If it wasn't testing their loyalty, it would be just a riot.
It is not surprising that 10 to 15 might have failed this test.
Sad, but not surprising.
We should all thank whatever deity we worship that it was such a low percentage.
History teachers that whenever you let loose the whirlwind of taking power outside legal means, it swirls and swirls and you can't be sure who will end up on top.

LOL.  You just can't let go of the word 'insurrection".  

But wait, you've contradicted yourself for the nth time!  News of this possible police complicity (or failure to act) has just come to light.  According to you, it's a necessary component of insurrection, without which this event would have been "just a riot", yet you've been insisting it was an insurrection for days!  How is this possible?
