The acting U.S. Capitol Police chief cites a “multi-tiered failure” on the day of the Capitol insurrection and says the agency’s incident command protocols “were not adhered to.”

Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman denies law enforcement failed to take warnings of violence prior to Jan. 6 seriously because many of the people traveling to Washington before the Capitol insurrection were white.

Images on Jan. 6 of pro-Trump rioters walking unimpeded through the halls of Congress contrast with far more robust law enforcement responses during protests for racial justice last summer, even when there was little or no violence.HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SECURITY OFFICIALS TESTIFYING ON THE CAPITOL INSURRECTION:

The capital police should have been 'all hands on deck' on January 6, 2021, but they weren't.

She should be held accountable.

Only failure was deadly force was not used from the start . If it was BLM deadly force would of been used

katiecouric Acting Capitol Police Chief gave crucial testimony. Phone records support Former Chief's testimony that he reached out to Frm Sgt of Arms of House for help getting Nat'l Guard involved much earlier than Frm Sgt Arms would agree during his testimony.

He couldn't read his own FBI warning. That's a one tier failure... His. To say there was no intelligence when we all saw this building for weeks was idiotic. Any random person who saw Charlottesville knew what was coming.

We could all pretty much 👀 that!
