I have spent some time listening to what went wrong with security at Capital Hill.
The problem seems to be the lack of belief on the parts of DC police and Capital Hill police that HELP would be NEEDED.
therefore... both police departments apparently REJECTED help offered by National Guard. The troops were not sent in due to
misguided INSIGHT as to the SEVERITY of threat level.... which was judged as MODERATE when it should have been SEVERE....and as a result.... CHAOS.
That is the ISSUE here... and because of this FAILURE... arrests that could have been made on Wednesday... ( due to proper man power ) will now take months and years... or maybe never.
This is what people need to be focusing on.... VERY POOR management from the DC and Capital Hill Police!
This was a SERIOUS and COSTLY ERROR. Administration of both these police departments need to face serious consequences.
