Comment on How Did The Capitol Police Put Down Trump’s Insurrection?

Fortunately, a lot of those insurrectionists were just along for the ride. It was a mindless mob with no real strategy or technique. Their numbers were enough that they could plow through barricades and trample officers, but they didn’t have a goal. Sure, there were some people there who did have specific goals to accomplish, and those people used the mob to their advantage, but as a whole, it was just a LOT of people trying to get into someplace they shouldn’t be.

Had each of them been armed with a single plan of action, we might be in a pretty scary place right now.
