Board to begin search for permanent Capitol Police chief

that extremists were likely to attack Congress and try to halt the Jan. 6 certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory

But as the invaders wielded metal pipes, planks of wood, stun guns and bear spray, the vastly outnumbered rank-and-file officers inside the building were left to fend for themselves without proper communication or strong guidance from supervisors. The officers weren’t sure when they could use deadly force, had failed to properly lock down the building and could be heard making frantic radio calls for backup as they were shoved to the ground and beaten by rioters.

Pittman lost the support of much of the agency’s rank and file after Jan. 6, with the Capitol Police’s union voting overwhelmingly to show no confidence in her. Several officers have called for the elevation of agency leaders who were more directly seen fighting the rioters, including Thomas Loyd, an inspector who gave an initial lockdown order before Pittman did.

She should be in jail !

Now this is the bullshit that goes on! AC Pittman faced scrutiny when she was the 1st Black Woman after the riots! It was a big ordeal then when it was announced! So how is she tied into riots prior to her promotion? Lets get help! NAACP DerrickNAACP please help our sister!

JonLemire Are the CP elite forces? If not, shouldn’t they be? Guarding Congress seems like it’s on a similar level as guarding the Vatican or Buckjngham Palace.

Opinion : with all the rioting looting and death and violence going on law enforcement officers are skeptical about applying for the jobs....

I think they should hire the top Parisian/ French police Commandant, who stated within 2-3 days after Jan 6: 'They absolutely failed to follow procedures, & I know this, as I've trained in DC, and their Officers have trained in Paris(!) on riot control measure protecting govt!!'

So how did a black acting chief fail? That’s blatantly racist!

Strange how this article doesn't mention Pittman didn't lead the capitol police on Jan. 6th. She wasn't appointed until those previous leaders resigned. Why should she 'face scrutiny for law enforcement failures' that didn't happen on *her* watch. Context matters here. Scapegoat?

The police chief holds the role as overseer. A singular accountant where they hold the absolute truth. Press events and making the final judgment. The near miss of abolishing the Presidency, such police chief job remains.

Yeah just a couple of failures 🤔

Acting Chief Pittman wasn't appointed until the 11th so why is she facing scrutiny for what happened on the 6th?

Toastess, she.

Very... interesting
