I've seen a discussion that implies there was a vote to increase the Capitol Police budget by $2 Billion, while the DC metropolitan police budget has been cut. It is also being suggested that the Capitol Police is opening field offices around the country! Is that accurate?
In reviewing the testimony of the Capitol Police inspector general, it seemed he was indicating that the failures inside the capitol were failures of leadership (including orders NOT to use less lethal crowd control measures) and insufficient funds.
