has been the question since 2016.......how deeply has MAGA infiltrated the U.S. Military, National Guards, Secret Service, LEO's, ATF, FBI, Capitol Police, DC Police, etc etc etc.
We watched some DC Police and Capitol Police stand off, move crowd control fences, etc........

If I had been inside the Capitol as an ARMED cop, I would like to think that I would have "dropped" each of the insurrectionists as they came through the doors and windows, thinking that when the bullets started, most of them would have tucked tail and run.

If I was un-armed, I would have discharged a dry chem fire extinguisher directly into the faces, at point blank range as they came through the windows or doors. For all those coming through, and the 20+ around them, it would have been game over.....

When they started going after Biden and his SS detail, I was just waiting, lucky for the insurrectionists, no matter how many, they couldn't catch up to Biden's SS Detail. It would have been a bloodbath of insurrectionists by the SS regardless of numbers of the insurrectionists.......(Ever notice, how the SS agents keep their jackets un-buttoned????????)
