People who swore an oath to protect and serve. They should be helping stop the melee and they didn't.

They can be anybody in daily life.

Disgruntled human inner dialog:

I don't like my life, I don't like who I am, I don't like where I am, where I'm going . . .

I'm doing my best, so not my fault, who is to blame?

Blame? . . . obviously . . . parents, my job, work mates, bosses, and overbearing gubbmint . . .

How do I make things better?

A revolution would be good, fix all my problems . . .

Now seriously, think about it - when did the overthrow of any government actually make things better for the average person?
And if the Revolution fails, might there be some negative response coming your way?

But the disgruntled, the hard done by, the 'I deserve better, get out of my way!' thinkers, that inner dialog never changes.

They could be anyone, look around, there are more of them that you think.

I sure as hell am not. Proud boys and oathkeepers are made up of their ilk. The ranks are loaded with cult stooges and reich wingers.

Numerous children left to explain mom or dad's most notable accomplishment as "insurrectionist" and "jailbird".
