If the sea of rioters who stormed the Capitol were not largely white, the outcome would have been far more deadly, House sergeant-at-arms William Walker—who was head of the D.C. National Guard on the day of the insurrection—said in his testimony to the Jan. 6 committee. Walker said he thought that, if the majority of the rioters were Black, law enforcement would have resorted to using deadly force, according to an interview transcript released Tuesday.
“I’m African American. Child of the sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker said, adding, “As a law enforcement officer, there were—I saw enough to where I would have probably been using deadly force.” President Joe Biden has also previously mentioned the comparison in how officers handled the rioters and how they handled 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd.
Just now finding this out? Yeah okay, duh dude.
Bwahahahas! Racism always interjected by wokeness. Why is that?
Do the writer of this nonsense see how stupid the statement is. The black man who is in charge of enforcing the law think that he will enforce the more on black people. He is blaming who I may ask?
What was the law enforcement response to the BLM riots?
He’s on point here 😫
MaggieDay55 Where was the National Guard on January 6?
Nancy Pelosi was in charge. Are you saying she is racist? Just stop YOUR RACISM . YOU are racist. NOTHING was done when BLM tried to break down The White House fence, injured 69 Secret Service agents & set the Guard Tower on fire. I watched in horror as that was ignored.
Pls check the security in the capitol when it was the women march . 100 times more cops . amazing
No, Pelosi et al want blacks to riot in mostly black areas. DC is not that. Pelosi WANTED white rioters. Ray Epps and his antifa helpers obliged her desire. A bit weird as she was filming it with her daughter while hoping that Trump would show up so she could arrest him.
Of course RT : William J. Walker, who was head of the D.C. National Guard on Jan. 6, said the law enforcement response would have been far different if rioters were Black.
It was about time someone spoke about this.
Yeah, the police response was, 'Oh, c'mon fellas, behave.' Sounds like the Uvalde, Texas police when they chickened out.
And water is wet…. Duh!
Without a doubt! Maga beast feeling moist in their feelings as usual. The truth is the truth!
There should have been an air strike against the insurrectionists.
What's the percentage of white deaths on Jan 6 to total people vs the percentage of black deaths during the BLM riots to rioters/ protesters?
Oh I cannot wait for this comment section to pop off.
100% correct.
No lies told!
VShapiro It would have been different if they were not TRUMP supporters. Everything else is extra..
And he is 100% right.
fact
I doubt race would have made much difference. However, if the rioters were all wearing masks with Antifa and BLM signs then the capitol would have been burned down and called “a mostly peaceful protest” and people arrested would have been bailed out by high profile Democrats.
I see no lies here
True, Ashley Babbitt was shot dead and the January 6th rioters are being prosecuted and held in solitary, whereas the summer 2020 rioters had police kneeling to them all over the country
It is easy to play the race card.
Banana cleaner 😁
Sad but likely true...
I’m paralyzed and I’m trying to raise money to help me get treatments to help me walk again. Can you help please share and donate to help give me a chance please. Anything will help please
Duh
Trump made sure to hogtie the National Guard and then blamed Speaker Pelosi. Only the president controls the National Guard in the District of Columbia and he declined the requests.

We know this to not be true considering the looting/rioting/pillaging of our cities in 2020-2021 from Black Lives Matter. But nice try.
How does this help?
They would have been embrace, as they should.
He's absolutely right.
👍
Zzzzz.
No s**t Sherlock. If those had been African Americans storming the Capitol they would have been vaporized by every military force in the country.
He's not wrong
Jesus help us from this crazy thinking. He is just wrong.
Ummmmm…….we’re AA’s targeted in the gazillion riots we had across the nation? Look at me, I’m a victim.
1000% true ☝️
Black cop shot unarmed white woman because of her race?
I'm from the sixties so something that didn't happen probably would have happened
🤔 Was he born & raised in Africa? Which country? When did he arrive in the United States? Is his family still in Africa? Or was he born & raised in the United States and is actually a 💯 American Man? Is he ashamed to be a Black American Man? What’s wrong w being Black American?
You are correct! Unfortunately
again, you missed the actual point. If you look at how many blacks conduct themselves, the answer is in front of your eyes. They lie cheat steal kill molest and complain about history more than any other group. I grew up at the same time, I saw the 10% who learned.
In the Sixties the Press weren't so left leaning and would have called out the shenanigans that were pulled during the 2020 election and January 6th wouldn't have occurred.
Banana cleaner 🤠
Look what they did to peaceful protesters when MangoMoron wanted a photo op at a church.
Yep
And, if not killed, the rest would be in prison for life.
He’s not lying
Always 'what if'....always. It did not happen, but let's pretend it might have.
