They shouldn't be announcing anything but there should have been a TON more everywhere else. That's the fn Capital. So they don't want to hurt little snowflakes feelings with a show of force where they are trying to overthrow a democratically done election but they will go massively overboard with college students and everyone else trying to shine light on injustice against blacks(and minorites)? Great to know that it's literally due to the color of their skin.I can understand perhaps starting off with a minimally visible presence to not provoke, I thought during the BLM protests there was far too aggressive posturing, but absolutely no excuse not to have a backup plan that could be swiftly executed if that didn’t work.
WASHINGTON—Federal authorities had planned to deal with protests this week with a relatively small, minimally visible presence, according to law-enforcement officials, hoping to avoid inflaming tensions as a show of force had done during unrest last year in Portland, Ore., and other cities.
Capitol Police Weren’t Prepared for Rioters, Authorities Say
Federal authorities planned to deal with protests this week with a minimally visible presence, according to law-enforcement officials, an approach which seemed to backfire when pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol.
That approach seemed to have backfired on Wednesday, when thousands of pro-Trump rioters surrounded the U.S. Capitol and some easily breached the barricades and stormed the building, with one woman fatally shot by Capitol Police, according to law-enforcement officials, and three others dead in what the city’s police chief described as “medical emergencies.”
And this clown was the biggest tit of them all! Have they identified him yet?

minimal. the vast majority of those arrested were breaking curfew.
That's exactly my point. There are about 50k people next door and the person in charge is yelling to overthrow the government. They BROADCAST they were going to be doing this and "we don't want to antagonize these people" was their stance? Ok, have the other thousand police in the Capital in case they do something.
Presumably falls under this Act?!
