So does D.C. has no riot police? Why are they not teargassing the shit out of people at least in front of the building? Is it confusing that they are white?

CNN is reporting that the National Guard has not yet intervened because the Defence Department has not yet authorized the change of mission

DoD doesn't have any authority over the Guard unless the Guard has been taken into national service.  I don't believe that that is the case for the DC Guard.  The mayor can deploy them.

Edit:  I was incorrect.  The DC Guard uniquely is part of the federal government.  The Mayor can only use them with permission from SecArmy (delegated from president).

Yeah, the police were blinded by the whiteness and couldn't do anything.

Yeah, that woman looks very dead, whoever she is.  :(

For months over the summer we rightly condemned Antifa for storming federal buildings in Portland. If you are entering the Capitol Building against police orders, you must leave. There is a proper venue to resolve grievances. This is not it.

Bet these guys won't even get a fine.

Did they storm the buildings? I thought they just sprayed graffiti on them.

I am sorry but this is getting pathetic. There were all the police brutality scenes from the BLM protests. And then it seems they have surrendered the Capitol and the safety of the Congress with little to no fight.

I have no idea, but your view is not consistent with the reporting on CNN.  Apparently the mayor has made the request, but the orders have not been issued.

Our Capitol Bureau reports the protestors are remaining peaceful at this time.

That's the thing with coups. Controlling the security forces is important.

Unbelievable. Seems like the building has been surrendered to a few hundred lunatics.

I'm a little surprised there are no reports of journalists from the fake news media being attacked or even verbally abused.
