(83,758 posts)26. What went wrong was from the very top of the executive branch.
It had nothing to do with those on the front line, alone and abandoned from those at the top.
Did you listen to any of the hearings? Did you listen to their testimony?
They protected every member of our houses for more than a dozen hours as terrorists slammed their head in door, tried to gouge their eye out, called them N*****, called to grab his gun!!! Shoot him with his OWN GUN! Pepper sprayed, bear spray, stun guns, flag poles, bats, hockey stick and a whole lot of anger.
One of the main points they had was just throwing money to the police without determining what went wrong on Jan 6 and other considerations of how the capitol police handle protests by different groups on the right and left will not solve the problem.
Ah, the whole 'both sides do it canard'. I have yet to see the left march on the capital to try to overturn the certification of a Presidential election while armed and carrying a guillotine threatening to hang members of our houses and the sitting VP.
One member that voted no hid in a closet. Terrified and went on multiple shows saying how terrified she was. Another was in her office and found all the panic buttons disabled. They were terrified.
Great call to vote against funding them.

No they didn't. The Cap police saved our bacon on January 6th. I wouldn't vote for any of them

I have more respect for team players who don't have time for showboating and grandstanding.
