett O'Hara "After all Tomorrow is another day"

3. Don't romanticise failure. It is not something you want people to go through. While it's important to remind people, world won't end, don't make it look like its some romantic notion that every successful person should go through. It isn't

4. It's absolutely fine not to be able to talk about your failure. There is no greatness in speaking about it. I do, cause I came out of it.And yet it took me time. I know how much I struggled to deal with the blow. How ashamed I felt of letting all down. It's part of the process

5. Go for therapy. If you a start up person, reach out to people. Today's start up world is different. People help each other. Reach out. There is a world out there willing to help you. There will be people who will shun you (but you will find more of them when you successful)
