ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The breach at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday has drawn sharp condemnation of law enforcement.⁣ ⁣ Americans looked on in shock as a calm protest turned into an angry mob that swarmed past barriers and stormed the Capitol — spraying officers with chemical agents, breaking windows and doors and looting sizable objects — as the Capitol Police struggled to contain the violence and sometimes simply retreated.⁣ ⁣ The police force, which numbers about 2,000 officers and has sole jurisdiction over the Capitol’s buildings and grounds, was clearly outnumbered and unprepared for the onslaught, even as it was openly organized on social media sites like Gab and Parler.⁣ ⁣ It took more than two hours, and reinforcements from other law enforcement agencies, before order was restored. At least 52 people were arrested, said Robert Contee, chief of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department, including five on weapons charges and at least 26 on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.⁣ ⁣ Protesters on the left saw a stark double standard, saying they had been hit with rubber bullets, manhandled, surrounded and arrested while behaving peacefully during demonstrations against racial injustice over the summer.⁣ ⁣ Attica Scott, a state representative in Kentucky, was arrested in Louisville on felony charges that were later dropped during the many months of protest over the killing of Breonna Taylor in a botched police raid. “You can be arrested for walking while Black,” she said, “but you can be white and riot and basically get away with it.”⁣ ⁣ President Trump’s own rhetoric has included stark contrasts toward protests. After George Floyd’s death, he called demonstrators “thugs” and promised that those who got out of line near the White House would be met with “the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen.”⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in our bio for a full look into the criticism.
