Red flags suggest police could have prevented Jan. 6, and that Capitol security remains lax

…recent revelations about what Capitol Police knew in advance of Jan. 6 were “a little bit distressing” and require a much deeper exploration of intelligence and security failures.

“When you come across information that looks like the Capitol Hill police had actionable intelligence with great specificity -- we know when the events are taking place, we've got these bad actors talking about it on the internet, they're publishing schematics of the Capitol tunnel system and everything else -- that is a huge warning signal to any law enforcement or intelligence entity, that they have to take steps to prepare,” Brock said.

“So why did it break down from there? I'm sure we're going to find out.”

Brock said he was particularly troubled by the apparent lack of action related to a detailed eight-page warning that U.S. Homeland Security provided Capitol Police on Dec. 21, 2022, calling it the sort of “actionable intelligence” police since the 9-11 attacks usually crave to have for prevention.

“This one bit of information probably deserves its own hearings to find out why proper steps weren't taken well in advance of the January 6 events,” he said.

More than a dozen lawmakers interviewed by Just the News over the last week said that, while they deeply respect the frontline men and women of the Capitol Police, they have grave reservations that the department’s leadership has adequately fixed security for congressional buildings or learned from the mistakes of Jan. 6…

The capitol police clearly had all the intelligence in the world long before Jan 6 and did nothing with it. They simply let it happen. Now we have this episode to show that nothing has changed since then. This investigative news article is a great expose of the situation there.

 

So, why didn’t they stop Jan. 6?

 

Why didn't protesters just listen to police?

 

Because police and security let the ringleaders whip up ordinary people that were most in the crowd into a mob mentality. If you are as educated in psychology/human behavior as I am or more you know what ordinary people can do when swept up in such a thing…

 

So they got tricked into rioting?

 

As did the Mayor's office but she wrote this



The Chief of the Capitol Hill police requested SIX TIMES for additional help and testified the leadership turned it down.

 

Haven't you seen the video of them letting the protestors in?

Why was the proper and necessary security in place before it even began?

 

No, swept up into the moment. Don’t even pretend that that’s not a relatively common human occurrence.

 

I see videos have protesters beating police. Have you not seen it? If police were letting them in, what would more security do?

 

Not according to the summer protests. Each individual is responsible for their actions.

 

It's a sad day in America where rightists cheer and support the traitors storming the Capitol and beating on Cops.

 

Without Trump telling the Mob to attack the capital and Hang Pence we wouldn't have an insurrection.

Trump should be charged

 

Stop what? The Trumpets have assured us they were just tourists visiting the Capitol ...
Make up your minds - did something bad happen or not?

 

~ Those who have been paying attention know the answer ...

 

Sure - we've all seen the video ... the police set off tear gas as a grand welcome to the "tourists".



"The police let them in", my ass...

 

Held the line to begin with especially with troops backing them up. Haven't you listened to the Capital Police when they have testified? They knew they did not have enough people before the sun rose that day.

 

If protesters listened to police instead of attacking them, they wouldn't have needed more officers.

 

Fortunately that day hasn’t happened and it won’t .

 

And??

 

When was that day I don't recall it and which rightists of any merit?

 

Violence inside the Capitola Rotunda .. ? I don't think so . ​

 

Jan 06 2021 to June 19 2022

 

agree, if they treated Trump supporters like BLM would of been treated, they never would of got in the capital

next time, they will treat them the same

Trump supporters always claimed to be pro-police, turns out not so much

 

So you haven't seen the videos of them letting protesters in and to walk through and take pictures?

 

Here we see police "inviting" the "tourists" into the Capitol ...



And here the Secret Service welcomes the "tourist" into the Senate Chamber for photos ...


Holy ****, it's amazing that Trumpets still try to make excuses for this ...
