...and it looks like they're being allowed back into the Visitors' Center.

As we first reported, Capitol Police were the ones who asked guard members to move out of the Capitol today. After significant outcry, it seems like there is movement right now to get Guard members back inside the Capitol, into the visitors center https://politico.com/news/2021/01/2

@SenSchumer tweets “If this is true, it's outrageous. I will get to the bottom of this.” Guard spokesman says there is work underway to get them moved into the Capitol Visitors Center. Important to note after their shift the troops do have hotels to sleep in.

1. Thank goodness. The Capitol Police are governed by House and Senate in essence.

I don’t get how this is happening, especially now.

2. It may be because of the transition. Things are hectic and it could be an innocent mistake.

It was said to be temporary. How temporary no one knew or the question wasn't asked when the report came out.
The important thing is that it's being corrected.

3. The chain of command in the Capital Police

needs some serious work.

5. Is it because they are a daily reminder of their incompetence 2 wks ago? nt

8. Perhaps. Only one officer did their job.

If shots were fired at every person as they were breaking through a window or door, that whole mess wouldn't have happened.

7. Between this unnecessary f.u. and their absysmal

performance Jan. 6 it's clear the Capitol Police needs a restructuring pronto.
