There are many alternatives that are not "total anarchy" or "puddles of blood" or "fort knox". Obviously America tends to prefer the fort knox strategy[0], but there are other choices like staging police nearby[1].

Yes, a serious error of judgement was made letting these people storm up the stairs. Hopefully cause of stupidity and not malice.

There is no way to attribute this to anything but malice. The police response was so wildly different from the response to any other protest we have seen in the past 10 years that it is laughable to even entertain the idea that it was a case of stupidity.
