Real Clear Investigations put together a comparison of the two things. Some polling indicates that most Americans want to see congress investigate both, but so far only the 1/6 insurrection is under investigation.
The comparison of fallout links BLM riots with a dramatic nationwide increase in homicides but decreasing arrests. It's not clear how linkage between BLM riots and increased non-BLM homicides was made, so causation maybe not be strong or present at all. The BML protests led to over 16,000 arrests, while only ~570 arrests came from the 1/6 coup attempt
Question:
1. If the 1/6 coup attempt is seen as an unwarranted partisan political attack on democracy and the central government, while the BLM protests are seen as sometimes violent responses to alleged unwarranted police use of lethal force, can the two be directly compared in terms of overall threat?
