I'm not certain what point it is that you are proving. All you are doing is conflating a lot of issues without any coherent thoughts. But as far as this conversation goes, I have never condoned any acts of violence from BLM. If they are participating in violent acts I will call that out equally. That excuse provides you no cover. But I do think you need to grab a dictionary and review the definition of "storm".
This is what happened. The act of storming is not uniquely defined as a military action. Also, yes, I am embarrassed/ashamed of any violence taken against the Supreme Court. I have never condoned such actions. People have the right to assemble/protest as granted by the constitution. This does not mean that violence is acceptable. You however seem to be accepting of the violence at the Capitol, yet denounce violent protests by others you disagree with. I have accepted neither groups actions.
The Capitol police invited these individuals? Did you somehow miss the part where they were smashing out windows of the Capitol? Since you keep referencing her, please watch the Ashli Babbitt video again and tell us how she gained access to the room. Was the window that she crawled through open, or did the mob of invited guests smash it out? Here is the video of Ashli Babbit again:

Also, did you catch the numerous members of congress standing behind the barricaded door in the first few seconds? What do you expect would happen if you climb through a broken out window to a room that was barricaded to prevent a mob of violent people (they smashed out the windows so yes they were violent) from gaining access to members of congress. Why do you think they felt the need to barricade the door to begin with. If BLM was climbing through that window I would also say they should have been shot. Her death, although tragic, is due to her own stupidity.
In regards to how this plan (January 6th) would work, I don't know. You might need to ask Trump. It seemed like he thought he could get the crowd to intimidate his Vice President to not certify an election as he installed fake electors in several states. It certainly was crazy, and stupid. I'm not certain how the plan was to work outside of hoping a violent crowd would be able to intimidate the certification process of the election and overturn it. Its a bit hypocritical that you are embarrassed/ashamed by those trying to intimidate Supreme Court justices yet you have no problem with the January 6th crowd.
About 114 Capitol Police Officers reported injuries from the events of that day. However, you are more than welcome to revise the list with specifics regarding the injuries of each individual officer to determine if you feel their injuries were significant enough to merit your consideration.

Also, yes, attacking someone with a metal pole does constitute being armed regardless if the person you are attacking has a gun. If you would like to disagree with that point please allow me to come down to Texas and club you with a metal pole a few times. Certainly you are armed, right? Would you refrain from shooting me simply because we were not armed equally? Does the presence of your gun make my pole less deadly if it strikes you?
I honestly don't expect any of this to have gotten through to you. You are too far gone and far too insulated within your group to have any rational discussion. If you cannot even agree that there was a violent mob present on January 6th and this was not a group of invited guests walking gleefully through the halls of the Capitol then there isn't really much left to say.

Are you in disagreement that there were a large number of officers that were injured due to the events that occurred on that day? It would be insane to deny that a violent mob did in fact storm the Capitol (for the purpose of overturning the results of the election), so there must be something in particular you are in disagreement with. But with that said, lets start out with a video involving former police officer Thomas Webster.
