Although many rioters clearly fought police to enter the Capitol, this video—which I am just seeing this afternoon for the first time—clearly shows Capitol police just standing by and welcoming a throng of protesters in:

Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them inside.

"I disagree with you," says one police officer. "I respect you."

Just shocking.

I was extremely skeptical and dismissive of claims that Capitol police would have just let protesters waltz in without going through a metal detector.

I thought we would have seen a video like this yesterday if it were true.

I was wrong.

1. The fucking magats cant even believe it...

"They're going to lock us in."

[soothsayer]

4. Right?

[soothsayer]

2. Under whose order? And who told that guy? And who told that guy?

It all leads back to drumpf.

9. thanks...

looks like my senior class high school trip

5. The one cop says "I disagree with it."

[MerryBlooms]

6. That's an OANN video. We clearly saw the violent entry.

This video does not show police letting people in, it shows doors opening, but not who opened them.

[Nevilledog]

7. I'm sure that's what their defense attorneys will argue.

[MerryBlooms]

12. Look, I'm not saying some weren't in on this, I think they were,

but I am always skeptical of anything from trump's OANN.

[MerryBlooms]

23. I apologize, those cops were aiding and abetting.

[Nevilledog]

26. ...

[stillcool]

11. It clearly shows them inside

the doors, standing on either side of the hallway. If you want to refute the video, please do not do it by denying what is so obvious.

[MerryBlooms]

14. I am always skeptical of trump's OANN.

I know some were in on it, but that rag is crap.

[stillcool]

18. I wonder who is putting out these video's

and what the reason is? How does it help them? That said, it seems easy enough to verify the authenticity of a video. We shall see.

[MerryBlooms]

19. I don't know. The twitter comments are in full support of the

insurrectionists and somehow they think the video supports their framing. The comments are delusional.

[stillcool]

20. yeah...delusional comments are a given..

it's just staggering that these people, even those elected officials, couldn't wait to post their mugs on the internet. That reality they live in must be something else.

[MerryBlooms]

24. I apologize to you too, the cops were aiding and abetting.

[meadowlander]

21. One of the cops on the right clearly says: "We disagree with you but we respect you."

To a man completely covered in black tactical gear carrying a backpack walking into the Capitol Building while Congress was seated.

[MerryBlooms]

22. Holy shit, okay I will apologize to the OP.

[Bradshaw3]

8. My neck is sore form shaking my head

And saying that's unbelievable so many times over the past two days. I have been to the Capitol as I'm sure many here have, and that adds to the sheer disbelief of these events. We know you only go where they allow and you have to pass through multiple checkpoints - and that's only after the process of getting to visit.

10. What a disgrace ....nt

[thecrow]

13. The Capitol needs iron gates that can be closed to protect different areas or rooms

If it had them, the rioters could have been kettled in stages.
And locked in!

15. I read a book about FBI agents years ago. The author told when he first started out, he'd see agents

driving away from reports of bank robberies. He found out that the first agent on the scene was usually responsible for all the paperwork and reports. So, they waited a little while -- I assume if the robber had left -- to get there.

The guys in that video look like they don't want to mix it up with the white wingers. Although there is no excuse period, hopefully their failure to respond is more they are waiting for help and they want to go home, than sympathy for the rube terrorists.

[Quixote1818]

16. I get the sense the police may have just given up because they were outnumbered so badly

This was probably pretty late compared to the early clashes.

[Vinca]

17. They clearly let them in and should be fired and lose any benefits that might ensue.

[Midnight Writer]

25. Good news for the defense lawyers. How can you charge them when the cops let them in?

If a cop opens the door for you and motions you in, you're gonna figure it's OK, aren't you?

I hope we find "smoking gun" evidence of a stand down order. I find it hard to believe the cops all simultaneously surrendered en masse.

[pansypoo53219]

27. they were outnumbered + qdiots etc armed. add trump gravy.
