A US Capitol Police officer blamed department leadership for leaving the force understaffed last week for the pro-Trump protest that resulted in rioters storming the Capitol building and wreaking havoc.
The officer asked to remain anonymous, citing department policy not to talk to the media without permission.
He said he was working the night shift last week and found it "puzzling" that he and his colleagues were sent home earlier than expected on Wednesday. He also said nobody asked him to come back after the attack.
Insider contacted the Capitol Police for comment twice but had not received a response by Monday, two days after the first request.
The officer said everybody in the department knew in advance about the pro-Trump march and thought it would be an all-hands-on-deck situation.

The acting Sec of Defense is a Trump lackey, appointed by him after he lost the election. The DoD is disputing that Sund requested help. Sund had to know personnel schedules.
Time will tell. I hope. Maybe Miller and Sund are both lying.
