2. Bit harsh to denigrate all the police. They were set up to fail and left dangling with little or no

support.

Many tried their best from what I can tell. And at least one died doing his job.

It's starting to look like there was a definite effort to reduce law enforcement numbers.

“Despite ample warnings about pro-Trump demonstrations in Washington, U.S. Capitol Police did not bolster staffing on Wednesday and made no preparations for the possibility that the planned protests could escalate into massive violent riots,” the AP reports.

“The revelations shed new light on why Capitol police were so quickly overrun by rioters. The department had the same number of officers in place as on a routine day. While some of those officers were outfitted with equipment for a protest, they were not staffed or equipped for a riot.”

“Once the mob began to move on the Capitol, a police lieutenant issued an order not to use deadly force, which explains why officers outside the building did not draw their weapons as the crowd closed in.”
