Rep. Maxine Waters and Others Raise Questions About How Easily Mob Broke into Capitol as Congress Plans Investigations into Police Response

Surprising no one, but confirming of us what many suspected while watching a free-wheeling mass of Trump supporters break into the U.S. Capitol building, police in Washington D.C. arrested far less rioters in the white supremacist insurrection than they did during a single day of racial justice protests in the city this summer.
