Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund arrives to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs & Senate Rules and Administration joint hearing, Feb. 23, 2021, in Washington, DC.
The former chief said that"extensive" preparations were put in place ahead of the riot including"intelligence and information sharing with our federal and local partners, and department officials, implementing significant enhancements for Member protection, the development of extensive operational enhancements to include the additional posting of officers around and inside the congressional buildings, a significant civil disobedience deployment, and an expanded perimeter, and the...
Stenger, the former Senate Sergeant at Arms, speaking publicly for the first time, said in his opening remarks that Washington, D.C., is a “unique environment” for law enforcement in the region and said everything should be reviewed.

The committee chairs, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Gary Peters, D-Mich., said another hearing will include representatives from the Department of Defense, FBI, Homeland Security, and other agencies. Lawmakers from both parties said they want to prevent incidents like the siege from ever happening again.
Sund said he directed the Capitol Police to have every sworn officer working, and activated seven Civil Disturbance Unit platoons, which included approximately 250 officers. Four of those platoons were equipped with helmets, protective clothing and shields.
But Ron Johnson says the insurrectionists were “jovial.” If he’s not an idiot, I don’t know who is!
This is the kind of Trump world you guys wanted? Most of you crazy republicans needs to change or otherwise this is gonna be a country of chaos. Trump’s needs to be punish. He created this violence(period)

On June 9, 1954 Joseph Welsh, representing the US Army in hearings where Wisconsin senator Joe McCarthy was pushing a baseless campaign destroying people’s lives, Welsh asked the question, “Have you no sense of decency?” I’d ask SenRonJohnson the same except we know the answer.

Do you think repuglycans even care about your safety. Republicans only care that you take care of them.

Capt. Carneysha Mendoza and the Capitol Police are heroes. Never forget Utah reps SenMikeLee SeanReyesUT BurgessOwens RepChrisStewart actively fostered GQP doubt about the legitimacy of the election, then minimized the US Capitol insurrection and domestic terrorism. utpol
She’s lying under oath. You do not get chemical burns from pepper spray or tear gas.
Awful. Any more news yet on the lady who got shot, and the several who, according to the BBC, died in the riot? Especially the other police officer? I just ask as the media versions appear at best sketchy.
Powerful testimony.
Chemical burns? Where?
Meanwhile, SenTedCruz is playing Candy Crush on his phone.
Those white ass bastards
DONALD TRUMP AND HIS DOMESTIC TERRORIST GROUPS DID THIS !!!
