RICK GREEN (FORMER TEXAS STATE LEGISLATOR): Well, on the bright side, we're finally hearing Democrats say nice things about police officers, so there is that. Where were these guys over the last year -- 576 violent clashes, 2,000 police officers injured, billions of dollars in property damage, dozens, not one or two, dozens of people killed and the Democrats didn't have anything nice to say about the police. Then, in fact, Kamala Harris encourage people to bail out the folks that were creating that violence. And yet, people arrested on the January 6 event can't get bail. So there's definitely a two-tiered justice system.
Look, the important question here is if this was a real investigation, we'd be asking why in the world -- who gave the stand down order -- why in the world was there not enough police officers there? And I got to say, one of the officers said, you know, Donald Trump was egging them on instead of sending help. Donald Trump wanted more military presence -- that wanted military presence there, and more police officers there, and it was turned down. So why did Nancy Pelosi allow this situation to happen in the first place? And why are we not asking the questions about all the video we've seen of Capitol police officers literally removing the barricades and inviting people into the Capitol? What they're after here is to take the violent -- the ones that should be put in jail for the violence and attacking police officers -- taking those few and trying to make it look like anybody that ever supported Donald Trump was a part of that. In fact, that was FBI informants, antifa, BLM -- very radical anti-Trump people, we already know that -- that were involved in this. And they're trying to make it look like anybody that ever supported Trump was part of that. We cannot allow that false narrative to take place. And they're ignoring the failure of the decision-makers. I want to know who gave the stand down order. That's the question that should be asked.
