The new Capitol police chief wants to erect a permanent barrier around the Capitol building after the riot on January 6th:
NY POST – Permanent fencing should be installed around the US Capitol after the Jan. 6 riot in the building, which left five people dead, the acting chief of the US Capitol Police said in a statement Thursday.
Chief Yogananda Pittman said in the statement that a permanent barrier around the seat of democracy in the US has been suggested several times in recent years.
“In light of recent events, I can unequivocally say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing, and the availability of ready, back-up forces in close proximity to the Capitol,” she wrote in the statement Thursday.
“I look forward to working with Congress on identifying the security improvements necessary to ensure the safety and security of the Congress and the U.S. Capitol,” she added.
The Capitol doesn’t need a permanent barrier around it. It simply needs its law enforcement group to be more prepared than it was the day of the riot.
Also, I thought that walls didn’t work to keep people out? Isn’t that we heard for years from pundits in the media as Trump promised to build a wall? But now suddenly, when ‘danger’ hits close to home, they are ready to erect the wall of China around the Capitol building.
