"There are some who express outrage when someone kneels while calling for social justice. Where are those same people expressing the outrage to condemn the violent attack on law enforcement, the Capitol and our American democracy?

Fanone: "I was aware enough to recognize I was at risk of being stripped of and killed with my own firearm. I was electrocuted again and again and again with a taser. I'm sure I was screaming, but I don't think I could even hear my own voice." pic.twitter.com/2qgmASp6n1

Fanone: "I thought about using my firearm ... But I knew if I did, I'd be quickly overwhelmed & in their minds that would provide them w/the justification for killing me. So instead I decided to appeal to any humanity they might have. I said as loud as I could, 'I've got kids'" pic.twitter.com/8xpq6cfOWB

Sgt. Gonell asks, where are the people who get upset when people kneel to protest police brutality now. He points out that when these same Capitol Police responded to Black Lives Matter protests “we had all the support we needed.”
