BLM protesters/rioters were largely left alone by Police to run rampant throughout last year, so I find this idea that the Police would have treated those that stormed the capitol building more harshly if they were black, a bit strange.
Well, according to this analysis by Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project
Demonstrations associated with the right-wing have been met with law enforcement intervention far less frequently relative to BLM-linked demonstrations: under 4% of events, compared to nearly 10% of events. When authorities have engaged demonstrations associated with BLM, they have used force — such as firing less-lethal weapons like tear gas, rubber bullets, and pepper spray or beating demonstrators with batons — more than 51% of the time, compared to only 34% for right-wing demonstrations
