It doesn’t matter whether it’s congress or chief of police or the city administration, assigning 1 officer per 500 people or whatever the ratio is just absurd. Especially considering it’s a political rally and one that occurred AFTER all the chaos of the 2020 riots. Any decent planner should have realized that a political rally can turn into a riot in a flash Then afterwards Congress spent millions upon millions of dollars to “secure” the capital against future attacks that didn’t happen. I’m not calling that a complete waste, because maybe secretly there was some plan to attack the capital again that was deterred by the ridiculous police-state levels of security. Buuuut it’s way too reactive when the city admin should have been proactive | |||

I mean we’ve been having massive, actual riots since Obama was in office (thanks, Obama)
This was not a riot, and there’s overwhelming evidence that police escorted them in to take pictures and leave. I think 1 cop per 500 is too much tbh since no police were needed. Especially that one dude who didn’t get the memo and shot an innocent woman | ||

Oh look. All the guns, knifea, tomahawks, axes, hatchets, poles, tasers, mace, shields, sticks, more poles, more sticks, more knifes. There were hundreds of weapons, a few guns. At least a few dozen rounds floating around in the crowd on those gun belts.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...eapons-charges Here is a short list. ▪ At least a dozen firearms and several high-capacity magazines containing hundreds of rounds of ammunition. ▪ Several tasers and stun guns, among them a “Hike n’ Strike” walking stick capable of delivering a 950,000-volt shock and the one a Southern California defendant, Daniel Rodriguez, allegedly used against a Washington, D.C., police officer who suffered a heart attack. ▪ Makeshift explosives, including a firecracker and 11 mason jars filled with flammable liquid accompanied by lighters and rags. ▪ Knives, axes and “several machetes.” ▪ Bear spray, pepper spray and other unidentified irritant sprays — used liberally enough to create a “chemical fog,” according to a lawsuit filed by Capitol Police officers against Trump and others. ▪ Fire extinguishers, also used to spray and bludgeon police officers. ▪ Batons, clubs, riot shields, ax handles, planks and furniture. ▪ Numerous poles, some sharpened, often attached to American and Trump flags, used in several cases to beat, stab and slash police officers. ▪ A large, metal Trump campaign sign deployed as a battering ram against those protecting the building. ▪ Sporting equipment used to hit officers, including baseball bats, a hockey stick and a skateboard. ▪ A crossbow, a whip and a spear. | ||

It was the police, right? It was their fault for not having a thousand officers there and trusted the christian patriots, the honest people of america, to act like human beings. I guess that was just too much to expect from the GOP. 20 mins later, they were smearing shit everywhere then looting and jumping around like a bunch of animals hootin and hollering. | |||
