Lankford giving Sund a chance to say Nancy was mean to me before knowing all the facts so I wrote a letter.

Langford looked stupid trying to act like the national guard can’t mobilize quickly. How long does it take? 2 hours. Oh. Yeah, that would have helped.

Lankford is blaming Mayor Bowser bc she requested that her city, whose population is 80% Black, not be turned into a hellscape of armed and armored police

They should have been ready to deploy immediately to response to a riot per the previous requests is my understanding. NOT doing public relations traffic.
but yes he looked dumb

Chief explaining how DC has to actually go thru a lot of bureaucratic nonsense to protect the city.

I'm hearing from multiple people here that it's a big problem that Mayor Bowser can't mobilize her own National Guard

I assume the reason the Feds have to approve the NG being deployed in a federal District is so the DC Mayor can't use them to overthrow the federal government but like,.....surely there's a happy medium

This whole narrative of 'maybe' it would have become violent after months of emails, social media posts, tweets by potus, and statements is really tired now.

Personally I think they all knew there were threats of violence but they just didn't think it would actually be carried out

On CNN
The former Metro DC chief is like maybe we shouldn't rely on email so much. There should have been a phone call. Basically John King and the panel is saying exactly what I've been yelling this whole thread.

Former chief We had to deploy the DC NG prior, like during the World Trade protests in the early 2000s, they weren't obvious but htey are very very good.

"I was on the House floor so I missed his call." If only we had phones we could take with us.

Jeff Merkley is being fairly generous here asking about rules of engagement. They were completely overrun which means they were inadequately prepared. Full stop.

Merkley asks if they run drills for securing the chamber itself. Senate SAA says that they conduct an annual lock down drill.
That seems not entirely true since nobody seemed to know through which doors the chambers should be evacuated.

Maggie Hassan asks about coordination between dept for protests and for recommendations.
Contee is fielding the answer.
He feels specific information that could change posturing, the notification system needs to be changed. the JTFF recipients are not monitoring 24/7

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. Basically the Capitol Police have been relying on the fact that people obey them They aren't used to dealing with unleashed honkys, you mean?
