After nightfall in Washington on Wednesday, a group of deranged pro-Hamas protesters decided it'd be a good idea to storm the Democratic National Committee. As RedState reported, things began as a "protest" but quickly got violent after the U.S. Capitol Police tried to disperse the crowd.
In the end, six police officers were injured. Some were punched and others were bear-sprayed, as hundreds of rioters ignored orders to leave the area. Videos showed numerous physical confrontations as officers tried to pull those trying to break into the DNC away from the doors. Meanwhile, Congressional members were trapped inside, unable to evacuate for a period of time.
So how many people were arrested? Are you ready for this? The answer is one. A single person was arrested.

Last night approximately 200 people gathered in front of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters to protest the conflict in the Middle East.
We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night’s group was not peaceful. The crowd failed to obey our lawful orders to move back from the DNC, where Members of Congress were in the building.
When the group moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed our officers and attempted to pick up the bike rack, our teams quickly introduced consequences – pulling people off the building, pushing them back, and clearing them from the area, so we could safely evacuate the Members and staff.
Six officers were treated for injuries, from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched.
24-year old Ruben Arthur Camacho of Woodbridge, NY, was arrested for Assault on a Police Officer after an officer witnessed Camacho slam another officer into a garage door and then punch the female officer in the face.
Let's go over what's admitted in that statement and then the final result. The USCP admits that the entire group of protesters helped foment of a violent riot in which numbers of them attempted to illegally block the exit of the DNC while members of Congress were trapped inside. The USCP also admits that the rioters refused to disperse when given a lawful command to do so. Lastly, the USCP admits that six officers were injured.
With all that in mind, the USCP made one arrest.
Keep in mind, this is the same law enforcement agency that helped track down every single person who was present on January 6th, including those who did nothing but meander around on the balcony taking selfies, not even knowing what was really happening. But when it comes to left-wing rioters endangering members of Congress, trespassing, and trying to storm a building as part of an attempt at political terrorism, only one person gets arrested.
Is there any better illustration of the two-tiered justice system? Left-wing protesters (and whatever they escalate into) have a free hand to essentially do anything. They can storm and occupy the buildings. They can fight police officers. They can destroy property and desecrate monuments. All of it is treated with a slap on the wrist because they support the Democratic Party.
Ask yourself how many Republicans would have been arrested on Wednesday night if they had tried to storm the DNC. The answer is every single one of them. Ultimately, this is why the left-wing violence that is plaguing the nation isn't going to stop. There's no deterrent. Law enforcement officials and the justice system are hopelessly biased. Whether they are being forced to by political leaders or not isn't relevant anymore. If they won't speak up at this point, they are culpable.
