How many FBI members does it take to stage a fake riot? So far, at least a dozen.
Wowter99
All he had to do was reporting the presence of several black people.

Is it (((Ex-Capitol) Police) Chief) or (Ex-((Capitol Police) Chief))?
MilledGrist
Sounds kinda criminal, doesn't it?
sigurd768
Ok, fair, but why were the actual POLICE so unprepared (too few, not properly equipped).
PDXDragon
Maryland's governor tried to get clearance to send in his national guard for over an hour. Someone materially aided the insurrection.
Defsquad
THIS WAS A PLANNED COUP ATTEMPT AIDED AND ABETTED BY MEMBERS IF THE USCP AND DOD!! FULL FUCKING STOP!!!
Rasrun
forgive my ignorance if im wrong but was it not because the US national guard answers directly to the president, and the states does not? 1/
Rasrun
every state has their own national gurad, and THEY dont answer to the pres, but the larger national guard does i think.

Where are the fucking images of Sund during the assault?

It’s all in the name. If it had been called Trump Towers they would have been automatically summoned.

Who exactly denied the requests?

It wasn't a riot. It was an attempted insurrection and coup, instigated by a sitting president and elected officials.

Phone transcripts please.

They are not fighting for anything, not a better america, not for decent cause. They are fighting for someone. A man to hold power illegally

Umm thats not how the national guard works....
gurlsnuggler
That’s the point.

Oh I see now.. the Washington post is like the onion but they aren't self aware they are satire.
gurlsnuggler
The facts check it but yes, hate the writing style and the publication on while.

Trump wanted this to happen.

No shit
TheUtahn
The whole thing smells. I'mvery interested to see the results of an exhaustive investigation of the security failures/anomalies on Jan. 6.
Spongebobsbae
Investigation, charges and arrests. Charge them with aiding and abetting or whatever. We don't negotiate with terrorists
JackieTreehornProductions
Then why were so many capitol police not already on duty? I call bullshit on him. He didn't have adequate force from his own officers.
WherePoetryComesToDie
This is a very valid question, considering USCP employs 2k officers to cover a primary jurisdiction that's less than 1/2 sq mile in size.
JackieTreehornProductions
esp. considering Parler had many posts to police and security folks to stay home that day, take a vacation day, call in sick. Such BS
Ploty
Who actually is head of the National Guard?
Snoopy101x
General Daniel R. Hokanson serves as the 29th Chief of the National Guard Bureau and as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Ploty
Thanks
schwhettyballs
Thats only partially correct... The governor of each state acts as commander in chief. Or in the case of DC mayor...
scJazz
Sorry u r also wrong. POTUS > SecDef > SecArmy.
schwhettyballs
Not for National guard... they fall under the governer unless activated to active duty orders... Source: I was ANG.
scJazz
DC NG falls under the guide I gave. DC not any state. DC. Source. Checked rules. Sauce.
schwhettyballs
Even activation to active duty has to run through the governer or a position delegated.

This is what happens when you complain about strong police presence at protests...
llamalibrarian
The complaints have been about police violence at protests

Same difference?

There's a big difference between police being somewhere and attacking people
spamsmells
Kinda hard to attack people if your not there...
llamalibrarian
Ok, sure that's true or any of us then. But people were protesting police violence
