I would like the Capitol Police force to know that people don’t blame them.
They were deliberately hobbled. They were given a task with inadequate resources, and denied help when they needed it. That’s a betrayal, and not their fault in any way. For the most part they did magnificently well under the circumstances.
The only question in my mind is the one or two that appeared to be helping the assault, and the selfie incident. And even the selfie incident might be excusable if the police officer feared the threat of violence if they went against the crowd in a situation where they were isolated.
The world has the Capitol Police to thank for saving the USA from a coup.
I really would like people to amplify this message. Forward this to them if you know someone in the department. They should know that they are the heroes.
