Cops in Brasilia have been arrested for allowing the attempted Jan. 8 coup to take place because they agreed with the would-be putschists. Who could've seen that coming?

====

"Federal Police agents on Friday arrested the commander of the Brasilia local police and six other officers as part of an investigation into their omissions during the January 8 riots, when several thousand pro-Bolsonaro radicals stormed and ransacked the buildings of the three branches of government in Brazil's capital.

The Prosecutor General's Office today also charged the seven officers with the crimes of omission, violent attack on the rule of law, attempted coup d'etat, and crimes related to damage to public property. According to the investigation, a group within the Brasilia police 'has shown itself to have adopted conspiracy theories about electoral fraud.'"

#OrdinaryThings really needs to get a #Mastodon account...

Also good #TLDR on the failed #coup attempt of #Jan8 including the backstory needed to get the full picture.

And yes, #Bolsonaro is just another #facist - he just was too cowardly to get the Hitler moustache and facing the #ForeseeableConsequence.

Let's just hope he'll be yeet'ed back to #Brazil with a smile on #Biden's face...

@TheConversationUS As a person, who's working to subvert the existing democratic constitutional order not only of the United States, Bannon cannot be categorized as "conservative".
He's a global traveler on behalf of destabilizing & subverting democratic systems of government, be it in North America, South America, Europe or other regions.

How Steve Bannon is influencing Bolsonaro’s playbook

Lula is Brazil's President-elect. But Bolsonaro supporters continue to protest. And they're backed by the international far right.

Pence: "I have no doubt what happened here on #Jan6 [2021] influenced what happened in Brazil on #Jan8 [2023]."

@allthebrazilianpolitics If these people committed terrorist acts, what do you call the individuals, who incited them to feel free to commit acts of terrorism?

The Jan. 8 riots in #Brazil’s capital undoubtedly found a blueprint in Jan. 6—but overlooking important differences obscures the #Bolsonaro movement’s origins, path forward, and potential remedy.

@nazgul I wholeheartedly agree with your comments. Many of the people leading this movement and engaging in it are well educated. Society now is the “do and say what I want” phase egged on by politicians and leaders who do hust that, civility and consequences be damned. I am so over them all. #jan6 #jan8
