Based on today's event, why would you think that they wanted to stop these rioters? Security was taking selfies with them.

Not just that.

Based on the reports, some of the rioters were carrying blue lives matter flags. I would say it's pretty obvious there were shared sympathies between the mob and those protecting the Capitol.

Being overrun by attackers is one thing. Ignoring them would be dereliction of duty. But assisting and siding with them? I don't even know what you'd call that anymore.
