My thoughts on the Capital police, Park Police and any supporting police force that tried & failed

to control the tRump terrorist mob on 1/6.

As a party we have been against militarizing police forces & for good reasons, the Capital Police & support agencies should not have been put in a position to stop hundreds of angry RW terrorists anyway, they are not equipped for that nor should they be. The Feds had plenty of time and warning to put NG in place to negate this terrorist attack but it was blocked by the terrorist, criminal tRump administration. I do not want a police force equipped & trained to deal with a mass attack, that job should only be done by the military, the military that we spend 700 billion dollars a year on to defend us. Using the National Guard of coarse, not the way tRump's bible thumping skit was handled.

necessary steps were not taken until it was too late.

At least we have a Dem Congress to run the investigations and not another Benghazi kangaroo court.

Put sycophants in place to slow walk an efficient, effective, and professional response. Gum up the operation so things go in your favor. Overload the system with so much chaos and mayhem it becomes inoperative and totally dysfunctional.

We are well acquainted with Disaster Capitalism,.... this is Disaster, (Chaos & Mayhem) Governance.
