LinkLinks Washington Post Editorial Board: Shutting the public out of the Capitol is the wrong way to safeguard our democracy By Editor On Jan 28, 2021 Last updated Jan 28, 2021 10 Share APPEARING BEFORE House lawmakers, the acting chief of the U.S. Capitol Police ticked off the factors that allowed a mob to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6. A lack of manpower. Insufficient supply of “less-lethal” weapons. Confused and garbled communications. Possible failure in lockdown procedures. She apologized for all the failures — but also said that if Congress wants to prevent future attacks, it will need to increase fortifications and sacrifice public access to the building. 10 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
