Reminder fo what capitol "security" in full military-grade riot gear looked like for Black Lives Mat

If I remember correctly, it was the Park Service that issued the permit for the protest (nothing to do with DC mayor)

Reminder fo what capitol "security" in full military-grade riot gear looked like for Black Lives Matter protests this summer.

If it takes folks like that to protect it and other federal and state facilities, then have them there daily. I think we can do it without military and I hope an investigation identifies how these terrorists breached the Capitol today. The Capitol Police are controlled by Congress.

Maybe rather than just blanket criticism of using military force this past summer, we should have specified where/how it should be used.

Whatever, trump should be removed from office immediately.
