Gillibrand: White Capitol Rioters Exposed ‘Institutional Racism’ in Policing, Black Protesters ‘Would Have Been Shot’

Pam Key 7 Jan 2021

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” that the way white rioters that breached the U.S. Capitol were treated by law enforcement on Wednesday exposed “institutional racism” in law enforcement.

Gillibrand said, “One of my other concerns, Neil, is that we did not prepare for this riot in the same way that we prepared for the Black Lives Matter, nonviolent, peaceful protests.”

She added that the issue is “about this problem of institutional racism in how we look at public safety and how we look at law enforcement. Because they prepared to do something very different when black people were marching than when white people were marching. When white people came into the Capitol, broke into the Capitol, and defiled public spaces, they didn’t arrest them. They — it was as if they were on a Capitol tour. It was not done in a way that was appropriate. And there were many Capitol Police that were so brave and were violently attacked.”

Gillibrand added that it isn’t “a leap” to say that police held off because of the race of the rioters. And that black rioters “would have been shot. So, let’s be clear. We treat black people in this country and white people in this country differently.”

1. Ashli Babbit wasn't shot and killed?

2. How many times in the scores or hundreds of riots in the past year than included or were predominately black rioters did police fire a shot?

The civil rights movement is a cartoon caricature of its former self. But far more dangerous.

NO.

It was dangerous right from its beginning.

The Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were two of the worst laws ever passed by Congress.

Both doomed us to the future we are experiencing today.
