Not hard enough in his case.

Dave we’ve discussed this before, people can be punished for their actions without resorting to just a different flavour of authoritarian rule.

I'm not sure how you can be so even-handed over this. That was a violent coup attempt and you cant handle that with kid gloves. There's no equivalence of violence there on the day: in this instance, the violence of the state was fully justified in attempting to rebuff barbarism.

By and large I would I agree that the violence by the state on that particular day was proportional to the threat (and wish the same had been the case in previous demonstrations) but that particular shot at the start of the video I don’t think was. Even on a practical level by focusing on beating the hell out of one person they left their colleagues alone to be overwhelmed and have the same thing happen to them.

And I don’t think arresting the people involved and charging them is “handling them with kid gloves”, at best most will probably lose their jobs and if you are seeking punishment well our jails are sadly very effective at providing it.

A coup? The USA government know something about coups as they orchestrate them across the globe and the body count does be very very far from one cop. If they really were attempting a coup everyone of them cops would be waisted. They were just a bunch of stupid bigoted protesters ignorantly questioning the validity of an election that occupied some buildings for selfy opportunities.

This bit is wild - a march for science had more of a police presence. That alone says there was a plan and law enforcement (pointing distinctly at USCP now) was very much a part of it

The charitable interpretation is that they didn’t want to ”provoke” but even if you buy that then it is still inexcusable that there was no backup plan if that approach failed. There really does need to be a very extensive investigation.
