People Are Comparing The Response Trump Supporters Received For Their Protests To BLM (29 Pics)

As people watched President Donald Trump's supporters storm the Capitol building in Washington, DC, they noticed a difference in how the police, media, and the whole USA, in general, reacted to it when compared to the Black Lives Matter protests last year.

So they turned to social media to point out that the demonstrations back then—which broke out across the country in response to police killings of unarmed Black people, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor—were often met with a brutal response from law enforcement, including the use of tear gas and physical violence.
