Wonder if he's one of the cops who let Trump's brownshirts in.
I'm sure he posted his suicide note on Parler yesterday.
"CAPITOL POLICE WERE 'LEFT NAKED'
Despite ample warnings about pro-Trump demonstrations in Washington,
U.S. Capitol Police did not bolster staffing and
made no preparations for the possibility that the planned protests could escalate into massive violent riots,
The department had the same number of officers in place as on a routine day.
Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned after the riot, told The Washington Post
his desperate pleas for National Guard reinforcements were snarled for hours in a bureaucratic tangle and
worries about "the visual" of troops outside the Capitol. "
-- HuffPo email
"bureaucratic tangle"?
How about Secretary of Defense:
"In bent Christopher C. Miller
Acting since November 9, 2020"
... taking orders from Trash NOT to interfere, eg NO National Guard, with Trash's rabid, criminal cult mob violating and ransacking the Capital bldg
Dems should subpoena Miller and Sund.

"a well regulated militia" is, by definition, not an insurrection.
and "regulated" back then meant "managed", "organized" (maybe also "commanded")

Ex-Capitol Police Chief Says Requests For National Guard Denied 6 Times In Riots
security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early requests to call in the National Guard ahead of a demonstration in support of President Trump that turned into a deadly attack on Congress.
Sund contradicts claims made by officials after Wednesday's assault on Capitol Hill. Sund's superiors said previously that the National Guard and other additional security support could have been provided, but no one at the Capitol requested it.
Sund told the Post that
House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence.
He says
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.
Like Sund, Irving and Stenger have also since resigned their posts.
Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed
Bowser requested, and received, a limited force of 340 from the D.C. National Guard.
Those troops were unarmed and their job was to help with traffic flow — not law enforcement,
which was meant to be handled by D.C. police.
Lt. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, director of the Army Staff, said on the call he couldn't recommend that Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy authorize deployment,
"I don't like the visual
of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background,"

some bull in there somewhere.
If Sund, warned by FBI and NYPD, was concerned,
why did have only the standard number of USCP people at work?
He had the power to call up ALL USCP.
They all might be lying. The hearings will be must see TV.
Conflicting stories and finger-pointing from the people who failed to protect the U.S. Capitol
Sund, who is resigning over his failures, told The Washington Post that
the House and Senate sergeants at arms (both of whom have also resigned) refused to allow him to have the National Guard on standby.
Reps. Maxine Waters, Zoe Lofgren, and Tim Ryan all told the Post that they had asked Sund about his preparations for the Wednesday event and
he had insisted he was all set and plenty prepared.
They did not get the message that he needed the House sergeant at arms to get out of the way of having the National Guard formally on call,
“I was told by the police chief and the sergeant-at-arms that everything is under control and they had provided for every contingency,” Lofgren told The New York Times.
“That turned out to be completely false.”
Law enforcement leaders are claiming that they didn’t see anything out of the ordinary in the many, many social media posts threatening—you might say planning—exactly what happened on Jan. 6.
To the FBI, it was all protected by the First Amendment.FBI also in on the collusion/conspiracy to leave the Capitol naked?
To Sund, “You might see rhetoric on social media. We had seen that many times before.”
plenty of people outside of these government who watch for these things knew there was a serious threat.
“There was a failure among law enforcement to imagine that people who ‘look like me’ would do this.”

you do just one dry run coup d'etat, and you ruin it for peaceful, social justice protesters everywhere.
Hallmark cuts ties with Sen.Hawley, asks for its donation back.
https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news...-contributionsHallmark is asking Sens. Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall to return campaign contributions made by its political action committee in the wake of the Capitol riot last week.
“Hallmark believes the peaceful transition of power is part of the bedrock of our democratic system, and we abhor violence of any kind,” the company said in a statement confirming the request. “The recent actions of Senators Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall do not reflect our company’s values. As a result, HALLPAC requested Sens. Hawley and Marshall to return all HALLPAC campaign contributions.”
