Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy (appointed by trump on june 2020, probably when this coup was being planned) refused to even consider sending in the national guard after repeated pleas from the governor until 90 minutes after the capital building was stormed.
were police officers in on it as well? impossible, there's no white supremacist problem with police in america. right away people are going to act like they opened the doors for them and took selfies with them.
[/i]Two Capitol Police officers suspended and more under investigation for alleged roles in riot[/i]From CNN's Annie Grayer and Ryan Nobles
Two Capitol Police officers have been suspended for their alleged roles in the riot on Jan. 6, said Rep. Tim Ryan, who is chair of the House Appropriations subcommittee handling the investigation into the police response to the Capitol attack last week.
“I know that there were two people that were suspended,” Ryan said during a press call. “One was the selfie officer and another was an officer that put a MAGA hat on that started directing some people around,” the lawmaker said.
Ryan confirmed that there are approximately 10 to 15 Capitol Police officers under investigation for their behavior during the riot, but he did not have specific details.
Ryan told reporters that one individual had been arrested, but a spokesperson for the congressman later said he was wrong and no members of law enforcement have been arrested.
The federal investigative interest is a priority and a part of the broader investigation into the mob at the Capitol, sources said. The investigation into insurrectionist ties to law enforcement is a priority because the skills that officers are trained to use during their duties could be useful to an extremist mob, authorities say. This includes clearing rooms, taking custody of people, securing areas and handling firearms.
this should really be it's own topic
forgot to link, and my post is glitched, so: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/capitol-police-officers-suspended-tim-ryan/index.html
so fitting that it was a black police officer from the same force that thwarted them. he baited the mob to follow them upstairs, diverting them away from our legislators (which they intended to murder) and give them time to escape.
Eugene Goodman, a real american hero who saved our nation from a nazi insurrection.

Yeah agreed. I know the US doesn't do knighthoods but they should give him something awesome. They should put up a statue of him, provided he doesn't have a sketchy history of like wife-beating or something similar.
The Trump brand is becoming increasingly toxic it would seem, Deutsche Bank, apparently Trump's largest lender, is saying they will no longer do business with him.

Many other donors are withdrawing support, including for the Republican lawmakers who voted against Biden's inaugaration.
Seems the chickens are finally coming home to roost. RIP Trump?
