...one congressional staffer said — videos have circulated online appearing to show a Capitol police officer taking selfies with the [rioters], and some Metro D.C. police officers were seen chatting and joking around with [rioters] who had breached the perimeter.
“The fact is that it’s explicitly because they were white dudes with the support of the president that law enforcement basically did nothing,” the staffer said.
One current Metro D.C. police officer said in a public Facebook post that off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the building. “If these people can storm the Capitol building with no regard to punishment, you have to wonder how much they abuse their powers when they put on their uniforms,” the officer wrote.
