You’re being dishonest.

Cops were undermanned and overrun. Their choice was extreme violence that would probably result in a lot of people getting hurt including themselves and still not stopping the crowd or they hold as long as they can then let the people by - giving congress time to evacuate or shelter in place. Clearly they chose option 2.

The question is who was responsible for security that day? Apparently the pentagon limited the DC Nat guard from making a show of force and prohibited them from being armed or having riot gear. Where did that directive come from? Who heads that department?

how is that possible when the Mayor of DC was talking for a week about "violent Trump supporters" and them being dealt with. I have never seen Trump supporters be violent at ANY other rally but somehow Bowser predicts violence and yet still isnt prepared? Not buying it, chief.

Also, who controls/manages the Capitol Police?

No there are plenty of videos of the guards opening gates and fences, and even taking selfies with the people.

Of course it was a show, and probably a show within the show. <------- Anyone that doesn't think this was planned at a higher level is an idiot at this point.

What you are talking about is kind of fake news, sure there was probably security not in on the show... so those put up resistance. But many of the security were actively involved.

Matter of fact, where the girl got shot... right behind her appeared to be LE

Exactly. The officers on the ground made the decision of "lives over property." By falling back and giving access to the invaders, they were able to buy time for lawmakers and staffers to move to safety.

Many congressmen are crediting the Capitol police with saving lives. Meanwhile, one of their own was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher.
