Capitol Police are coming out saying that they believe many of their coworkers and higher ups were expressly in on the coup plans.
Along with leaving cops of color in especially dangerous situations.
Why the fuck is it even possible that a cop could be on his own, in standard uniform, having to use himself as bate to lure terrorists away from elected officials?
“...I found out what they were planning when a friend of mine screenshot me an Instagram story from the Proud Boys saying, ‘We’re breaching the Capitol today, guys. I hope y’all ready.’” The officer, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation from his superiors, told BuzzFeed News...
...The officer said that while the department’s upper management had been telling them to prepare for Wednesday’s storming of the Capitol like they would for any other protest...
"...They had all been issued gas masks, for example, but management didn’t tell them to bring them in on the day. Capitol Police did not respond to BuzzFeed News’ request for comment about the allegations made by officers..."
"...The officer even described coming face-to-face with police officers from across the country in the mob. He said some of them flashed their badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain that this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help..."
“...There’s quite a big difference when the Black Lives Matter protests come up to the Capitol,” he said. “[On Wednesday], some officers were catering to the rioters...”
There's also reports coming in from anonymous cops of color talking about how management purposely undersold what was going on, left the cops unprepared, had them understaffed, had cops of color in dangerous positions.
Plus, cops being actively involved with the plot.
Not to mention if cops are saying that their coworkers were helping the terrorists, it means its even worse than it seems from the various videos we have. That's nothing something a cop would say lightly even in an anonymous interview.
