If they weren’t complicit they would have had security in place before the rally even started. They didn’t wait for BLM to do anything they had cops in riot gear lined up on the capitol steps to PREVENT the POSSIBILITY that things would get out of hand. Why didn’t they do the same thing here? I think we all know why unfortunately. Someone or several people on the inside WANTED this riot to be successful.

[@jacqdanieles]

It will come out in the investigation. There's going to be a 9/11-type Commission of inquiry.

[@Maintainingabadtrip]

If it was a surprise, 8-10 hours is not bad for such a mission. The fact that it was a surprise is the problem. People in positions to plan and execute knew what was going to happen and they helped the insurrectionists. They helped by dismissing the threat and keeping the capital vulnerable. These are the same minds who conduct drone Ops and blame Obama when they kill innocent Muslim families. They're quislings. Quislings. Their foreign government is their ideology.

[@namewithheld7835]

[@deanmarkus4504]

Seriously if it takes the national guard 8-10 hrs to mobilize how safe are we? If that's the response time anyone could attack us even Canada.

[@future_teknokrat7585]

Yes it took that long. Nothing can be done without orders. They cannot get rifles and live ammunition without orders from the Pentagon and that's for every state NG. Weapons cards have to be printed and distributed for accountability. Bullet proof vest have to collected and distributed. All of these take orders to be written, issued, and then cut through a chain of command. Furthermore, this equipment is not lying around at every NG "armory". Not every "armory" is an armory, it's just a name. Most of the riot gear and weapons systems are located, of course, on active duty installations, again, which requires orders to be issued and they have to know who's coming and when. Then you have to choose a mobilisation site, set the mission parameters, etc.etc.etc. Let's say this much, let's be glad it wasn't a foreign power and this will never happen again. There will most likely be an active NG unit manning DC onna rotational basis from here on out. And it won't be for traffic control.

@jaime amonzo First, nobody was talking about the Air Force. We're talking about the National Guard. They were deployed at 3:00, and were on scene by 5:30, after most of the violence had ceased. That's 2.5 hours, not 8, 10, 12, or 24 hours. TWO. And they (people inside the capitol, the Capitol Police, and the DC Mayor,) had been begging for aid and backup for HOURS before that, but were blocked or denied. Don't tell me about how long and hard it is to deploy these people. They showed up pretty fast, once they were ALLOWED to do so.
