Police chief confident Capitol won't see attack like Jan. 6 again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

One year after a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the halls of Congress -- sending lawmakers fleeing and leaving the building ransacked -- the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police expressed confidence in an interview with ABC News that his force would be able to effectively prevent any similar kind of attack on the nation’s legislative branch from happening again.

"I believe we can, and I don't say that as a challenge to anybody, " Chief Tom Manger said in a new interview with ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas. "But I do believe we can. I mean, one, when you look at what went wrong on [Jan. 6], we didn't have enough people, there were training issues, equipment issues. You know, there were things that we -- that with regard to intelligence that we probably should have addressed, but we didn't."

"Those issues have been addressed," Manger said.

A bipartisan report on the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol released by the Senate Homeland Security Committee in June showed there were widespread security failures on the part of the Capitol Police and law enforcement.

Hope you're right.

1. I Believe Him

A few well placed rounds, long before Babbitt got iced would have stopped the whole thing VERY early on.
If they now clearly define use of deadly force for ANY attempted invasion, only a handful of crazies will show up. The "I got caught up in the moment" drones will never even be there, and the defenders won't be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

2. I had to check to make sure it wasn't from the onion

Because, frankly, anybody being certain of that given these times sounds like a lunatic to me.

3. Maybe folks got caught off guard the first time, but never again. I believe Mr. Manger.

4. Yeah, well, when the instructions are laid down by a corrupt Commander in Chief

You telling me that with foresight, planning and better equipment at least half of LE won't blindly follow orders and turn American against American again?

The idea that somehow we were unprepared is at once comforting and discomfiting, but had the NG and law enforcement been in the proper hands and not at the disposal of a fascist wannabe dictator, this never ever ever would have launched.
