Capitol Police Issue First Statement On Riots: We Are Conducting A Thorough Review’ | MSNBC
The Capital police opened the doors for this seditious riot and it’s a travesty against America. They who opened the doors need to be prosecuted
@Corporate Democrats Hate Progressives No. It was not one man against a mob. This kind of false information is not helpful. I see that you have a new YT account. Did you create it just to spam this forum, Comrade?
Joseph Aubrey
votes to defund the police if that make you satisfy
Thank you…yes.
@Pete Mitchell apples oranges , both departments failed completely in their jobs.
@Boaty Mc Boatface you’re wrong, but okay, pal. I mean, look at what you named yourself. Need I say more?
Incident? They mean Insurrection/Sedition against the United States government?
@frictionRx9 the left did NOT invade the WH now did they? NOPE, they stayed in the street
@frictionRx9 brain washed deplorable. Doesn’t make you smart when you keep repeating radical.
@Timmy Truth <-------- DELUSIONAL
@Timmy Truth William h. You changed your profile?
Daaayum sister want u be my baby mama 😍😍🔥. Now I falling in love 😆
Stop calling them riots. This was a terrorist attack!
It was a planned coup and the police did not take it seriously and were out numbered.
@Carm Capo yes, planned by Antifa and the democrat party.
@Bosse Berle sounds like stupid democrat when you put it together.
@NEO3 same riot provacateurs as in Minneapolis and Oregon.
@Gerardo Gama that’s stupid
Some of the police that were taking selfies along with the riots need to be charged as well.
@nathan podsakoff – I agree. Maybe they failed to do their job. Maybe they were in a difficult position that we cannot understand from the 5 second video.
Why? they became cops to further the white supremacy and there’s no law against that. Well one they actually have to obey. Trump is their hilter
@Deus Sanguinius – I agree, the Capitol Police failed to protect the building. My first thought is, these terrorists should have been shot when they got too close. My second thought is where would we be today if a couple of hundred people died yesterday. In the end, I was not there facing the situation and all I can do is say we are in a position to go after these terrorists including Trump for being their leader. The Trump campaign finances (the money he raised recently) should be seized because he is a terrorist leader.
@Alasdair Henley Evidently you haven’t heard Trump’s diarrhea from the mouth. He put these Officers in place for his plan that backfired. It’s all in his tweets.
@Karaoke Star it was already escalated when they stormed the capitol.
The capital police acted like they were at a tailgate party with buddies. I would fire many of them after the investigation.
@American Sparky Really? Because I seem to remember conservatives demanding BLM and Antifa be prosecuted, beaten and shot non-stop.
Direct quote from Trump:
“When the looting starts, the shooting starts”
@nathan mckenzie yes and those that weren’t put their coworker’s life at risk shameful
@Gordon Strong Sorry Gordon but your claim is “wrong”, a claim has been made. The Lt Gov of Pennsylvania is trying to collect on behalf of Pennsylvania due to evidence of voter fraud in the state where someone tried to vote three times for Trump. https://thehill.com/homenews/531485-pennsylvania-lieutenant-governor-says-texas-counterpart-owes-him-bounty-money-after 🤣
@Jim Porter Hahaha, oh i didn’t know that it’s made my day, thanks for posting 🙌😅
@mark Evans No evidence of that and that does not make what the crooked cops did right. Their job was to protect the people inside- not side with nutty protestors. for clarification- this was not all of the cops either.
The issue is the cops thought these insurrectionist were their friends since they’ve been counter protesting BLM for months
So cops… And fascists… Are on the SAME side??? WHAT?!
@Jasmin Kelley police reform? Remove the old guard and their generations of children that join LE period.
@Eric P they were waiting for the social workers to replace a d take their place
@gitgud haters
There is a difference between the DC police and the capital police. The capital police are federally funded.
Edit: I will never agree with defunding law enforcement.
Whatever the capital police failure was yesterday it just shows that they need more and better trained officers.
@Silverrob Regardless their budget has not been proven to make any difference. A lot of it they don’t need (they have to buy stuff so they can keep getting their budget). Bottom line it’s time to try different solutions in directing where that money goes.
Investigations are not enough. We want people to be FIRED and prosecuted for what they’ve done to allow & assist it to happen.
plus, the people doing the ‘investigating’ just invited terrorists into the Capitol and took selfies with them…so, spare me this crap.
@Jesus Christ, Emmanuel , God with us . well,JC you’re just delusional. Help is on the way
btw, inciting people and having corrupt cops not standing in their way (or even helping them) – this is a common russian kgb provocation… they used it in Ukraine, Odessa, year 2014… in that particular event, pro-russian mob attacked peaceful rally of Ukrainians, shooting them with guns while literally hiding behind police line… there were casualties, Ukrainians started to attack, in the end dozens of pro-russians died, which caused wave of hatred inside Russia and helped putin to get volunteers to send to war in Ukraine… Odessa chief of police simply escaped the country after that event.. Americans should be happy an “accidental” bloodbath didn’t happen at the Capitol… but watch out, 2 weeks you have this traitor president… and investigate police and those people not wanting to send national guard to help… is is very, very serious now, trump will activate pretty soon again
How much more evidence do they need?! How much of an investigation is *actually* necessary? We *KNOW* by name on video! The senators and congressmen that for 4 *YEARS* fluffed the tiny would be king and assisted in creating the terrorist cult that happened yesterday! They along with T×××× Need to be removed and brought to justice now!
Starting with Biden and Harris
Major failure of capital police!
A bunch of people taking over the capitol building isn’t a riot. It’s an act of treason.
@Thunk Junk moron
@Timmy Truth WHAT is wrong with you ? Forgot your antipsychotic meds traitor?
@Devo Because there is no evidence. they already re counted in Georgia and Wisconsin. Funny trump wants black counties re counted isn’t it? Trump wanted to stop the count when he was ahead and throw out the votes when he was behind, Get a brain!
@m jones yes recount after recount, but no audit to see if the votes are legit. Are you telling video evidence is not good enough for something like that? Get a brain.
You probally believed in Russia Russia.
@Chris Albert priceless
IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK
And Capitol Hil security collaborated with terrorists. Traitors all of them.
@Devo how deep does this stupidity run in Trumpers?
@Joshua Sweetvale I saw some but I also saw examples of heroes trying to stand their ground. One man on a stairway, one cop, against a mob of people and I’ll be darned if he didn’t give everyone behind him enough time to seek shelter. To me that’s a hero, so please be careful when you say all of them. I think that’s going to become a phrase we need to hear less and less of.
@Jean Alton Hey, stop being reasonable. This is a YouTube comment section.
And the head of the terrorist was trump his son and Giuliani with the help of some of the police! In my opinion they should be investigated by the FBI not by themselves! If it was the BLM they would have acted differently! But these were the trump loving people so no justice for them only a pat on the shoulders! Disgusting bunch of racists!
The selfie cop needs to go!!!!!!
to jail!
Cops – plural.
Judging by the police responce and lack of arrests, it’s the ones that didn’t assisst the insurrection that will be fired.
Selfie Cop need to get fired ASAP
Is he even a cop or someone just disguised as a cop
The police are investigating themselves? Cool, I’m sure they will be thorough.
REALLY lmao
You seriously think they’ll be the only ones investigating!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trust me , there are going to be Congressional hearings and people are going to go to jail
@James Ricker
Anyone who starts out a sentence with “trust me”, no thanks. Not trusting you at all! FYI, if you find yourself noticing people don’t trust you, that’s why.
It’s just as bad as starting at sentence off with: “ I don’t think” . If you don’t think why would I think you have anything worth saying?
Hoh great
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
Start with the police who OPENED THE DOORS and took selfies with them. Time to face reality, you have sympathisers of this coup attempt on your force.
Judging by the police response and lack of arrests, the ones that didn’t assist the insurrection will be fired.
The police have been infiltrated there hiring deep cover nazis to be on the police forces all over the country. They must be rooted out .
Start with trump
@Thomas McCracken Whack-A-Mole =)
Dregoth Dread Amen to that.
NONE questioned the behaviour of the “police” who were taking selfies with the Fine People. Like wtf
@Harry Longabaugh just like Fox wouldn’t show the BLM protestors stopping the rioters right? Please. These were trumpers. They’ve been saying they would do this since November.
Racism being exposed……..again.
@mark Evans Your life is without moral value. The Republic is being destroyed because you crackpots are gullible enough to believe baseless conspiracies.
@Harry Longabaugh You’re a crackpot.
@Harry Longabaugh 《《《Joined One Week Ago
I want to know if people are going to prison for this
There are clips of them opening barricade for the cultists
Hoh great
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
This was a terrorist attack, we need to find every single one them.
Every single news media must call it a terrost attack or else the people will be all confused all over again.
@Barnali D fox news?!? Hah “It is to laugh.”
@this Bushnell yeah thats what I mean, confused.
I don’t feel sorry for terrorists- they get what they deserve. that woman was just stupid!
Hoh great
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
“Don’t worry, they are white. We will just let them tire themselves out.”
Does *BLACK* lives matter?
Bias – they treated BLM differently
I am sorry the police force did a bad job !
Taking selfies with the terrorists
@Craftsman who cares? Whatcha gonna do?
@Silverrob I’m gonna go eat chicken and play rook ,but know this it s not over what you gonna do with biden gas prices all ready up ,
@Craftsman
I’m going enjoy my upcoming birthday and become an activist for inclusivity.
I also inteed to encourage the demise of the ‘Good Old Boy Network’ that has been the standard of politics and politicians throughout our Nation’s existence.
Y’all come back now, yah hear?
And rising gas prices are nothing new. I remember when gas prices topped a dollar a gallon and folks were loosing their s¿Ít,
This was an ACT OF TERROR, not a riot.. EXPLOSIVES WERE FOUND, REMEMBER?
@Trump Lost nope I didn’t see a terror attack. I seen peaceful protest.
@Trump Lost just like all the dem’s did with BLM
@Allen Edward If u don’t lie to urself, u will never get a night’s sleep 🛌.. Ur life is a lie and I get it 👍
@Trump Lost lmao definitely. You know me so well, thank you for your kind words. I haven’t slept in 4 years. Ever since killery Clinton lost. It’s been so rough for me and the other killery fans. We almost had him in peaches a couple times. So close. We’re about to do the 25th in peaches n mint soon. That darn Nancy pole-ski almost had him.
Federal building breached by people with bulletproof vests, guns and explosives. Domestic Terrorists. Then add trying to overturn the will of The People by ‘taking over’ the Capitol, that’s insurrection. Terrorist Insurrectionists. Just replace that with the word “Republican” on ballots from now on so nobody’s confused
“We will thoroughly investigate ourselves, before we find we did nothing wrong.”
