The fact that Capital Police and Metro police had invovlement in turning the Capital

[beachbumbob]

over to the trump mob is going to echo thru law enforcement and may key the PURGING of white supremacist from law enforcement. As more pics of off duty police come forward that were in the mob, inside the capital comes forward, the pressure will build all across american law enforcement. Itsone thing to smash black folks unfettered and another to engage in sedition

1. Federal funding for local police should require this

[ananda]

2. CNN & MSNBC are not covering this.

They seem leery of it.

[stillcool]

6. msnbc has certainly covered it

Gen. Honore laid it out pretty clearly, as did the entire night-time line up. Don't watch the daytime b.s. so can't attest to that, but wouldn't expect it anyway. Edit to add, the Metro Police had no part in what the Capitol Police did.

[soothsayer]

3. Metro police aren't at fault here at all

No one asked for their help... if I’m not mistaken.

But say more. I mighta missed something

4. +1. The Capitol Police chief was the one in charge

[empedocles]

7. Probably already posted, but Chief & Sgt at Arms are resigning per the Speaker.

8. I'm not 100% sure

but I think this is about the story about off-duty police officers (and members of the military) flashing their badges to Capitol police members as they stormed it with the rioters.

[soothsayer]

10. Oh true, but they could have been from anywhere in the country

Even from the USCP themselves

[beachbumbob]

9. reports of off duty metro police were part of the trump mob, photos are showing this

as well as other off duty LEOS

[soothsayer]

11. Oh they were metro police? Then yes, drag em

[beachbumbob]

14. offduty LEOs from acoss the US, the idiot posting selfies of all things

the level of white privilege is off the charts as they truly believe no repercussions were going to happen

[soothsayer]

16. That's what I assumed: just from everywhere

[empedocles]

5. Investigation of Capitol & Metro Police would be a silver lining to all this mess,

especially, if investigations go nation-wide. Make some much needed cleanup of police forces possible.

[beachbumbob]

12. this is the a silver lining, as white priviledge and police bigotry will have to be defended by

police unions and police administrations

[soothsayer]

13. And security protocols, and drills and such

I’m sure they just ignored whatever protocols they had though

[Yeehah]

15. Seems like they allowed the rampage to happen

until the rampagers got tired of rampaging, when the rampagers were allowed to leave unmolested (with the exception of a small number of arrests).

[empedocles]

17. The suspicion seems to some police allowed or even helped the terrorists . However,

I saw pictures, [somewhere], of several officers with guns pointed point blank at terrorists immediately on the other side of broken windows.

That suggests a stop at some point.

[beachbumbob]

19. no fuking suspicion, videos and pics show capital police moving metal barricades

for the protestors to pour in

[RockRaven]

18. Off duty metro police were part of the mob

Someone posted a tweet from a reporter yesterday in which a Metro PD officer who was working the scene told her he had seen off duty cops and people he knew to be in the military amongst the rabble.
