      I can’t get over how thoroughly the Capitol Police, one of the nation’s largest and best funded police forces, failed today. Their utter abdication of their most basic role—hold control and secure the Capitol building—endangered every person inside, from the Vice President down.

      having been roughly arrested by them--at a completely peaceful, utterly non-threatening pre-announced protest with a 93-year-old woman--I can testify that they're capable of acting like jerks when they want to.

          Same comments apply when one tries to ride their bicycle across the Capitol plaza.

          ...or anywhere near it. I've been almost run over in a bike lane by one of their SUVs.

          Yep. They have no problem yelling at staff for jaywalking or other minor offenses.

          A problem is that when police are dealing with peaceful protesters they can be violent without much chance of retaliation but, when dealing with a violent, armed mob, they are afraid of the retaliation they might receive! Thank's for you book, The End of Nature; changed my life

          well if they unloaded with everything they had, they might have also blocked the entry ways.
