Lt. Gen. Russel Honor Report Recommendations for Improving Capitol Security

Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré has finally been completed. The 13-page report covers security failures at the Capitol and presents recommendations for security changes.

Honore and his team present some of the following recommendations:

• Bring in mobile fencing at the Capitol to replace the current rings of security fencing

• Establish better decision-making processes to avoid delays in a crisis

• Create mounted police units at the Capitol

• Approve the Capitol Police chief's request for security assistance from the National Guard

• Create a quick-response force to respond to emergencies

• Hire hundreds more Capitol Police officers to fill personnel shortfalls

Lawmakers are receiving bipartisan briefings Monday on the review.
Republicans have expressed resistance to implementing some of the permanent security changes.

Don't ever again elect a Fascist to be the president.

When we didn't elect a Fascist, the security problem still exists, because there's another Capitol Police officer killed, and another injured.

The reason is not enough funding? That's what I gathered when Madeleine Dean just spoke with Nicolle Wallace.

When you're given good advice, Congress, you act accordingly. Apparently, they have not.
