Capitol Police inability to secure seat of U.S. government raises serious questions

“There were clearly enormous, strategic and planning failures by the Capitol Police, by the Sergeant at Arms and anybody else who was a part of coordinating this effort here,” said Ryan, an Ohio Democrat. “This is the United States Capitol building with the United States Congress in session handling the presidential election process.”…

“Nobody belongs on the Capitol Plaza,” Ryan said. “Nobody ever goes on the Capitol steps. That is an illegal act.” He added that the mob members should have been immediately arrested.

When asked if Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund should resign, Ryan suggested there could be changes at the top.

“I think it’s pretty clear that there’s going to be a number of people who are going to be without employment very, very soon because this is an embarrassment both on behalf of the mob, and the president, and the insurrection, and the attempted coup, but also the lack of professional planning and dealing with what we knew was going to occur,” Ryan said.
