As someone who worked in the United States Capitol for the past 4 years, I am stunned by what we are witnessing. Every day I passed USCP with significant weaponry, was questioned multiple times to see my ID, & have seen USCP use more force with protestors in wheelchairs.
I want people to understand the United States Capitol Police is a separate entity from MPD. I don't understand how USCP was so unprepared when they knew about the permits and these groups propensity for violence.
I’ve walked this stairwell. Questioned for ID on each level. USCP just backing off is insane. https://twitter.com/jazmineulloa/status/1346898566703435779
