Yes I saw all of that. I don’t need more evidence of an insurrection—most reasonable people realize that’s what it was. But there is this seemingly bizarre behavior by Capitol Police which should be addressed. The others responding here to my post are speculating about why the police acted the way they did. But we still don’t know why police would casually escort insurrectionists around. That can’t possibly be SOP. Were these sympathizers? I don’t know. But it looks bizarre and deserves a serious review.

Most of the law enforcement experts I've heard interviewed about it say that they were completely outnumbered and they're doing their darn level best to try and not escalate the situation.

I imagine if they started trying to zip tie him...would have been a potential spark igniting a flame that would have led to a much darker place.

Finally...I would add the fact that this was a completely unprecedented situation and given the circumstances....I think they did their jobs bravely and capably....preventing a far worse situation than it ended up being.
