THE CAPITOL POLICE FAILED TO MAINTAIN SECURITY, THEN HAD A BAD SHOOT. It’s not for lack of money. “After all the security breaches at both the congressional complex and White House over the years, and the many large protests in the city, you would think that the Capitol Police would have been better prepared. The Capitol Police certainly has enough funding to be prepared. The force has 2,300 officers and a $516 million budget to defend two square miles.”
