They should beef up security. And keep it open. And not so obvious.
The simple fact of the matter is that a violent riot stormed the capitol building and nearly overwhelmed local forces. Congress asked for extra help and it wasn't provided. Governors asked if they could send in the guard to help and the man whom stoked the riot gave no permission.
It's a fucking miracle that January 6th wasn't one of the worst days in the history of the US.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoUm, the police waved them through. It was in cooperation with Capitol police. No 'overwhelming' necessary. Which is worrisome in a whole nother way. https://twitter.com/bumbera_steven/status/1347270969988173825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1347342530506010634%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.13newsnow.com%2Farticle%2Fnews%2Fus-capitol-police-complicit-in-dc-riots-worries-us-congressman%2F65-c6b49029-f067-4dec-88ed-c58371630501 https://twitter.com/bumbera_steven/status/134727096998817382... <edit> video

- dxdm 6y agoLook at the videos, no waving through going on, quite the opposite. One woman was shot by police and died.

- bcrosby95 6y ago8 second videos don't tell much of a story. That is them falling back because they didn't have enough people to hold the perimeter. Here is a longer video of them at one of the entrances of the building: https://youtu.be/cJOgGsC0G9U?t=140 https://youtu.be/cJOgGsC0G9U?t=140
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoMy mistake. It was a chaotic, violent situation. I shouldn't make snap judgements from cherry-picked shots. Sorry.
- O_H_E 6y agoOne gotta love a reply like that these days. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being an awesome human being.
- kube-system 6y agoThey should have appropriate security when large events are going on outside. But I sure hope we do not see barricades between representatives and their constituents on a normal day. Democracies rely on trust in both directions.
