In recent years I have felt police forces have been infiltrated with RW leaning, former military individuals. Also trained in military techniques which would be more appropriate in war zones, like shoot first and ask questions later, especially when dealing with minority individuals.

But the fact that the Capitol Police and Secret Service have allowed their ranks to become populated with individuals who espouse RW ideology and conspiracy theories is very upsetting.

There appears to be no effort to weed out individuals involved in the far RW political ideology and that is a dereliction of duty by the people in charge.

Congress should definitely look into how those services keep an eye on their staffs and the organizations they become aligned with. No one in either service should have any involvement in radical groups.
