This sums up the ineptitude and complicity of the Capitol police force. Don't let the police chief resign but sack him! Sack all police officers taking selfies.https://t.co/Iz8MfbRX0r pic.twitter.com/JiSyU6KwzZ

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund is resigning from his post after facing widespread criticism for the way he handled a riotous mob of Donald Trump supporters inside the complex, according to multiple outlets. https://t.co/2FXNNfHGRu

I expect a full congressional inquiry as to his failure to secure the Capitol. Resignation is NOT enough, he needs to be held accountable. He needs to answer, on camera, why he denied added support knowing full well an insurrection and terrorist plot was in place. #CapitolRiots pic.twitter.com/uJRk4McJYV

There had been plenty of warnings. Plenty of time to prepare. Plenty of money to do it. But twice the Capitol Police turned down offers of assistance – once three days before the pro-Trump riot at the Capitol and again as the mob descended on the building. https://t.co/WbCrkhN5xd

Capitol police officer has died from injuries he sustained during the riot. So I guess blue lives don't matter to the MAGA crowd after all.

Someday kids will ask, “why did the police aid and help an insurrection mommy/daddy?”

And we will have NOTHING to tell them. Because this moment would entirely blow up their concept of “police are the good guys” if we try.
Makes me so sad. #CapitolRiotshttps://t.co/xMJTeseP0L

Same Capitol; 2 Worlds!

Jan 2020: Trump impeachment trial had massive security. No phones or property allowed at the Senate – just my ticket.
Jan 2021: Trump #CapitolRiots thugs at the same Senate chamber, but they got no security screening + brought military gear + zip ties! pic.twitter.com/LBQeemEc2c

Three days before the pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, the Pentagon asked the U.S Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower.

And then as the mob descended, DOJ leaders reached out to offer up FBI agents.
The police turned them down both times https://t.co/pATVRPtIgk
