From WSJopinion: Police officers need better tools to disperse and control unruly crowds than they had last week at the Capitol, writes MichaelEOHanlon

Potomac Watch: A politician has to work hard to destroy a legacy and a future in a single day. President Donald J. Trump managed it. Image: John Minchillo/Associated PressJan. 6 in Washington was a major fiasco for the Capitol Police, and to a lesser extent for the District of Columbia National Guard. Intelligence and planning were poor.

There may well be similar failures of intelligence and planning at mass gatherings in the United States in the future. Sometimes it will be understandable, given information available to authorities at the time; sometimes, less so.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They have the weapons, we watched them used against BLM protesters. What they need is to purge the white supremacists who coordinated with the rioters from their ranks

opinion MichaelEOHanlon You’re gonna start seeing these types of weapons being used more. They still will have lethal force. Because they need it. I’ve been in the same houses they have. And this fight is not going to be won if we don’t cut each other some slack, 2020 sucked for the collective

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Christ y’all can’t see the forest for the trees. Jamming cells requires no hands on, neither acoustic machines that can disperse. Rather be hit with a rubber bullet than a real one. Really we have to stop being so “Woke” that we destroy our country We can disagree without hate.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They can just use the same ones they use for peaceful protests

opinion MichaelEOHanlon 😂😂😂 You mean military grade weapons!! What happened to police?

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Maybe like leadership that can reasonably assess widely available intelligence, for example? 🤷🏼‍♀️

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Ask the liberal Mayor !!!

opinion MichaelEOHanlon I hear 9mms work on unarmed Air Force Veteran protesters in the capitol. I thought Dems were defunding the police?

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Thank u for the opinion

opinion MichaelEOHanlon oh yea but all the cities that were burning... well that was love so dont worry about all the past 12 months of Antifa and BLM.... Fucking hypocrites!

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Only if they are Conservative otherwise it’s fine APPARENTLY Absolutely ridiculous liberals can riot & burn down shit all over the country for the last year

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They needed support, which never came.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They have tanks and army gear ffs! What else do they need?! The streets of US look worse than a war zone. How come they have all they need when they need to kick ass of BLM and other social protests, but not against fascist terrorists Or will the new “tools” be for minorities?

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They sure had better tools and crowd control at the BLM protests...No, they need better law enforcement officers that are not low key white supremist...

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Well, this gets a bit touchy. WHEN are they allowed to attack protestors? WHO is allowed to make that determination? Slippy slope time.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Tools to cut down on crime: 1. Giving people 2k instead of the breadcrumbs of 600. 2. Actually investigating election fraud and police behavior.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Just make sure they aren’t Q followers! And have more than you think u need

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Boots on the ground. It's all you need in the end.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon That never seemed to be an issue when black people were out in the streets demanding the most basic human rights.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon They have tools. They just get shit on by the MSM and SJWs anytime they use them.

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Hm... didn’t see articles like this after the much more damaging, dangerous, and deadly BLM riots last year 🤔

opinion MichaelEOHanlon ...or lockable doors.. if one side has weapons, the other side tries better weapons. Until both have MG3 or M60 or RPGs... so what?

opinion MichaelEOHanlon Man....you guys are wrong about everything. That’s hard to do

Opinion | One Shot Is Better Than NoneFrom WSJopinion: Once those at highest risk from Covid are vaccinated, giving more Americans a single shot—rather than two—would save more lives, writes RogerMarshallMD opinion RogerMarshallMD 💉 opinion RogerMarshallMD They’re not vaccines; they’re experimental mRNA gene therapies that show no efficacy beyond easing symptoms. Zero evidence that any of these shots create an immune response, nor have trials shown that they prevent the spread.

Opinion | Trump's 'better' Iran nuclear deal is a fiction we should no longer be entertainingIt should be possible to put the pact back together, but not if the president listens to the siren song of junking the old agreement for 'a better deal.' THINK The very best thing that could happen for world peace would be a nuclear armed Iran. Until that point the west and Israel will continue to attack it and threaten it with war. THINK God pls save Israel from all this modern day vampires THINK What bs. Iranians were chanting death to America as they were counting the billions from Obama. The Obama Iranian deal didn't go through congress because the vast majority of democrats didn't support it and the optics for Obama would be bad.

Biden has his work cut out for him. Believe sheeple believe Lies. Just the opposite is true. He has strengthened the USD by so much. Plenty of work as you said but I believe in Biden in this one. Telling them wife last night that I missed Obama and that Biden makes it feel like Obama again. ❤️
