[quote=Anonymous]I really think it came down to a blindspot based on the race and the political ideology of those who attended the January 6 rally. White cops with conservative beliefs didn't believe a crowd of white conservatives who supposedly "back the Blue" would do this. They didn't prepare because they mistakenly thought the crowd was an ally to police. Look at the backlash by the white-dominated police union against the acting Capitol police chief - a black woman. She is also in charge of cleaning house and figuring out if anyone on the inside was coordinating with the insurrectionists. In short, the police command at the time of the insurrection didn't want to believe the crowd was capable of this BECAUSE they identified with the crowd. It was a huge blindspot.[/quote]
