Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2021 A tricky one. If they'd gone in hard at first and more had died or been hurt, then they make heroes of them and Trump gets an ego boost. As it is, they look a ramshackle, destructive mob, and Trump is fucked over. Shouldn't have been allowed to get so far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to hear the official account of what decisions were made and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter fatolive Posted January 7, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2021 Even in the video , the girl gets shot by someone the other side of the door, but there were armed police on the same side of the door as her, who, dropped to help her as said, but why were they stood allowing them to try and break the door? appreciate it is only a short clip and they may have only just arrived or struggled to keep them back but it does look strange.

Not sure how it works over there but you would imagine an inquest and possible criminal charges against the chief of police for dereliction of duties given what the outcome ended up as with loss of life etc?

Escobarp Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Has somebody instructed them to stand down and allow the breach to occur? Trump maybe? Conspiracy tackle that I know but I can’t fathom it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right I will add some insight for you The capitol police are a complete separate police force from the DC police ( this is by design) , so saying that the Mayor of DC as no authority to send DC police on to Capitol grounds unless asked ( by which time it was late) , she cant even send in the national guards for the same reason On a light hearted note the last time the Capitol build was breached was by the British and we burned it down in 1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy tackle that I know but I can’t fathom it. I think it's more likely that there's another barricade a bit further up the road and they're pulling back to a position that's easier to defend. Either that or they've been asked to stand down so as not to inflame the situation (which didn't work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Stone island and CP and it would’ve kicked off hours early and they wouldn’t have got much further than the train station. Lesson to be learned when going to away games. Wear daft animal skin hats and you can take liberties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was either let them in or they break it down, no win situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand maybe they didn't actually think folk would actually try and storm the building On the other maybe trump wanted them too In any case it's hard to imagine someone would've said "get all the manpower we can to surround the building" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
