This morning in a speech the president of the United States spent an hour wipping up a frenzy and inciting a riot. His followers -- baaaah! -- heeded his words and stormed the capitol. Unlike during BLM events, security was lax and ineffective, quite unprepared and understaffed. Because some of the officers may have been kinfolk or fellow fanatics.
Or in any case their committed fellow travellers.
"There must be an investigation to find out how these breaches were allowed to happen, and why the Capitol Police were so unprepared. Where were the tactical teams to secure any penetrations of the different perimeters in place? It was a complete failure in leadership all around. MPD has tactical teams as well that should have been on QRF (quick reaction force)."

It's pretty damned shameful when the president of the Unites Stats incites a riot. Which is exactly what his speech was intended to do, as anyone who spent time listening to him will readily admit. I listened. And I heard outright sedition there. I spent way too much time this morning listening to an explosion of bullshit.
We've become a shithole state. And the man who encouraged mobs to march to the Capitol is to blame. As well as his craven enablers. Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and many others.
I note, by the way, that around half of the protestors were not wearing masks or practicing social distancing in any way, so it will be a superspreader event, especially as those imbeciles head back to the red states. That may be some poetic justice for the fact that they weren't gunned down by Capitol Hill security or had the bejazus clubbed out of them.
