Capitol police where ordered to "stand down." That's why it happened. Pelosi wanted a photo op, and she got it.Astounding how unarmed protestors were able to physically overcome trained police forces, injuring over 100 officers, including brain damage from being beaten with flagpoles. Constitutional republic and democracy are NOT mutually exclusive terms. And the distinction has absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump's attempted insurrection of January 6th.
REPUBLIC: a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
DEMOCRACY:
a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
"capitalism and democracy are ascendant in the third world"
a state governed by a democracy.
control of an organization or group by the majority of its members
Which officer suffered brain damage? I haven't seen any claims about that.
