One police officer was killed, almost 150 wounded. Many protestors carried Trump flags. Not all of the Trump people climbed the steps of the Capitol. There were at least 400 arrests.Over 30 major cities experienced the violence launched by Antifa and BLM and other leftist groups. Part of Portland even "seceded" from Oregon under the occupation of those rioters. Government buildings, including police stations, were attacked, a billion dollars in damage occurred, and there were many injuries.
And then, on January 6, a gang of people of diverse political leanings entered the Capitol Building and broke windows and scattered paper. Some people even sat in chairs without permission! Many of the people were ushered into the building by the guards! And no one was killed by the invaders, although an unarmed woman was murdered by a guard for no apparent reason.
To try to equate this event to the summer of destruction described above is useless, since the majority of Americans can and do know the difference.
In 2020 198 people were murdered in DC. That is almost four a week. The city has a Black mayor. Most of the perpetrators were Black. BLM did not protest these killings. The murder rate is higher in predominately Black neighborhoods.
