On the other hand, I think it's fully correct to respond to the POLITICIANS who are exploiting the situation for their own gain. Not that this is new, politicians have been doing this for centuries.
I suppose it's all right to say something about the officers who testified that they are being used. For me that's shaky and I'm going to refrain from comment until the testimony gets off the events of January 6th and starts talking about the causes.

I don't doubt they had a hard time and the riot should never have happened. It is the obvious exaggeration and melodrama that I object to.

If you're not careful you'll soon be declaring that it was a "mostly peaceful protest"

The four officers were sworn in prior to presenting their testimony. Do you believe their testimony was false? And, if so, do you think the four of them should be charged with perjury?Last edited by Sparko; 07-28-2021, 09:38 AM.

I believe the four carefully chosen officers are presenting accounts so shaded, massaged, and narrow relative to the whole event that they are dishonest; in casual terms, yes, they are lying.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
