Rumors also swirl about who actually was guarding the Jan 6th detainees. Less rumor/more actual about how the Capitol Police acted on January 6th--and those were citizens.
Now imagine people with tenuous ties to the US.
Some other data points:
Lindsey Graham allegedly urging Capitol Police to use their guns on the protesters
China had a history of bringing in police/soldiers from other areas of the country to quell protests elsewhere
Pelosi expanding the Capitol Police with offices in Florida and California.
Just something to think about, along with will those new officers be among the military age men that recently have passed across our nonexistent border?
Foreign police officers will be more willing to shoot US citizens.
The Chief of Police in DC is a Sri Lankan “First Generation American”, one Ashan Benedict.
He was pushing this change yesterday talking about how it will bring “innovation” to DC’s police force.
Yeah...innovation....kinda like if the Japanese Army had taken Los Angeles and put their guys on the streets with guns.
Benedict himself is of course an Affirmative Action hire, brought in precisely because he is alien to America and would not hesitate to violate the civil rights of Evil Whitey.
And we thought Marion Barry was bad.
Great. We can now be murdered with impunity by people who are not even our fellow Americans.
Four congressional committees oversee the Capitol Police. You would think the legislative branch might be a little concerned about the security implications of allowing non-citizens to work in sensitive positions on the Hill.
The headline is misleading. The “U.S. Capitol Police” are Federal officers for the U.S. Capitol complex and members of Congress. The article applies to the DC Metropolitan Police force for the entire District of Columbia.
Just wait, foreigners will be recruited into all branches of the military as well.
