Yes, shouting at elected officials totally compares to forcing your way into the Capitol, making congresspeople flee for their lives, looting their offices, and killing a cop.

Nobody killed a cop. A cop killed a protester.

Get out of your bubble. The cop's name was Brian D. Sicknick, and he died from injuries sustained fighting the rioters.

According to Capitol police, the rioters "actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers."
