...on January 6th saved the USA Constitution. Absolutely they did. The electors went on to certify an election. It was the actions and deep commitment of those police and later the National Guard that protected the USA Constitution and allowed for the certification.
What really was an astounding reality was the lack of returned violence against the insurrectionists. There was no idea among the police and National Guard of retribution so much as training to end the violence. Those protecting the Capital used very little violence to end the siege and only once in self-defenses a gun shot.
Why is that notable because Americans on both sides of the confrontation were protected from gun violence. That is even more notable because the expectations of the insurrectionists and Trump were to display a bloodbath to end the siege. Trump would rather have innumerable deaths at the hands of police and National Guard to justify his continued campaigns against the USA Constitution.
Every law enforcement and National Guard need to be commended for their restraint in protecting not only the USA Constitution but Americans no matter the side of the confrontation. Those police and National Guard ended a civil war before it got started. We are a nation with common goals to end a virus and build a new economy rather than what could have erupted as a civil war.
There was a lot that happened that day that could have been much worse if it weren’t for a clear understanding of the value of life regardless of political/belief differences. It really is magnificent to realize all that occurred on January 6 and 7, 2021x
