The Capitol Police had clearer advance warnings about the Jan. 6 attack than were previously known, including the potential for violence in which “Congress itself is the target.” But officers were instructed by their leaders not to use their most aggressive tactics to hold off the mob, according to a scathing new report by the agency’s internal investigator.
In a 104-page document, the inspector general, Michael A. Bolton, criticized the way the Capitol Police prepared for and responded to the mob violence on Jan. 6. The report was reviewed by The New York Times and will be the subject of a Capitol Hill hearing on Thursday.
Mr. Bolton found that the agency’s leaders failed to adequately prepare despite explicit warnings that pro-Trump extremists posed a threat to law enforcement and civilians and that the police used defective protective equipment. He also found that the leaders ordered their Civil Disturbance Unit to refrain from using its most powerful crowd-control tools — like stun grenades — to put down the onslaught.
It was BLM and ANTIFA the police were issued a stand down order
They haven’t learned much in their investigation, when they are still falsely claiming the dumb asses seeking violence were “pro Trump extremists “. If it were Trumplicans the job would had been completed and damorats thrown to the curb. That is exactly where they should be. Out in the skreets working for Pat and Turner. Patting streets and turning corners. Lousy bunch of anti American trash.
No matter how many times they say “ false claims that the election had been stolen”, it is a lie. The election was stolen. This report is more of a fake news narrative.
The US patriotic side is going to have to save our country before it is too late. The idiotic side has planned this take over for many years, decades. The good president (don’t have to say-you know) did a lot and started with putting GOD back in the meetings and schools. You don’t have to be a church goer to know that is our original foundation. The nut jobs want to destroy all of the foundation and have a third world country. Instead of foreign aid, how about helping veterans, street people, I’ll people, pandemic victims, etc.? If it had not been stolen by the anti American groups, the good man could and would have got us all the way back to MAGA.
“But officers were instructed by their leaders not to use their most aggressive tactics to hold off the mob…”
Good leaders hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Who were the leaders? Pelosi? Schumer? If so, this points
to a purposefully weak, even accommodating defense, knowing
full well that it all could be pinned on Trump’s rally participants
and the man himself. The MSM was quick to adopt a uniform
anti-Trump narrative and sticks with it to this day, despite clear
evidence to the contrary.
