At the most fundamental level, the Trump admin is still treating peaceful protesters as the aggressors and the heavily armed government militias as the victims, even though Homan, Miller, Noem, Trump have spent months torquing them into a frenzy of hate and telling them they can act with impunity.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Cops enjoy being judge, jury and executioner. Or the arbiter of clemency and forgiveness. All according to their whim.
For some reason today, seeing Alex Pretti beaten, disarmed, then executed, I remembered how calmly cops took Dylann Roof and then went out and got him Burger King.
