In the days prior to Jan 6, I saw several posts, one or two on Twitter I think, that specifically said the size of the CPD force was inadequate, even after I think it was a few thousand National Guard troops were added, and no one knew at the time the NG would be not be utilized.

Trump's frozen appointees were almost equivalent to a stand down order.

Was "Stand back" and "stand by" verbage to cue them in? As if they knew any defenses would be weak, and Trump's words were in the debates, months before.
