All the videos and pics I've seen of the so called "INSURRECTION", it looks to me as though the Capitol Police were helping the "rioters", directing them on which way to go....!! With electronically locked doors, someone had to let them (rioters) in....!!

A Senate panel issued a scathing report detailing law enforcement failures before the Capitol riot.

The report came 10 days after Republicans ocked a bipartisan commission to probe the siege.
The report "uncovered a number of intelligence and security failures" by federal agencies and Capitol Police.

A joint Senate panel released a scathing report on Tuesday that skewered the intelligence and coordination failures that led to a "violent and unprecedented attack" on the US Capitol on January 6. The report, undertaken by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, came 10 days after Republicans in the upper chamber blocked a bill that would have established a bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly insurrection.

The 128-page report is the first in-depth public examination by Congress of the events leading up the siege and its aftermath. It is one of several congressional probes investigating the attack.

"The Committees' investigation uncovered a number of intelligence and security failures leading up to and on January 6 that allowed for the breach of the Capitol," the report said. "These breakdowns ranged from federal intelligence agencies failing to warn of a potential for violence to a lack of planning and preparation by USCP and law enforcement leadership."

Among other things, lawmakers found that there was conflicting intelligence about the threat of armed violence before the attack, a lack of preparation by law enforcement agencies for the violence, and a subsequent refusal by agencies to take responsibility for the breakdown in communication and lack of preparedness.

Officers told the committee investigators that they felt abandoned, hung out to dry, and "betrayed" by Capitol Police leadership during the attack itself, with one officer recalling hearing a lieutenant asking "[d]oes anybody have a plan?" multiple times on the radio.

"I was horrified that NO deputy chief or above was on the radio or helping us. For hours the screams on the radio were horrific[,] the sights were unimaginable[,] and there was a complete loss of control," another officer told the committee. "For hours NO Chief or above took command and control. Officers were begging and pleading for help for medical triage'.
