Reich: Capitol police were warned and ignored it

Here's his FB post (copied below) commenting on this article. The same pretty much happened with the national guard, also warned and refusing to protect the Capitol. We must investigate and find out why top officials were complicit in the overthrow of our government and democracy.

"Capitol security’s failure to prepare for the violence of January 6th keeps getting worse and worse. Numerous reports have revealed that security officials had ample warning, from multiple sources, about what the pro-Trump crowd was planning to do. In addition to formal intelligence reports, new emails show an outside group flagged a series of troubling social media posts that unequivocally called for storming the Capitol — but Capitol security officials dismissed the warnings and claimed there was “no talk about any credible threats or storming the Capitol.”

"There is no excuse for this. Capitol security officials had multiple forms of intelligence that spelled out exactly what was going to happen on January 6th, and they did not fail to prepare — they outright refused to. Time and again, we’ve watched as militarized police forces are deployed to counter peaceful protesters standing up for Black lives and racial justice, spraying them with tear gas and stun grenades and the like. But when literal white supremacists and far-right militia members prepare to attack the bedrock of our democracy, suddenly there’s no need to prepare for violence. Unacceptable."
