But seriously I think that really needs to be taken into account. No other leader has advocated for 'taking the capitol' by force and as a social contract we as Americans have abided by that.

Portman: are all Capitol Police outfitted with riot gear?
Sund: no
Portman: why not?
Sund: maintaining riot outfitting and training is really expensive and it's never been a problem before

If local police departments can be outfitted like they're being deployed to the Middle East, why can't the Capitol Police?

Basically the Capitol Police have been relying on the fact that people obey them Well most of us are trying to live in a society. And most of us have some respect for a building that 'belongs' to us and the weight of history behind it.

If boring civilian federal office buildings in DC have gas masks for everyone it seems really stupid that the Capitol Police do not

Leahy coming in with appropriation committees have met your expenses and salaries every fiscal year. All answer affirmative.

Leahy: you said you needed more intelligence. The intelligence you *had* said that a violent, armed mob was coming to the Hill. The fuck else intelligence did you need?!
Sund: well they were talking about violence at the million Maga marches in November and December but they didn't perpetrate a coordinated military style attack on the Capitol

Maybe Ron Johnson should call this person as a sworn witness.
because he just blamed the police for this.

I can't believe Johnson at moment.
Like he is literally blaming the people who protect him.

Did Johnson just blame the police for turning the rioters violent because they deployed tear gas AFTER they'd already broken into the building?!

Senator Rosen asked how often firearms are brought to/recovered during demonstrations in DC.
Just three. The Million Maga Marches and January 6.

Rosen also wants to know what we're doing preemptively to prepare for those crazy Q kids invasion on 3/4.
