These protests are generally angling to get arrested because they want to be disruptive and make noise and get attention (note that this is a good tactic and these people are incredibly brave and laudible). It just doesn't require Pelosi to be antagonistic towards them for this to have happened. I'm sure there are lots of other offices there, as well. 200 people standing in a hallway is disruptive by nature, which cops hate. My friend just told me that Pelosi actually delayed the police action so she could dress up in a uniform and join in the arresting.

DC (Capitol) police are some of the most professional and understanding officers you'll ever deal with, but you are a brokebrain if you don't think they'll not arrest you for this kind of thing of their own volition. But you'll also be let go without charges. It's mostly to get you to leave. I've worked in DC a long time, they're good folks.

Skex posted:Sigh , we've had this discussion multiple times over the last two years and what it comes down to is that Trump has spent the majority of his presidency alienating the groups that would be required to pull of a successful coup, without the IC, National Law enforcement (read FBI) and Military on his side such an action would be impossible for him. I mean yeah he could declare the election invalid, he could declare what ever the gently caress he wants but come inauguration day the Secret service would escort his rear end to the door as the new administration takes power. I guess I should clarify I'm less worried about a coup and more worried about him inciting some crazy MAGA cultist to go shoot up the people counting the ballots because "the Democrats are trying to steal the election". Hell, I'm vaguely worried that someone's going to do that in Florida over this election.

The Library of Congress used to have its own police force. This is like asking who ratted out a 200-person protest to the campus cops at a small college.

The story of how his money really started the erosion of politics in WV always makes my blood boil: quote:In 1997, Blankenship’s maneuvers pushed a smaller operation into bankruptcy. Its owner, Hugh Caperton, sued Blankenship for fraudulent contract practices, eventually winning a $50 million judgment in 2002. But that was only the beginning. With the case coming up on appeal before the West Virginia Supreme Court, Blankenship brought his coal-baron tactics to the courtroom. "And for the Sake of the Kids"

It's nice to see some pushes from the left for the Dems. Their complacency has gotten pretty bad and a lot of them have forgotten what their jobs are supposed to be. Hopefully this trend continues.

Rent-A-Cop posted:What world do you live in where cops just go around doing poo poo out of the goodness of their hearts? Yes, probably a Captain or someone else in the police chain of command, who upon hearing about a two-hundred person protest in the halls of the Capitol Building, said "go break up that protest because that's not authorized." Protestors who refused to leave were then arrested, and they will be released later. Nancy Pelosi does not personally oversee the DC Police.

You don't know that. They also weren't in her office, and there are definitely other offices nearby. They were in a hallway. Let's criticize Dems for the bad things they do and not speculate, it undermines credibility. There are plenty more legitimate, substantive things to criticize them for.

That is not how the Capitol Police work, no. My evidence that your personal, unsubstantiated assumptions cannot be trusted is the fact that you weren't aware that the Capitol Police would know about a protest with hundreds of people, even though they are literally stationed in the Capitol. Because you weren't even aware that they are a distinct police force that only patrols the Capitol. Like, cops don't need a reason to clear out 200 unapproved protesters from an indoor space. That's not an out-of-ordinary thing for cops to do.
