Sure, but how many books can you kill at one time?

Like on January 6?
Who said Jan 6 was faltering?

Suspended with pay. But I was implying the cops didn't "falter." Enough of them were in favor of it and some were actually there as part of the insurrection.
I'm not sure what your point is. They failed the elected members of Congress which means they faltered
My point is is that the cops, who you quote replied their role as protest/riot suppression for the government, were on the side of the rioters and insurrectionists on Jan 6.
You admitted that enough of them were in favour of the insurrection and some were part of it.
Allow me to quote a great political philosopher of our time: Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
There are quite a few people embedded in our political machinery, in congress, in the supreme court and held the presidency, that are actively working on overthrowing the government and replacing it a fascist state. The police who showed up and supported the jan 6 insurrection are doing exactly what that contingent of fascists want, they did not falter, they did exactly what their superiors wanted.
