“I heard some hissing and I saw about eight to 10 of my Republican colleagues walk out angrily as they were announced as police officers from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6,” state Rep. Arvind Venkat (D) said in a phone interview Thursday. “I was shocked and appalled,” he added. According to Venkat, the commotion lasted about five minutes.

      Law and order never meant what many heard.

      Law and order keeps people in their place. It’s an argument for an old status quo.

      It never meant following or enforcing the laws. It’s privilege saying it doesn’t want to budge.
