"The Capitol Police did an amazing job"? No, they did a horrible job. They could not hold off a bunch of untrained dopes who for all practical purposes were unarmed. A reasonably trained team of well armed assailants would have slaughtered every person in that building. They were less than professional during the demonstration, caught completely off guard and could not repel a bunch of fucking kids. The whole fucking lot of them should be fired. Fuck all this phoney hero worship. These losers were pathetic.
There were only a handful of Trump demonstrators who entered the Capitol building and they surrendered with numerous photos showing them on the ground and police with long rifles pointed at them. And yet, BLM/Antifa thugs occupied the Capitol (I believe it was during the bogus impeachment of Nadler, Pelosi and Schiff) and camped inside, filling it up yet, police would not even touch or bother any of them. They stayed inside for multiple days. Sheer stupidity times 10. All designed to strip Americans of their rights. It is coming.
Barr condemns Trump: "Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable" https://www.axios.com/trump-barr-capitol-mob-73da61e7-370b-4cc8-873f-fa19a885a2cd.html Former Attorney General Bill Barr said in a statement to the AP on Thursday that President Trump's incitement of a march by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol was a "betrayal of his office." Why it matters: As one of the most loyal members of Trump's Cabinet, Barr backed the president through some of the most high-stakes controversies of his tenure, including the use of force against protesters steps away from the White House and his impeachment proceedings for abuse of power. Barr resigned last month after tensions boiled over with Trump, who had grown angry with him over his refusal to declare widespread voter fraud in the election and expedite the release of the Durham report. In his last press conference before departing the Justice Department, Barr contradicted Trump repeatedly on questions about Hunter Biden, voting machines and Russia's hack of the U.S. government. What he's saying: Barr told the AP that “orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable." Flashback: In response to the siege, which led to over a dozen arrests and several deaths reported by D.C. police, Trump urged his supporters "to go home" in a video roughly two hours after the incident began. "We love you. You're very special. ... I know how you feel. But go home, and go home in peace," Trump said, after repeating false claims that the election was stolen from him.
Considering the size of the mob, they would have had only one choice... But that would have really messed up the building itself.
Wow, just wow. Whoever made that decision needs to be brought up on charges. These are supposed to be the most serious cops on the planet and they do this? One might almost think the whole thing was planned with plenty of people on the inside working in conjunction with the mob. Normally I don't support investigations by government on government, but this needs a deeper look.
