That's part of the issue though. Difficult to keep in check means militarizing our Capitol. That's not a good thing and is bad on many levels.

- naasking 5y agoWhy? There are over 1,500 capitol police officers. That's more than enough. Militarizing the capitol the way they did was total overkill; security theatre that they used to get a bigger budget.
- dariusj18 5y agoBecause security is an illusion, and theater is a part of that. January 6th shattered part of that illusion and, having happened, it is now a part of the consciousness. Every protest will now be a possible threat, a chance for fear to win. Until there is enough time passed for it to fade it must not be reproduced. Also, I don't want a situation where 1500 capitol police even have to defend our institutions. Getting to that point is already a major lose.
