Not trying to enflame, but I think it is hard to interpret what happened


any other way.

Yesterday I heard police, military, Republicans, Democrats, all say they could not imagine how the preparations for the protesters could have been performed as they were. Nor could they understand the execution. They used BLM protest as a comparison, but not to claim racism but as an example of how to properly prepare - layers of defense, etc.

They called out Capitol police (did you know they are the 9th largest police force in the US?), the Secret Service, the National Guards, etc. But mostly they all resoundingly called out the approval chain and admitted that seemed to point to orangina because it was only once Pence intervened that things started moving in the right direction. Plus there were reports from those that claimed to have directly witnessed Orange Crush's reluctance to call in needed reinforcements.
