Why the passive voice here? Who exactly is doing the "allowing?"
From what I saw both Capitol police and Secret Service were doing the dual job of trying to de-escalate while securing the premises.
The obvious difference is that a) there weren't enough Capitol police so the Capitol got breached, and b) we still don't know why that was nor who may have aided the trespassers in breaching it.
That's the stuff of cheapo action movie plots. If there's a persuasive argument for believing group.chooseAtRandom() similarly breaching the White House wouldn't generate the same amount of outrage and fear, I haven't read it.
