[quote=Anonymous]Clearer repost of my 13:04 response to the 7:54 comment:

Yes, I think that Mayor Bowser will likely request a larger and more well-equipped force. I'm sure that she will request this in advance -- just as she requested NG forces in advance of January 6th. I think this is true in light of the failures of the NCP and other federal agencies and also because the scale of what the Trumpers seem to be planning for Inauguration Day is possibly going to be larger and is more likely to extend beyond the federal jurisdictions into areas of the city that she does control.

In response to your "what - ifs" -- in addition to calling up the NG, the first line of defense, obviously, were and are the MPD -- which Mayor Bowser does have the ability to call up immediately in a crisis as well as proactively -- again, as she did last Wednesday.

Mayor Bowser has not "shrugged" at any point in this -- in marked contrast to the leadership of the Capitol Police and possibly the DOD.
I'm not sure why you're focused on how Mayor Bowser smells. Again, though, I'd like to point out that Mayor Bowser requested forces that actually were adequate for the tasks that they were responsible for. In addition to that, the MPD -- thanks to Mayor Bowser -- ultimately were what kept the tragic fiasco from being even more tragic.
