Today @anon15383236 turned me on to Heather Cox Richardson’s FB page wherein – today – she said that it was her understanding that the DC Police “were told not to engage with protesters”, and that a police dispatcher told her that “it looked like [the DC Police] were told to stand-down”.

Clearly that happened.

I can see Trump or someone in his inner circle having the brakes removed from this thing. THAT would even more clearly point to a full blown authorized coup.

I don’t think this is the case, but I suppose one should entertain the possibility of a small contingent using the mass of idiots as cover.

An MS News quicky from 10PM (EST I assume):
Police have arrested 30 people for violating a curfew imposed in Washington, D.C., after rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
Officials say the 30 people were arrested Wednesday evening after being found on the streets after the 6 p.m.
The curfew had been imposed after scores of supporters of President Donald Trump broke into the Capitol, halting the constitutional process of voting to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win. They were later forcibly removed from the Capitol.
The Metropolitan Police Department said 15 other people had been arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday in various protest-related arrests on an array of charges, including weapons possession and assault.
Fire officials also took 13 people to area hospitals on Wednesday from protest-related injuries.

I would hope ‘fomenting sedition’ to be among the summary dismissals for Capital police without the possibility of arbitration.

I figured it was Gabbard. I think she is still there? Maybe not. Maybe just an error.
