Police intervenes in US President Donald Trumps supporters who breached security and entered the Capitol building in Washington D.C.The head of the Capitol Hill police department said its officers "responded valiantly" to the pro-Trump mob who invaded the halls of Congress Wednesday.
In a press release shared with Insider Thursday, police chief Steven Sund said there were "thousands of individuals involved in violent riotous actions" who were "determined to enter into the Capitol Building by causing great damage." Lawmakers resumed the count later Wednesday night, once the Capitol building was cleared. More than 100 Republican lawmakers still objected to some of the electoral results, citing false conspiracy theories about voter irregularities and fraud.
Sund said his police force was stretched thin by reports of pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee buildings elsewhere in the city, as well as reports of a suspicious vehicle. He said the devices were disabled given to the FBI for analysis.

They literally let them in....
Reward those who upheld democracy but many were not so valiant. Many were enablers, assisted the terrorists, joined with them, and took selfies with them.
valiantly snapping selfies, opening doors & gates and escorting the terrorists with kid gloves. insidejob PolicethePolice
