If the sea of rioters who stormed the Capitol were not largely white, the outcome would have been far more deadly, House sergeant-at-arms William Walker—who was head of the D.C. National Guard on the day of the insurrection—said in his testimony to the Jan. 6 committee. Walker said he thought that, if the majority of the rioters were Black, law enforcement would have resorted to using deadly force, according to an interview transcript released Tuesday.
“I’m African American. Child of the sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker said, adding, “As a law enforcement officer, there were—I saw enough to where I would have probably been using deadly force.” President Joe Biden has also previously mentioned the comparison in how officers handled the rioters and how they handled 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd.

Had they been black we would have been told that it was “a mostly peaceful protest” and that we have to look at the “root cause” to see why so many people don’t trust the government. After rewarding them handsomely like the Gorge Floyd rioters were the whole thing would have been forgotten and buried.
the rioters were non violent unlike antifa and BLM and still a minority cop killed an UNARMED white woman
What a classic unqualified incompetent affermative action racist. Everything is opposites. It was the black Michael Byrd who MURDERED the unarmed WHITE female Ashli Babbitt in cold blood!!! How did this unelected bum, Walker, get to his position?!
Breakfast.
First “insurrection” in history where the “insurrectionists” were only armed with a horned hat.Quit using the Demonrats’ “insurrection” nonsense. It was a mostly peaceful protest in which an unarmed protester was murdered in old blood by a Capital Police officer, as opposed to the BLM/Antifa rioters that murdered and maimed people ,including law enforcement.
All sheker and propaganda. So pathetic.
“who was head of the D.C. National Guard on the day of the insurrection…”
It was not an insurrection, no matter how many times they repeat that lie.
In addition, the authorities at the Capitol waved those peaceful protestors into the Capitol building.
And on and on and on…
