Capitol and race
The idea that the level and force of policing would have been no different had it been a BLM protest storming the Capitol is not a good one. Sam uses the counterfactual of white antifa protesters and suggests the policing would’ve been more intense. But it’s fairly obvious that both can be true: that policing would’ve been more intense against both white antifa and black/racially diverse BLM protesters based on police antipathy or a set of assumptions about violence likely to result (or on the flip side empathy for the Trump mob evidenced by cops taking selfies etc). I understand that police at many/most BLM protests showed restraint, but there have also been a huge real number of reported incidents of police violence, kettling, etc., and I’m not sure why Sam is quite so resistant to the possibility of race playing a factor in police prep and response.
