Government Response after Insurrection
Washington D.C.- The Insurrection at The United States Capitol took the world by storm and prompted a National Emergency as a riot from extreme leftism stormed into The Capitol breaking through doors, glass, beating up civilians and cops alike. The President of The United States is partially the blame because he invited the crowd to the building where House was counting votes for what will become Joe Biden's official win. Over 50,000 people stormed the Capitol on Wed, Jan. 20, 2021. The crowd arrived at 2:30 p.m.in riot gears to capture hostages and kill government officials. Many people across the country watched it live on television with horror and disbelief.
The argenteus acts from the insurrectionist would soon be condemned by world leaders but the worst thing about it was the rioters came very close to the senate and the building went on lockdown. The insurrection was the second time this has ever happened in U.S History, and the first attack since the British during the war of 1812 burned it down. The police were outnumbered during the attack but the few who took on the bravery by guiding rioters away from The Senate, backing people up, removing people slowly but surely. Some officers got injured during the attack which resulted in the death of five people including Officer Brian D. Sicknick. The damage was appalling and every room including Nancy Pelosi’s office was damaged, robbed, and destroyed. The National Guard secured the building by 8:00 p.m.
The Aftermath of the insurrection sparked outrage throughout the country and many world leaders highly condemned the actions taken at the capitol. The government response was quick and highly condemned Trump for inciting an insurrection which leads to the second impeachment which is unprecedented and the first in U.S History in which The President in the United States of America has received two impeachments during the term. The Senate and House called for the provocation of the 25th Amendment which states that if the Vice President signs the deal then the power of the president is taken over before the next term. FBI also started investigating what was the cause and problems that led to this attack which was later described by other officials that systematic racism and extremist who took the streets and stormed the capital. Many of President Trump’s formal appointee s condemned Trump as well for not taking action such as Formal FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has received reports for more protest to take place at the inauguration and all 50 states capitols and when confronted about what happened at the insurrection he replied,
“I think that’s all part of the concerted and coordinated efforts that led to the violent attack,” Sund said. “Those were diversionary tactics to pull resources away from the Hill in advance of that attack. I honestly believe that.”
Washington D.C City Mayor also called out for the National Guard to take control of the city in preparedness for the inauguration. Over 20,000 Troops have shut down the city and Blocked the streets armed and ready in case of another attack.
According to Military Times, people have to show proof of residency to get in and out of Washington D.C.
“Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has now authorized up to 21,000 National Guard troops from around the country to assist law enforcement with security surrounding the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, according to the National Guard Bureau.”
“As always, our first priority is to protect people and property — and the safety and wellbeing of our National Guard personnel and their families,” Hokanson said. “I visit with these men and women every night and they understand the importance of this mission. They are also proven, prepared, and proud to do their part to ensure a peaceful and safe inauguration of our incoming commander-in-chief.”
Security Threat is high but the local and federal officials are working hard and asking the public for information. Due to the phone wires and data people traced while storming the Capitol, there has been arrest and many people are facing trials and losing their jobs. The nofly list has grown by the numbers and military personal are working to bring justice to democracy. Many Governors and News Medias Condemned what occurred and as the days go along new security measures will be added to prevent another attack from taking place.
