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.

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
