🤔Why did Brazil arrest 400 insurrectionists on the same day as the insurrection? Degree of difficulty very low! Unimpressive!

Why didn't their security force just let the insurrectionists walk away, and then wait for unpaid volunteer anti-fascist groups to painstakingly build their cases for them through video analysis and online detective work, and then only arrest a fraction of the violent people over a year later with some light charges? Degree of difficulty:10/10! Now that's impressive!🦅🇺🇲

@mekkaokereke There is a simple answer: in the US the insurrectionists controlled the executive branch of government. Here in Brazil, they do not.

@[email protected] @[email protected] 1) The executive branch doesn't control the FBI. That's, kind of the whole point? 2) If a state capitol were overrun with heavily armed protestors (some in boogaloo shirts!) threatening harm to the governor and public health officials, presumably the governor would use some of the government resources to make immediate arrests? Nope. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zXXFf0Q2bcU It doesn't matter who's in charge. In US we let these people run wild, even though that's not working for us
