Reply to comment by RN4Veterans in Ex-Capitol Police officer 'betrayed' oath by warning Jan. 6 rioter about Facebook posts, prosecutor says by Phatbrew

Meanwhile, video feed from the people who attended the insurrection actively shoot down everything you've said.

> Amazingly, there are videos showing the Capotial Police opening the doors and waving people in.

Yes, they had plenty of video of pulling at cop's weapons, attacking them with a pole and fire extinguisher, and screaming that the Capitol police were traitors to the country.

Yawn.

Yes, and a Capital Police officer shooting an unarmed woman. Guess you didn't see the hearings where the FBI was forced to admit the ones yelling and pushing the Capital Police were FBI agents...yawn... But no, you want to stay WOKE and not really examine the videos of those there.

...

> The dark mood started three weeks after the riot when it suddenly emerged that Enrique Tarrio, the group’s leader, had himself worked as an F.B.I. informant well before he joined the Proud Boys.

> Mr. Tarrio was not at the Capitol on Jan. 6, having been ordered by a local judge to stay away from Washington after his arrest days earlier on charges of illegally possessing ammunition magazines and burning a Black Lives Matter banner after a pro-Trump rally in December. He is currently serving a five-month sentence on the charges.

So. Is your argument that:

  1. The Proud Boys were not involved
  2. The Proud Boys are actually part of the FBI
  3. The FBI was actually behind the riot

Sound right?

Or is it a simpler explanation that the FBI was slow to react because of its general doofiness?

Just saying things is not evidence. Links to all the things you’re saying — that are all public record — please.
