I have no side, you just aren't bright enough to understand that. For your information, rioting IS a criminal act, breaking into a building without authorization, IS a crime, that woman was a criminal, even IF her criminal career had only started that day. By the way, whataboutism is not a valid defense of a hypocritical position.
What do you suppose the Capitol Police Officer was thinking? He doesn't know what the intentions were of these people. He was charged with protecting the men and women working in the Capitol and those conducting official business. That's exactly what he did. The ones who stormed the Capitol need to be held accountable. Why would they commit felony trespass, with what intention? Maybe to create a little havoc, or maybe to actually harm or kill people in the Congress or VP Pence. No one knows, and thank God it didn't come to that. What did these interlopers hope to achieve and why is anyone surprised that breaking into the Speaker's offices brought about gunfire in defense? In this respect, SSDD is absolutely right, "...rioting IS a criminal act, breaking into a building without authorization, IS a crime, that woman was a criminal, even IF her criminal career had only started that day.
