Why was there such a discrepancy between the BLM response and the Capitol Building riot response?

This is part of the answer:

Capitol Police rejected offers of federal help to quell mob

Three days before supporters of President Donald Trump rioted at the Capitol, the Pentagon asked the U.S Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower. And as the mob descended on the building Wednesday, Justice Department leaders reached out to offer up FBI agents. The police turned them down both times, according to senior defense officials and two people familiar with the matter.

On January 6, 2021, my local radio station (KNX1070) was actively comparing last year's BLM response to this year's response (over done compared to none), and talked with a Representative about how "locked down" the Capitol building was (not at all).

But this topic won't last beyond January 6, 2021 in the m$m.

It's now looking more and more like this Beer Belly Putsch was a coordinated effort.
They had zip ties and had built an actual gallows in front of the capital where they were going to hang congressional leadership and even the vice president.
That's right, these brave patriots were trying to lynch a group of dangerous ...grandma's and grandpa's.

This thread will explode after the election if Joe wins. It'll explode if the orange turd wins, too.

Reichwing violence is a permanent feature of fascism.
